This is a busy week at FIT, because classes are finishing up and students are turning in the semester’s final research projects. But it’s also the runup to NYC’s biggest fashion event, the Costume Institute Gala. The event is next Monday evening, May 7. As in past years, I’ll write about the red carpet for the gala sometime next week. I’ve included my Red Carpet Bingo card below so you can play along, too.
Just to give you a taste, I’ve included a few recent articles that offer some tantalizing peeks at the objects for the show will be.
