Idris Elba To Co-Chair 2016 Met Gala “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”

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.

idris-elba-45th-naacp-image-awards

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.

Karl Lagerfeld stuck to classic hues of black and white at the Fondation Louis Vuitton Opening at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Boulogne-Billancourt, France

Stay tuned for more info! The big event goes down on May 2nd.

Anna Wintour is loyal to Chanel and she slipped on a rosette-embroidered confection from the iconic French fashion house’s Couture offerings.

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!
