Anna Bans A Nude Vivienne Westwood From The Met’s ‘Punk’ Exhibit
Vivienne Westwood may be pretty much it when it comes to punk’s early influence on fashion, but when the Metropolitan Museum of Art opens its doors for the Costume Institute Gala on May 6, the designer won’t hold quite the place of honor that some may have hoped.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has just announced its 2013 exhibit, PUNK: Chaos to Couture. Quite a departure from its previous Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations exhibit, and we’re totally on board with this one.
Schiaparelli & Prada Face Off In The Met’s Impossible Conversations
After last year’s blockbuster Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit, the Costume Institute had a dilemma. How could it possibly top such a remarkable show? The answer, of course, is it couldn’t.
How Joe Zee Skipped The Epic Line At The McQueen Exhibit

Alexander McQueen At The Met: An Essential Exhibit, An Extraordinary Career
The Costume Institute‘s “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” exhibit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is insanely beautiful, intensely dramatic, and — most importantly — profoundly moving. Spanning from McQueen‘s Central Saint Martins graduation collection to his posthumous autumn/winter 2010-11 show, the exhibit celebrates an extraordinary and prolific career cut tragically short.
PHOTOS: The 8 Met Gala Looks That Blew Us Away
We sort of expected to be blown out of the water by the looks at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala last night. After all, the event is all about fashion, and last night’s, specifically, was about the creations of one of the greatest designers of our time, the late Alexander McQueen. McQueen’s designs were known for their grand scale, high drama, innovative use of materials and nods to time gone by. And the women who made the biggest impressions on the red carpet last night wore gowns that did the exact same things.
The Vogue Influence: Did Anna Wintour Pick Kate’s Wedding Dress?
At 6 a.m. eastern standard time this morning, Kate Middleton emerged from her car outside of Westminster Abbey in a custom white silk dress with lace sleeves and a handmade, eight-foot long train, and the international fashion industry breathed a collective sigh of relief. The dress was by designer Sarah Burton, the creative director of Alexander McQueen, a long rumored frontrunner and certainly a favorite for the role — but how much of Kate’s choice was actually left to chance?
Muammar Gaddafi Wants His Own Costume Exhibit At The Met
Horacio Silva has probably one of the most fascinating jobs in the fashion industry. As the fashion news and features director of T, The New York Times Style Magazine, Silva covers a lot of ground and writes about a wide range of stuff.

PHOTOS: The Met’s McQueen Exhibit Gets Previewed In London
Even posthumously, there’s nothing about Alexander McQueen that isn’t symbolic.

McQueen’s first post-graduate show was held in the same location.
Alexander McQueen Exhibit To Open At Next Year’s Met Gala!
Next summer’s Costume Institute exhibit at the Met will feature none other than Alexander McQueen. The exhibit, “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty,” will be on display from May 4 to July 31, and will showcase about 100 pieces that span his entire career — from his senior collection at Central Saint Martins (which Isabella Blow bought in its entirety) to his final collection shown just weeks after his death this February.
How Will Met Costume Gala Guests Wear Gap On The Red Carpet?
The theme for this year’s Met Costume Institute Gala is “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity” and, appropriately, Gap is the sponsor. Though unarguably one of America’s most quintessential brands, Gap is hardly known for its evening wear. So what will the attendees be wearing?
