The red-carpet for this will be AMAZING.
I don't know how this year will work, but usually a designer brings a date or two (a model, actress or socialite) and s/he dresses the date in their creations. My two cents is that most designers disregard the theme and end up dressing their muses in stuff from their latest collection and call it a day, or at best try to find something in their latest collection or archives that somewhat fits the theme. I find this boring and frustrating, especially considering that the CFDAs Awards and the Met Gala are scheduled are within a few weeks of each other. My biggest wish is that the designers take the theme to heart and for at least one of their muses, the designers custom design something that is McQueen inspired in the most savage and spectacular sense of the word.So everyone's gonna be wearing McQueen?
So what do you want, for the attendees to wear McQueen or not wear McQueen? Also, they have done designer themes before, in recent years they have done Paul Poiret and Chanel.^ Yes, you're right. But this is the case under normal circumstances, but when the entire ceremony is dedicated to McQueen what's the outcome? While it would be cool to see his outfits worn (and I can't wait to see his creations from older seasons) I don't want his work to be worn and forgotten.
I just hope they won't invite too many tacky celebs

SAMANTHA CAMERON and Anna Wintour gathered London's fashion press at the Ritz this morning - the site of Alexander McQueen's first post-graduate show - to unveil Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, the exhibition to be held at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute; which will be launched by this year's Met Ball on May 2.
"When I heard from Anna Wintour that the Costume Institute's major annual exhibition would explore the artistry of Alexander McQueen, I was thrilled by this recognition of British fashion," Cameron said. "I'm sure that the party on the second of May will be a very, very special night."
Thomas P Campbell, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute's curator, both spoke at length about McQueen's contribution to the fashion world - as well as his standing as an artist in his own right.
"McQueen's work fits easily in the discourse of art. He can be considered no less than a great artist," Campbell said, before thanking Anna Wintour for helping make the exhibition possible thanks to her "spirit and brilliance".
"We drew on the McQueen archive in London and are indebted to McQueen's so-workers and colleagues for their willingness to share their memories of him," Bolton said. "Especially Stella McCartney, whose friendship with McQueen makes her an ideal co-chair for the Costume Institute Ball, and Sarah Burton, who gave a valuable insight in to McQueen's design process over the past 14 years."
Stella McCartney and Sarah Burton joined Wintour, Cameron, Campbell and Bolton at this morning's launch, flanked by some of McQueen's most impressive creations. The exhibition will run from May 4 to July 31, 2011, and will features pieces from all of McQueen's collections - from Nihilism in 1994, to his posthumous Angels & Demons collection in 2010. The McQueen tartan, the Kate Moss hologram and cabinets of McQueen "curiosities" will be highlights of an exhibition whose scale aims to come close to the genius of the man himself.
