Yesterday was - for all those who celebrate - Met Monday - as the fashion industry’s elite descended on the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for the charity fundraiser tied to the opening of The Costume Institute’s headline fashion exhibition which is this year titled Superfine: Tailoring Black Style based on Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
As ever, there was much to discuss, not just in terms of who turned up and what they wore, but also who didn’t; Blake Lively, Naomi Campbell and Justin Bieber were all notable by their absence.
