On May 5, 2014 the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted it's annual Charles James: Beyond Fashion Gala were many celebrities attended of course, but amongst those celebrities was another special event being celebrated. Anna Wintour, editor in chief if Vogue magazine, was one of the main sponsors of this event and helped open the Anna Wintour Costume Center. Bradley Cooper, Oscar de la Renta, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch were co-chairs of this new exhibit. 

Of course with all the press release on the opening of a new exhibit for the Costume Institute, the fashion is always a major tool in attracting attention. 

Some of the looks were:

On Saturday April 12, 2014, during a joint after party at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Alexander Wang announced his upcoming collaboration with H&M scheduled to hit stores and online November 6, 2014.  His collections is said to have women and men apparel clothing and accessories.  He is also the first American designer to ever collaborate with the fast fashion Swedish retailer.  M personal opinion is that the new collaboration will be a great success because not only is Alexander Wang very talented in all aspects of his talent but he creates a collection that is universal.  For students, like myself, or for others who don't have the disposable income to afford his luxury line, we'll all finally have a chance to purchase something he has had a part in creating.  Matching is aesthetics and knowing that no matter what we find in the new collection it'll be tailored to everyone and anyone.  I honestly can't wait, November 6th can't come any sooner!!
