COSTUME INSTITUTE at THE MET:MODEL AS MUSE

With so many supermodels of the past making comebacks, it makes perfect sense that this year's Costume at the Met will focus on the exhibition of The Model as Muse:Embodying Fashion. Anna Wintour along with the Institute's Harold Koda, the Met's Thomas P. Campbell and co-chair Marc Jacobs came together to discuss the details. Marc said Yves Saint Laurent said it best, "A good model can advance fashion ten years." For Marc Jacobs that model was Kate Moss. She was the face that catapulted his 1992 grunge collection at Perry Ellis. This is another sign of the return of the supermodels. Maybe the supermodels will be the superheroes that can save the fashion world from this insane economy.
