Monday Night Metball

So everyone by now knows of the gala organized by fashion chancellor Anna Wintour on Monday night. The event 'Models as Muse' was in celebration of women's fashion throughout the century, from post-World War 2 to 1992 and beyond and literally everyone was there! Even the Pirate of Soho! Wow, she get's around!
There were a handful of supermodels who were not into the event in reaction to Azzedine Alaia not being included in the exhibit. Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymore, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista were not in attendance due to Alaia drama! Since these girls are basically joined to Azzedine at the hip 24/7, when the designer was not chosen to be featured along with his peers, they were all too happy to revoke the invitation.
However, the night was indeed full of fashion suprises thanks to Justin Timberlake who apparently thought he was Marc Jacobs, Rihanna who raided Grace Jones' closet right before the event, and Madonna who obviously has lost her mind completely. While the celebs farted down the runway, the supermodels shone in glamorous couture, including Jessica Stam, notorious Lola-lover in her little metallic Rodarte minidress. I think the true standout star was Shalom Harlow who completely captured the 'Models as Muse' vibe in her overflowing black icing-cloud gown. 
The exhibit is on display until August 9th so stop by and enjoy fashion history as it unfolded through the inspirations of "women" (meaning models - which does in fact not mean "women"). Just refrain from throwing a gallon of red paint on the Versace exhibit in the name of Alaia (I'm talking to you, Campbell)!
