The quasi punk features seen on the red carpet at yesterday’s Met Gala were nothing against the real punk inside the exhibition. Why didn’t Sarah Jessica Parker put one on of the above dresses for instance? (Perhaps that is more of a Carrie thing to do). Anyway, the exhibition opens on Thursday May 9 and is dividid into different themes, of both the cultural development of punk, following how it has been envisioned in couture. The latter is called Clothes for Heroes (the name origins from the marketing of clothing which Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren’s sold in London), and is told in four manifestations of DIY: Hardware, Bricolage, Graffiti and Agitprop, and Destroy.

DIY: Hardware focuses on how safety pins, zippers, spikes, studs, and chains are used in clothing, with featured designs from Riccardo Tisci and Gianni Versace. In DIY: Bricolage, designs from Gareth Pugh and Helmut Lang etc. show how objects are constructed in collages. DIY: Graffiti and Agitprop enhances brings up the use of paint and splatter (realised by Alexander McQueen during the S/S 1999 show, when splattering paint on a dress during a live performance), with clothing from Ann Demeulemeester and Viktor & Rolf. The last room DIY: Destroy, celebrates deconstruction and how it could be illustrating the reaction to economic crisis seen in designs from Maison Martin Margiela and Rodarte, among others.

Aside from the featured designs, the exhibition will include a recreation of Westwood and McLaren’s shop at 430 Kings Road in London as well as the bathroom (below) from the music venue CBGB in 1975.

Even if there wasn’t many of them, Jennifer Lawrence scored the most hilarious moment at yesterday’s Met Ball, when she photobombed Sarah Jessica Parker. Look at the faces of Marion Cottilard and Lena Dunham!

The Met gala is always a spectacular event from a fashion point of view. With the attendance by some of the best, dressed in their best, we had to pick the best of the best! Rooney Mara, Anne Hathaway, Sienna Miller, Gisele Bundchen and Cara Delevigne all rocked the punk: chaos to couture theme look very well. Most amusing on the red carpet was the guests that seem to have missed out on the whole punk thing (among them Anna Wintour of course).
