Last night was the holy grail of red carpet fashion. The 2011 Met Ball honoring late and legendary designer Alexander McQueen brought out the best in, well, almost everyone. In this edition of Red Carpet Report Card, we’ll take a peek at the star-studded event and decide who was working, who was sleeping and who should have been turned away upon arrival.

Fashion’s Night Out has given me one more reason to highly anticipate its imminent arrival. Or rather two, in the form of these Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington rag dolls, by Brooklyn-based artist Andrew Yang.
Barney’s commissioned the dolls, which were hand sewn and painted over the course of two weeks and they will be auctioned off starting Aug. 31 through charitybuzz.com. All proceeds benefit The New York City Aids Fund.
Bravo.
Meanwhile, where’s the Andre Leon Talley doll? Yang says that Anna’s and Grace’s looks were both his “own take on their signature look.” I guess it would’ve taken too long and too much material to throw together a Chado Ralph Rucci mini-great coat and cerulean Gucci loafers.
But I still would have appreciated an attempt.

One of our favorite street photographers Scott Schuman, better known at the Sartorialist, has organized his own pop-up at Barneys! Full of lust-worthy items, Schuman displays his luxurious taste at the ‘SartoriaLUST,’ which includes pieces from Maison Martin Margiela, Dries Van Noten, APC, and Ralph Lauren, among others. Prices are high, but isn’t that the point of lust-worthy?

Natalia Brilli has resurrected a rock band from the dead!!! And they’re on tour…
The Parisian-based designer has taken her craft to a whole new level engulfing three rockers and their instruments in the finest lambskin. The entire installation took 500 hours to put together and required 70 skins to cover the entire set.
Currently, the band is in transit heading to Miami for Art Basel from the 2nd to the 10th of December to play at the store Alchemist. “After it’s headed to Barney’s in New York, Dusseldorf in January, Copenhagen Fashion Week in February at the store Paris Texas, Vienna in March at Park, Montreal in April at Reborn, Hong Kong in May at On Pedder and then onto Singapore and Sydney.” according to Dazed Digital.
Pieces from the band will be aailable in limited numbers and signed by Natalia Brilli herself. I officially have a covetable on my Chanukah list…
