One of the biggest fashion events is here again "MET GALA" 2016

One of the highest and critically acclaimed fashion event is here again, if you do not know what the MET GALA is all about well here's a little info; The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit. Each year's event celebrates the theme of that year's Costume Institute exhibition, and the exhibition sets the tone for the formal dress of the night since guests are expected to choose their fashion to match the theme of the exhibit. Each year the event also has honorary celebrity event day chairpersons. its been happening since 1946 till present time.the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine Anna Wintour and a chair of the event oversees both the benefit committee and the guest list, with Vogue staffers helping assemble the list of invitees. According to Cathy Horyn of The New York Times, the gathering rivals the West Coast's Vanity Fair Oscar Party, which is said to have more "star power" but less fashion panache. In 2014, the individual tickets cost $25,000 for those outside the official guest list, after prices were raised $10,000 from the prior year to increase the exclusivity of the event. The annual guest list includes only 650–700 people.

The Muse Factory Resort 2016

 The Muse Factory Resort 2016 collection is largely inspired by the striking beauty of three dimensional prints—interestingly the predominant and unifying element across this collection—and hinged on two thematic place holders of youthful exuberance and boldness; the collection is filled with a kaleidoscope of warm summer hues in notably orange, pink and red with a calming blue in the mix. This collection is airy and feminine at its core with a few daring elements such as the off-shoulders, mid-riff cutouts, thigh high slits and blouses with distinctive asymmetry.
this collection portrays so much youth, authenticity of resort and feminism...bravo
