"I'll never forget when Anna Wintour called me to play at this event, she called me and said, 'I would like you to play at the Met gala, but I just want to make sure, because I've seen you perform before, that you won't be swearing during the performance'. So Anna, I will do my fucking best!"

-Lady GaGa to the 700 guests at the Met gala on how she got the gig.

Tonight is The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala aka the Oscars of the Fashion world. This year's theme is American Women: Fashioning a National Identity' is being hosted by the queen herself Ms.Anna Wintour, the queen of talk Oprah Winfrey, and Patrick Robinson head designer of The Gap. A perfect trio to represent the highs and lows of truly American fashion. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing lots of  designer collaborations with the Gap including Rodarte, Sophie Theallet, and Alexander Wang.

Last year's exhibit, titled 'The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion', was a fascinating adventure through 21st century designers and their relationship with supermodels. Can't wait to see what this year's curators have in store for us. 

Stay tuned for my favorites of the night!

For a long time I’ve held a secret…a fashion thought/preference that many would agree with but never utter in the devil’s kingdom. After this fashion season however, having felt great disappointment and a lack of fabulousness from our mother superior its time to be out with it.

Anna Dello Russo is my favorite Anna. There, phew, said it…

Starting to feel a lot better…

ADR, fashion director at large of Vogue Nippon is 1000 times more imaginative, more colorful, more friendly, and more adventurous that the reigning queen of vogue on this side of the world. She is luxury, she is decadence, and she has a clothing collection that would make every fashion lover weak in the knees.

The extravagant ADR recently talked to Jak & Jil about the things she loves. I thought it appropriate therefore to tell you about the things I love about ADR:

1. Her bold jewelry and accessories
2. Her ability to pull of evening wear at noon
3. Her enthusiasm, passion, and fearlessness
4. How she dresses as if she herself lives in a magazine editorial
5. How she has over 4000 pairs of shoes
6. How behind the glamour and extravagance she actually seems like a genuinely nice person 

If your like me, gaga about ADR, you must click here to see the day Tommy Ton got lucky.
