MET Gala 2011: FFB’s Best Dressed Picks & Pictures From “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” Exhibit
The Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala is one of the most glamorous and glitzy fashion events of the year, maybe only second to the Oscars in terms of celebrity presence. This year’s Gala was meant to be a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen as well as an unveiling of the new exhibit, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.
Is it just me, or did it seem like this years attendees were playing it safe with their outfit choices compared to previous years? Not to say that anyone’s gowns looked boring or plain, but just safer for this type of event.
Here are Fashion For Breakfast’s favorites from the night. My top three favorites were Diane Kruger, Christina Ricci, and Kristen Stewart, who were yours?

Celebrity Style: Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Pre-Spring ’11
Forever the it girl of the 90s (and beyond), Chloe Sevigny has collaborated with Opening Ceremony yet again to create another collection inspired by the decade that continues to inspire her personal style. The collection is packed with 90s references including ditsy and paisley florals, grungy boots and platforms, cross body purses and bags, and other eye-catching colors and details. I love how everything could easily transition from day to night. The only gripe I have is that the price range is a bit steep. Maybe we can hope for a collaboration with H&M in the near future? Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony is available now on openingceremony.us

The Juice: Designers Against AIDS + H&M.
Jade Jagger and Katharine Hamnett have joined forces with the likes of the Scissor Sisters, Rihanna and Timbaland to create a new collection – Fashion Against AIDS – with H&M. All the artists involved have participated free of charge to design a range of T-shirts, tank tops and hoodies for the project, which was initiated by charitable organization Designers Against AIDS. The aim of the organization is to raise awareness of the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people. The pieces run the gamut from subtle patterns representing those affected to more overt means of getting the message across; a contribution from Hamnet – a T-shirt emblazoned with “Use a condom!” – is typically vocal.
“It’s a collection that’s rich in color, with considerable commitment going into every garment,” explains H&M’s head of design, Margareta van den Bosch. “The artists have created personal prints with a strong sense of style.” And with a top price of $19.99, there’s no excuse for not getting involved. H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS range will be available from February as part of its younger-end Divided label, with 25 per cent of the proceeds going to HIV/AIDS-prevention projects around the world.

Major Bite: January Magazine Covers Wrap-Up.
Okay, so I’ve been stalking the newsstands like a crazy ex impatiently waiting for the January magazine covers to drop! I must report that I’ve been pretty impressed with what I’ve seen as yet. My favorite cover so far has hands down been Victoria Beckham on the cover of ELLE. I was so ecstatic I almost knocked an old lady over just to grab my hands on this issue simply because Mrs. Beckham graced the main page. (Okay that didn’t really happen i kid, i kid! lol) I must say she killed it like it was nobody’s business on the inside editorial pics – serving up nothing but high fashion! Look for yourself. She should really consider becoming a model full-time especially after she murders those upcoming Marc Jacob Spring Ads! In for a close second, was Mrs.
Extra Bite…..
Is it just me or are the magazine covers from overseas normally 10x better than the ones here in the US? lol. I mean like seriously, the Harpers Bazaar Japan Cover with JLO is beyond fierce! Whew.
