Back in "ordinary" times, the first Monday of May was a red-letter day for anyone interested in fashion.
That day is better known as "The MET Gala," and it's the day when the uber-fashionable set would all descend on The MET Museum, dressed in their most elaborate garb based on the year's theme, and celebrate fashion and art. It was also a fund-raising activity for the museum, and they would raise millions of dollars every year, thanks to this event.
This year, of course, is an extraordinary time. So, The MET Gala was put on hold because there are more pressing issues facing our world today.
But that didn't stop Vogue's EIC and The MET Gala's fashionable organizer - Anna Wintour - from keeping the philanthropic event from doing its sworn duty. That is, to raise money for the museum, and for all the people behind fashion who are now in danger due to this pandemic.
Amazing what she can do given the circumstances. There are expectations, and thanks to her, these expectations were MET. (Sorry, couldn't help myself. Harhar.)
She's proof that you can't put a worthy and fashionable cause down.
