Hi, this is Imran Amed, Founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion.
Welcome to the BoF Podcast. It’s Friday May 10th.
The first Monday in May has become synonymous with the Met Gala. Every year, celebrities and brands come together on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s theme was The Garden of Time and attendees went to enormous efforts to try to catch the spotlight amid one of the busiest red carpet moments of the year, orchestrated by Anna Wintour, global chief content officer of Conde Nast and editor-in-chief of American Vogue.
[00:11:44] the amount of social media impressions it generates, you know, is beyond compare. The guest list that she curates, because it is an entirely curated guest list, is like nothing else. It's effectively a business, right? It's really not a fundraiser. It's a business. And it's a pretty successful business.
This week on The BoF Podcast,I'm joined by New York Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman who shares her journey into fashion journalism, reflects on what this year’s Met Gala says about the state of fashion and culture and of course, dissects the standout looks, of the night.
Here’s Vanessa Friedman, on The BoF Podcast.
