This coming year's theme for the Gala of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the Model as Muse.

As Harold Koda, curator of the Costume Institute, explained: "We look at the power of clothing, fashion
photography and the model to project the look of an era. With a mere gesture, or
the line of her body, a truly stellar model can sum up the attitude of her time,
creating an alluring synergy between herself and the clothing to communicate a
designer’s message to the wider world."

Today's Ultimate Super Model -Giselle BundchenI just don't know what it is...the clothes, the photographers or the new crop of super models, Giselle Bundchen, Amber Valleta, Kate Moss and Nadja Auermanm...fashion photography just doesn't seem to have the same impact as it did a half a century ago.
