The Met Costume Institute Gala 2011

Not to be cliche, but as most of you know May 2, 2011 was the fashion event of the season The Met Costume Institute Gala...a.k.a fashion porn, fashion golden globes etc. This year was dedicated to the late Alexander McQueen 'Savage Beauty' and every editor, socialite, designer, and celebrity was there.

Since my invitation was apparently 'lost in the mail' I can't offer you full coverage of the event. I can however give you the best of the best looks. I'll leave the disasters of the night for Joan Rivers and the fashion police crew to discuss *clears throat* Taylor Swift, Serena Williams...seriously how did those bitches even get invited they couldn't know less about style. Oh and one last comment, the goal is not to wear a pretty dress or some crazy costume; this event is to showcase style and the art that is fashion and I think the following attendees did just that...# 1 look of the night: Christina Ricci in Zac Posen. There aren't enough adjectives to describe this look...dramatic, elegent, chic: she took it to the edge but knew just when to pull back#2 look of the night: Daphne Guiness in Alexander McQueen this socialite understands that clothing is not just something used to cover the body but a form of art.

New York Fashion's Night Out

If you don't know about FNO is your probably living under a rock....Stores in most major cities stayed open late, served drinks, and dedicated the night to fashion.

Sometimes living in New York really has it's perks, FNO was one of them. A few glasses of wine mixed with the party happening in the streets, I was ready to max out my credit card. Here's how my night went....

-Barneys: Daphne Guiness was debuting her fragrance and looking incredibly chic. Simon Doonan was signing his book, and was able to get a picture with him.

-Calvin Klien: Francisco Costa, Cynthia Nixon, Bryan Adams, Sara Paxton, and Anthony Williams from Project Runway. I'm definitely not a name dropper, but this was probably the best party by far...totally relaxed and just fun

-Michael Kors: A total clusterf*ck, but when you love fashion you tend to start pushing people out of the way....Thank God for my no bullsh*t attitude I was able to meet Michael himself and snap a pic with him!

-Tod's: Donatella Arpaia was signing her book, by the time we arrived the party had died down

-Chanel: Lame....granted it was later in the night, but nothing was happening although there was some roped off thing in the back I guess for VIP....I love Chanel, but for FNO they can suck it.

What did you do to celebrate FNO? And by the way theres more pics to come!
