Punk: Chaos to Couture. MET GALA 2013



Ok. *Breathe*.... Everything...so....beautiful.....



The 2013 Met Gala has been such an incredible moment not just for fashion and its designers, but for all of us spectators, being able to watch on in astonishment. The Met Gala has to be one of my absolute favourite events of the year because of the style that it continues to portray through fashion and people. 

 The theme of "Punk" was executed in such a breathe taking way with so many taking an edgier approach to such a glamorous event. 
As Riccardo Tisci(Met ball chair) put it, punk "is not so much about the look, it's about the personality."

Givenchy has to be one of my most favourite's for the night with a pantless Madonna, to a rose printed punk inspired Kim Kardashian. Givenchy had it going on with so many stars choosing to bare both custom made and Haute Couture Givenchy. 

Here are some of my favourite looks over all, I am struggling to narrow it down

ELLERY Resort 2013 Campaign

Seriously digging the Ellery Campaign for her Resort 2013 Collection featuring the lovely, Phoebe Tonkin. 

I love the simpleness of it and also I'm a huge fan of editing in that way. I feel like the images are simple yet concise, bold yet straight forward and intriguing but not over bearing.

I also love the use of black and white combined with coloured landscapes used in the different layers. It has a really beautiful and dramatic effect and it really assists the concepts of the shoot.

Killing it.
