The Silhouette of Fashion

The arrivals at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was in full glam mode Monday night. This year's theme honored "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" exhibition and high fashion was definitely in full force. The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion focuses on iconic models of the twentieth century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras. The exhibition, organized by historical period from 1947 to 1997, will feature haute couture and ready-to-wear masterworks accompanied by fashion photography and video footage of models who epitomized their epochs. Many celebrities opted for vintage inspired looks, as well as nude colors with hints of metallic, such as our favorite girl Sarah Jessica Parker.

We've compiled a list of our Top 5 looks and the consideration process was fairly simple, we looked for our Company's motto which is "sophisticated, classic, tasteful, elegant and timeless."  When determining our top choices, we decided that not only were the looks appropriate for red carpet - but for the white aisle as well.  An unconventional Bride on her special day could recreate any of these looks because she has a deep appreciation for eternal style, loves setting the tone and giving her guests something to chatter about.

Feast your eyes on the sheer glamour:
