The co-chairs of the Met Gala Spring 2010 are Oprah Winfrey and Patrick Robinson of the Gap.  The Costume Institue’s next exhibit will be “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity”.  Okay, the topic is a little heavier than the last exhibit, “Model as Muse”, but I’m sure it will just as fashionable.  Some of the pieces for the exhibit will come from the Brooklyn Museum Costume Collection, as well as pieces designed by Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli, Madeleine Voinnet, just to name a few.  The collection will be on display at the Costume Institute from May 5th through August 15th.  I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to viewing this exhibit.
