MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Officially called the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, the annual Met Gala has been given many names – “the Super Bowl of fashion events,” “the Oscars of the East Coast,” and more. Monday evening’s (May 2, Tuesday in Manila) star-studded and highly exclusive affair indeed brimmed with all the glitz and glamor.
The so-called “party of the year” is a fundraiser that signals the opening for the museum’s fashion exhibit, but it has also been known to be one of the fashion industry’s biggest events. Anna Wintour, the incumbent editor-in-chief of American Vogue and the artistic director of its publisher, Condé Nast, sits as the gala’s chairman.
This year, the exhibit is dubbed Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. Wintour, Jonathan Ive (chief design officer of Apple), Idris Elba, and Taylor Swift host this year’s gala.
