The Met Gala 2020

So due to the current situation The Met Gala 2020 will not be going ahead on the first Monday of May.  So I thought I would look at some of the fantastic outfits we have seen at the Met Gala in the past and what them theme was for the 2020 gala.

The Met Gala is a fundraiser for the Met Museum it raises money for the museum and all of its exhibitions.  I have been to this museum and it is sensational a must see and do if you ever go to New York.

The Met Gala 2020 theme is "About Time: Fashion Duration", and is partly inspired by Virginia Woolf and the theories of the French philosopher Henri Bergson.

The curator in charge of the Costume Institute of the Met- Andrew Bolton - spoke about the theme to The New York Times: " Fashion is indelibly connected to time.  It not only reflects and represents the spirit of the times, but it also changes and develops with the times".

The theme for the 2019 red carpet was "Camp: Notes on Fashion", inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay "Notes on 'Camp'".

In 2018, Catholicism ruled the celebrity runway thanks to the theme of "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.

To me the Met Gala is a celebration of fashion and how it is influenced by culture and society. 

See you next week stay safe.

Vlog! Isolation Quarantine and ootds!

Jewellery Trends 2020

Even though we are on a global lock-down right now does not mean that you cannot play about with fashion.  In-fact it is the perfect time to play dress up and see what treasures you have hiding away in your closets, wardrobes and jewellery boxes.

The trends we saw on the runway shows of all the fashion weeks for Spring Summer 2020 were colourful jewellery, the single earring, oversized chains, pearls and big hoops.  I am sure that you will have at least one of these trends sitting in your jewellery box. The single earring for sure!

Here are a few of my favourite looks with these trends.

Forget sticking to gold and silver, designers brought on an explosion of colour for Spring 2020's jewellery. There were bright floral and beaded pieces, gemstones at Brandon Maxwell, and mismatched colours at Marc Jacobs. Channelling our inner kids, the look is all about having fun with your accessories. And this look is so much fun!!

Pearls are going strong for Spring 2020. The classic material made appearances in just about every form—from single drop earrings to layered necklaces and even on headpieces.
