You're not invited.


That's all I get from this documentary, it is so bad I don't think I will finish it and it really reeks of elitism.

I remember when someone asked Anna Wintour how she compared fashion now to let's say Studio 54, and she said it was so much better now when everyone is included as opposed to Studio 54 were people were left outside the velvet rope, but I think it's the total opposite. Fashion has never been more unwelcoming and irrelevant than today. Is it even fashion? When was the last time Vogue was about women and clothes as opposed to celebrities?

There is a certain relatable and inclusive quality that has been entirely lost, thanks to this woman and her obsession with celebrity. No one is invited to this party and the Met Gala is the epitome of that. It serves no purpose. The clothes are entirely irrelevant.

She disinvited Bieber this year. Says something about someone's obsession and sour grapes, and I don't think it's Anna's.

Are you saying I'm obsessed?? You aren't invited either so don't brag about what's not yours.

I agree. I go back and forth between admiring and respecting Anna, and just rolling my eyes. I feel she contradicts herself in a lot of ways. She and her partner scoffed at the Chinese journalist for "politicizing" fashion, while at the same time, she (Anna) is constantly trying to sell the idea that fashion is all about social commentary and not just aesthetic. So, which is it? If fashion is more than just about clothes and appearances, then you should be more aware of the social responsibility behind it, which is what the Chinese journalist was trying to bring up.

Exactly, and that china theme was full of racism to be honest.

The Gala raised over 12 million dollars for the Met, so it did achieve something.

I said it had no purpose other than to be elitist.

And to raise 12 million dollars for the Met.
