Met Gala Brawl

So I know we've been covering the Costume Institute Gala Ball all week and maybe you're thinking what else is there to report on? But, oh my goodness, is there ever more to report on.

First off, it was model-themed and ironically (or fittingly) there was a model brawl. Well, kind of. The story goes that Brooke Shields, in all her 80s model glory, was having a conversation with Kiefer Sutherland, who was clearly in an 80s state of mind, when Jack McCollough (half of the Proenza Schouler design team) walked up and interrupted the conversation. Although the details are sketchy, it's pretty clear that McCollough is probably the least intimidating person and Sutherland, Mr. Jack Bauer, could probably kill you in a bar fight. Anyway, long story short, Sutherland allegedly headbutted McCollough and broke his nose.

Now I don't want to get catty but where was Naomi Campbell during all this? If there was going to be model-involved violence, I was sure she was going to be involved. Oh well, beating up a 130 pound designer is by far more pathetic hitting your assistant with phone. Way to bring the class to so-called Oscars of fashion.

I'm sure Anna Wintour will be making some revisions to her invite list for next year.
