Met Gala 2017 Inspired by Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons. If yall don't know what that is ... just keep reading. So I know I haven't been as active on the blog as usual. You can "casshh me on youtube.. HOW BOU DAT?" Youtube is where I've been spending most of my time these days (insert known classic song here- you know what I'm talkin bout!). Terribly sorry that I'm not really sorry. I had to come back out of my video life and give yall some highlights of The Met Gala that was sadly not hosted by Beyoncé. Nor was she in attendance because... twins. Duh. The theme of last nights (Gala on a Monday? Party hard I guess.) Met Gala was inspired by Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons. Yea, I didn't know what that meant either. In order to understand "Comme des Garçons" one must understand the creator, Rei Kawakubo. We must also discover her collection before we can get to the pretty pictures.... "Ms. Kawakubo’s designs are outrageous, radical and beautiful, united in their variety by the wild extremity of her commitment to creating newness at every outing. They can be coquettish, as the furred and feathered masses (from the collection she called “Blue Witch,” spring 2016), or cartoonish, like paper-doll dresses in crayon-colored felt (“2 Dimensions,” fall 2012)." - MATTHEW SCHNEIER Ms. Kawajubo refuses to call herself an artist. "If not an artist, then a punk. “Punk is very important,” she said. “The spirit of punk is being against the establishment. That’s how you can start from zero to make something new — you don’t accept the existing order of things.” Now that you have the background, let's see which stars came out to play and which played it safe. *NOTE: There will be some on the Hits list that I did not like, however, because of the theme, they nailed it and made it to the list. HITS: In order from favorite to least favorite but they all came themed up! Snoozers: In order from least boring/dressed to worst dressed. These ppl just did not make it for me and honestly- I think they played it safe when it came to the theme of the night. Plus 1. Jaden Smith is carrying his old dreads. GROSS. and 2. Wtf is Solange Knowles even wearing? Once again, the Met Gala has come and gone but the pictures will remain forever. Not to get to melodramatic on yall there....
Shoot me some opinions on who you liked or who you thought should have made it to a list! See you next time, Xoxo, Nat
