The 2016 Met Gala theme has been announced!”Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” is the subject matter for the forthcoming exhibition, aimed at showcasing the separation between handcrafted haute couture and factory-made designs. Serving as co-chair is none other than Idris Elba who will share the distinction with Sir Jonathan Paul Ive, KBE: a British designer and the Chief Design Officer of Apple Inc.
Of the theme, Costume Institute curator, Andrew Bolton stated, “Traditionally, the distinction between the haute couture and prêt-à-porter was based on the handmade and the machine-made”. He continued, “But recently this distinction has become increasingly blurred as both disciplines have embraced the practices and techniques of the other.”
On display will be more than 100 haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces—sometimes juxtaposed against one another for startling effect. Honorary co-chairs include Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld, Nicolas Ghesquière, Miuccia Prada, and Taylor Swift. Apple is continuing their foray into the fashion industry by sponsoring the gala and exhibition.
Stay tuned for more info! The big event goes down on May 2nd.

So I decided to kick off this week in earnest with a fun Shoe Closet feature! It was hard coming up with an idea of who to feature next. We’ve spotlighted many of the greatest in the shoe game, from Marjorie Harvey and Solange Knowles to Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez!
Ciara’s been working her endorsement deals for Topshop and Ralph Lauren, and looking wonderful doing so. So I thought: she’s got next!
Perhaps Ciara has flown under our radar up until this point because her shoe err on the side of simplicity. Not one for flash, you’ll catch her in Stuart Weitzman Nudists, Casadei Blade Pumps, or thigh high boots from Topshop to Givenchy to Christian Louboutin.
When she does add flare, it’s with fringe and feathers. Her most noteworthy heels this season include the Alexandre Vauthier heels she wore to the MTV Video Music Awards and her fringed Polo Ralph Lauren boots.
Ciara is a Tomboy at heart, so you’ll certainly see her in utilitarian boots or sneakers for casual excursions.
Cute!

How about a little shoe lust to kick off your Tuesday morning?
Today’s Bomb Product comes courtesy of DSquared2, who has been killing the shoe game lately. Their whole Fall 2015 collection is pretty sick, but these $1,405 options are one of my faves.
The heels feature an open toe, a lace-up front fastening, metallic hardware, a back zip fastening, and a branded insole.
Wear them with a white top and jeans or with a tonal look to make them pop.
Splurge a little more on the $1,855 fox fur version if you want to wear them into the colder month.
As a matter of fact, all of DSquared2’s Fall 2015 Mongolian inspired shoes are bomb.
