This week marks the first of three special episodes taking youInside the planning, prepping, and plotting behind the Met Gala. The show today alsoIncludes some reminiscing from me and Chioma about our favorite Met Gala hits and misses.I started working at Vogue on the last Tuesday of April 2011, also known as less than a week before the Met Gala, andIt was a real trial by fire. Chioma started at Vogue the year before, and we both recall our favorite fashion moments (Chioma’sInvolved a Barbie cake version of her 2017 Nile Cmylo/Lou Dallas confection, mineInvolved someIll advised feathers).
Suiting worked precisely becauseIt wasn’t the kind of feminine, hourglass accentuating attireI associated with the male gaze. Most of the time while at work as a model, that’s whatI wore and, apparently,It was obvious thatIt made me uncomfortable.

On the surfaceI wasInsulted, butI quietly hoped that a one on one with a coach might be able to dissolve my discomfort.In the end,I spent my entire session talking through the self consciousnessI was experiencing while modeling traditionally feminine fashion no exercises needed.
