This year's Met Ball focused around Italian design legends Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. Titled : "Schiaparelli and Prada : Impossible Conversations" in which there are simulated interviews between the two women about fashion, technique, & art/design.
First timers debuting with very important dates such as Lana Del Rey with Joseph Altuzarra, Lena Dunham with Hamish Bowles (who even picked out her shoes for the event), and Azealia Banks with Alexander Wang were among some of the most interesting in attendance last night. Dark, statement colors, Avant Garde, short, odd, classic, and futuristic were only some of the themes some of the guests displayed with their wearable art to one of the most important events of the year for Fashion and Art.

Kanye West has never been a favorite of mine mostly because he seems to poke his head in all aspects from fashion, art, and music and also seems to embarrass himself at the same time. He recently tweeted (possibly kidding), about his "fashion dislikes"... nonetheless I decided to try and show how obnoxious and contradictory he is.
Here goes...
"I hate khaki trench coats with jeans" (*Yes, this is a camel/fur lined yet still khaki colored.)
"I hate hoodies with sport coats." (*Not a sport coat, but I'm pretty sure he supported the "hoodie under anything" look when it started in 2005.)
I hate big ass striped scarves. (*Yes, it's Louis Vuitton, but still a contradiction.)
