Fashion Parade, Part I

Tom Brady and Gisele in MCQueen

What better way to get inspired than from a red carpet parade of the fashion-world's stylesetters.  The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute opening night gala was just that...  A bevy of the best dressed. The exhibit is a retrospective on Alexander McQueen, called "Savage Beauty" so, the dress code was clearly high drama. And the spectacle did not disappoint.
