2010 ::

The theme has been announced for the 2010 Costume Institute Gala at the Met, "American Woman : Fashioning a National Identity", revolving around 75- ish outfits based on "how the American woman initiated style revolutions that mirrored her social, political, and sexual emancipation" according to Fashionologie.

This year's gala will of course be hosted by Anna Wintour, with GAP's Patrick Robinson and Oprah Winfrey as co-hosts.

Recently appointed Vogue director of special events, Sylvanna Soto-Ward, will be heading up this event :: my ideal job. sigh.

Robinson and Wintour.
