The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses a collection of more than thirty-five thousand costumes and accessories spanning five continents and as many centuries. Each May, the annual Gala Benefit, its primary fund-raising event, celebrates the opening of the spring exhibition. Under the leadership of Honorary Trustee Anna Wintour (Editor-in-Chief of Vogue), who has been the co-chair since 1995, the gala has become one of the most visible and successful charity events, drawing a stellar list of attendees from the fashion, film, society, business, and music industries. The brainchild of publicity doyenne Eleanor Lambert, the benefit was introduced in 1948 as a midnight supper and dubbed "The Party of the Year." Co-chairs in the past have included Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1977-1978), Nicole Kidman (2003, 2005), and Oprah Winfrey (2010). - Vogue.comMr. McQueen must've been beaming from 'up there'! x.
