Shop Moda Operandi's Met Ball Capsule Collections

Moda Operandi’s exclusive punk collections for this year’s Met Ball and Costume Institute Exhibition. As you may already know, Moda Operandi is sponsoring the much-awaited Met Ball this year and many of the fashion world’s leading designers, Vivienne Westwood, Moschino, Givenchy, Charlotte Olympia, and Rodarte just to name a few, have designed punk-inspired collections to sell exclusively on Moda Operandi, in celebration of this years Costume Institute Exhibition, titled PUNK: CHAOS TO COUTURE.

The collection also includes one-of-a-kind customized clothing, plus rare vintage fashion and art objects that pay homage to punk, ranging from $100 to $13,000. I'd have to say that Givenchy's leather and lace long cape gets my vote for the best piece of the collection. I also loved Jennifer Behr's camellia beehive headband with floral veil.

In case you're planning to take a trip to New York, the PUNK: CHAOS TO COUTURE exhibition will be on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 9 – August 14, and it will focus on high fashion’s appropriation of punk’s avant-garde aesthetic.

Moda Operandi’s will also hold a Spotlight event in celebration of this year’s Costume Institute Benefit. The program, beginning May 7, will enable women to purchase select looks designed by Anthony Vacarello, Delpozo, Rodarte, and Wes Gordon, among others, and worn by celebrities to the event. The bold faced names wearing the designer gowns will be revealed when they walk the red carpet during arrivals.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
