The Met Ball is tonight, and in addition to the excitement of who's wearing (and bringing) who there's the event's theme, "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," which explores the industry's perception of beauty and the power that models have in influencing the fashion of their generation. This year's event is chaired by Marc Jacobs, and co-chaired by Kate Moss, Justin Timberlake, and Anna Wintour, and the models and icons featured in the exhibit include Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Shalom Harlow, Kate Moss, Amber Valletta, and Iman, among others. You can see the exhibit for yourself at the Met's Tisch Galleries between May 6th and May 9th. And now for the gossip-- Karl Lagerfeld: not attending! Kate will wear Marc! Coco is *gasp* not going with Zac Posen! It's going to rain! Naomi Campbell might not show! Oh my... I must stop reading Page 6. For updates go to Modelinia!
Influential International Style: Kate Moss

It's no coincidence that Kate Moss is always 2-3 months ahead of the curve. She sets the curve, and designers scramble to put clothes on the market that mimic her eclectic, always surprising style. Moss seems to live by only one key rule of fashion, which is to wear beautiful clothes authentically. She seems to effortlessly throw together outfits that you never think would work. Whether it's layering neutrals over grey skinny jeans and red booties (months before anyone is even wearing black ones!), sporting heavily layered jewelry, or throwing a blazer over anything, Moss keeps visual interest without seeming over-dressed. She always seems comfortable, her clothes look tailored to fit her body, and you most often see her wearing flats. Her lesson to be learned is wear what makes you feel comfortable. Fun fact: Moss is only 5'7", and though very slight, her style can be mixed and matched to flatter many body types! Check out my slideshow for ways to adopt Kate Moss's eclectic style!
