When my May issue of Vogue came in the mail this month I was really psyched by the cover article "The Real Lives of Models". I am fascinated by all the changes that have gone on in the modeling industry because now a days it seems that the big Hollywood actresses are appearing in much of the advertising. Hollywood sells fashion now, not models. Whether it be Jennifer Aniston in a Smart Water add or Scarlett Johansson posing for Dolce &Gabbana. Models don't even pose at the end of the runway anymore. Why? So as I read the article and came to find out about the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute exploring the role of models as muses, I was really interested. When I think of models as muses I think of Twiggy. I think of Naomi, Iman, Gia. Kate Moss. Dude Kate Moss! So anyway, I was psyched to check out the news today of last nights benefit for the exhibition and ..... Whoa. What? Huh? Wait. Ummmmmm.
Anna Wintour had said the theme of this party was super heroes. Great idea! So what the fuck happened here?
This is an exhibition made possible by Marc Jacobs. This is Madonna wearing a Louis Vuitton dress probably designed by Marc Jacobs. My heart is BREAKING. It's aweful.....maybe if she took that thing off her head ditched the hooker boots and wore some flats.
Watching the slide show of the red carpet was like getting slapped in the face over and over and over again. Really?
And here is my boyfriend Marc Jacobs looking cute as ever with a scary looking Kate Moss. Although she is definitely bangin' in that dress, girl looks tired.
Rarely, if ever, am I disappointed by anything involving Marc Jacobs. So I hope the exhibition is more inspiring than the party was.
Two words: Pauline Trigere.
