Met Gala: How Influential Is It To Social Conventions?
Earlier this week celebrities and public figures dressed to impress for Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual fundraiser for the Costume Institute exhibition and 2017 Met Gala. This years theme was Rei Kawakubo /Comme des Garcons, exploring art of the in-between. While there was a major focus on attire, how big of an impact does celebrity endorsed fashion events have upon designer fashion as an art form? The Daily was joined by Icaro Ibanez-Arricivita, Lecturer in Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland University of Technology to discuss these questions.
