Best Dressed: 2014 Met Gala Edition | Cara Delevingne, Olivia Munn, & More

Last night was the night for those in the fashion industry to get their own red carpet to walk down and for once all eyes are on them to see who is best dressed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, in celebration of Charles James, the American couturier whose work will be on display as part of the  exhibit, Charles James: Beyond Fashion, at the newly renovated Anna Wintour Costume Center.

There comes a certain precedence with the gala each year and although last year's very successful PUNK: Chaos to Couture theme allowed the fashion elite to have fun in couture costumes, this year we were able to see more of an individual expression with each fashion icon and star. How one picks a best dressed at such an event is a bit overwhelming however these are my choices for the best dressed last night.

The Top 5 Fashion Marketing Campaigns of 2012: #4

Next on my list of the Top Five Fashion Marketing Campaigns of 2012...

Number 4: DvF [through Glass] 

"When I was a young girl I did not know what I wanted to do, except that I knew the woman I wanted to be." - DvF

Before the video was posted on Google's YouTube account the world watched as models walked down the runway with very peculiar looking spectacles, the Google glasses.  Weird or not, she caught our attention. Especially when DvF herself and the Google boys made an appearance at the end of the show in the glasses.

Narrated by Diane, the video begins with the rhythmic beats of Rebecca & Fiona's haunting hit "Dance" and immediately we are transported into a day in the life of one of the most influential American designers during the chaos that is known as Fashion Week as she gets ready for her Spring 2013 show.

The Video:


Why it made the list: In terms of mixing technology and fashion, DvF did it organically: she planted a seed on the runway which peeked our interest and once the video hit YouTube, you had to watch it. The DvF team is constantly modernizing the brand in subtle ways while staying true to her mission: she will always design for the strong independent woman, the woman she has always desired to be and has inevitably become.

Who's next on the list? You'll just have to wait and see!
