Cocktails, Couture and Christianity: A Weekend in the City
Edited by Lester Brathwaite
On Saturday, armed with our umbrellas and a sense of purpose, my best gal pals (read: gays) and I swam through the damp and a sea of mimosas to two of Manhattan’s best, fashioncentric exhibits: the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute‘s Balenciaga: Spanish Master and the opening of the Gagosian Gallery‘s Francesco Vezzoli: Sacrilegio.



British soul singer Adele play her part and snagged the Grammy award for best new artist. So, how did Anna Wintour do styling her? Adele walked the red carpet in a custom made Barbara Tfank flared dress and a satin green jacket with tuxedoed Hamish Bowles. Wait…are we sure Wintour styled with Adele in mind or her own personal fashion taste? This looks exactly like something Wintour would wear! Either way, I think the whole look is a bit matronly. The jacket isn’t exactly flattering and the black/green color combo makes me wonder why Adele is on the red carpet and not the Broadway stage of Wicked. Well Wintour, you tried…and failed. Moral of the story: never try.
