I'm sorry, but I do not think that raising money for high fashion is in any way important given the current problems the world is facing. It's like asking for donations for fancy new curtains while your fucking house is on fire.
We do not need high fashion to survive. If every fashion designer dropped dead tomorrow, I promise you society would not crumble. We need healthcare. We need housing. We need our basic fucking needs met. Until that time, I will call events like this a collosal waste of time and money.
It’s not raising money “for high fashion”, it’s raising money for the art historians at the Metropolitan Museum.
It raises it exclusively for the Costume Institute at the Met, which the group that preserves historical clothing. I just... Fuck. Are you really serious? How the hell do you look at that amount of money, look at the people starving on the streets, and conclude that this is a worthwhile function. Thats just fucking insane.
Sorry, we can't afford to build new housing or addiction centers, but thank God we can continue to preserve an evening dress from the 1940's. That's truly what matters in society.
There are multiple people in the world. Everyone doesn't do the same thing at once, there can be many fundraisers at the same time, each with a different goal. It's crazy i know...
