10 Fashion Feats and Fails at the Met Costume Institute Gala

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

The Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s annual Costume Institute Gala is tirelessly referred to as the Oscars of fashion and it certainly ranks as the industry’s glitziest and most glamorous night.  But unlike the Oscars red carpet, where actresses willfully play it safe for fear of a career-defining performance on the worst dressed list, at the Met Gala the balls are to the haute couture wall. This is Fashion with a capital effin’ F. Sometimes the results are truly stunning and other times they’re…how can I put this gently…god-awful. Let’s take a look back at the Met Gala’s greatest hits and misses.

Serving at the MC2 Model Management Party

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Last night Mac, FashionIndie’s leggy office manager Jessy and I stormed MC2 Model Management‘s party at the soon-to-be-open Catch in the Meatpacking District to celebrate iconic model booker Pink‘s birthday. Our beloved mixtape master DJ Chachi was shutting shit down on the turntables so when tennis pros Serena Williams and Andy Roddick asked us to dance, we proceeded to drop it like it was hot and set fire to the dancefloor.

QUEST: Who’s Going To Be The Best Dressed Player At The U.S. Open?

Edited by Corey Moran

This week marks the start of the U.S. Open tennis championships in New York City. With a regular cast of fashionable characters in the crowd, such as Anna Wintour, we want to know who you think the most fashionable ON the court? My vote is for Roger Federer due mostly to the fact that Nike hooks him up hard, but those Williams sisters usually bring something good as well.

White Hot Wimbledon

Edited by Hilary Price

Wimbledon 2008 was simply thrilling.  Although tennis was the main attraction, fashion stole the show. At the summer tournament, white is always the staple. Players abided and contributed to the preppy vibe by sporting cardigans, blazers and totes. 

Thankfully Wimbledon’s classy reputation worked symbiotically with new fierce fashion decisions. The world class Wimbledon players tested the conservative waters as they strutted onto the court with their controversial fun fashion choices. 

Unfortunately, some of the Wimbledon fashions were not winners  

Sheer shirts and tantalizing trenches were motifs seen throughout games. 

 Wimbledon’s classically cute fashions and players will never go out of style.
