The Met Gala Costume Inspiration

All eyes will be glued to the red carpet at the greatest fashion event of the year- The Met Gala – taking place on May 2.  The gala themes usually nod a historic designer, a time period or a design aesthetic. Over the years, we have witnessed splendorous spectacles revolving around the myriad creative and scientific expressions of wearability including art, architecture, sculpture, geometry, physics, and now, technology. The theme Manus x Machina : Fashion in an Age of Technology seems like the most fitting theme for the season where ultra-modern styles ruled the recent a/w16 runway shows, with tech fabrics and digital prints, from graphic patterns to 3-D printed manifestations were adapted by various designers across the world. We look at some of our picks from a/w16 outfits to get you in the mood for the ultimate fashion-off of the year.
