The Met and many, many more.

It's all for you, Anna.

For a night dedicated to all things punk, we saw shockingly little of Vivienne Westwood, inarguably one of the creators of punk style, at last night's Met Gala.

Photographer Steve Emberton on shooting this famous photo of Sid and Nacy: "We knocked on the door but nobody answered. I knocked a bit louder and still nobody answered and I was beginning to wonder if it was going to happen at all, and I knocked really loud and eventually the door opened and it was Sid and he didn’t have a shirt on or anything. He was just dressed in his leather trousers and he was standing at the door and he let us in and I thought, 'Oh this isn’t going to be much fun.'" Only it was.

"PUNK: Chaos to Couture," the latest exhibit organized by Andrew Bolton for The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, opens to the public tomorrow. The press got a first look today. And I have a feeling reactions will be mixed. (The International Herald Tribune's Suzy Menkes already panned the exhibit for being too "sanitized and bloodless.") Here's why:

Miuccia Prada may be one of the most influential, beloved and respected fashion designers of our time--evidenced by the fact that she's about to be honored with an exhibit at the Costume Institute at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, she wasn't always so keen on the idea of working in fashion. In fact, there was a time when she "hated it."

Given the record-breaking success of this year's Alexander McQueen retrospective at the Met, museums would be smart to put more fashion in their halls. And if today's piece in WWD on museums "getting fashionable" is any indication, they are. Harold Koda, curator in charge of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, told the trade, “Clearly the critical as well as popular success of the McQueen show suggests that fashion design has a more secure place in the precincts of an art museum.” While any museum would be hard-pressed to recreate the magic that was "Savage Beauty," more fashion exhibits are popping up all over the world and several big ones are already on track to debut next year.

As soon as Paris Fashion Week comes to an end, we begin our annual countdown to the most important night in fashion--the Costume Institute Gala at The Met. This year, the big night will be even more special than usual as the fashion community celebrates the genius work of the sorely missed Alexander McQueen. Anna Wintour and Samantha Cameron unveiled images and details of the upcoming Costume Institute exhibition, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty this morning in London, Vogue UK is reporting. Stella McCartney, a friend of McQueen, as well as his successor, Sarah Burton will co-chair this year's event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
