Red Carpet Fashion: Met Gala 2013 (Part 1)

Tonight was my absolute favorite event of the year [that I don’t attend because it’s $25,000 a ticket and I’m not famous] — the Met Gala. Saying it’s the Oscars is fashion is an understatement. When you’re typically used to seeing strapless sparkly gowns on the red carpet (#boring), this event has anything but. This year was especially exciting with the whole punk theme (which we already discussed last week) so I decided to do my red carpet posts a little differently this time. Be looking out for part 2 coming soon, as well as a “best punk,” “almost punk,” and “not so punk” posts. Getting a little ambitious with 5 posts but I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them. If not, please lie in the comments section.

So I hope you’re ready for some serious red carpet commentary, because here it goes.

Burberry Chicago Opening Party

As I mentioned last week, there was a huge event celebrating the new Burberry Chicago store on Thursday. I think it’s safe to say it was THE party of the year. It’s no surprise Skoog Productions was behind all of this, and Melissa Skoog was just named one of Crain’s 40 Under 40 (congrats Melissa!)

Whether or not you’re a Nova Check fan, anyone who appreciates fashion, architecture, technology and/or art will love Burberry’s new Michigan Avenue space.
