This year’s punk-themed Met Gala has come and gone and a million posts on who wore what have already made the rounds. So instead of seeing the best and worst dressed from this year’s gala, check out some of the goofy things that were said on the red carpet.
Virgin Airlines is at it again with a new designer collaboration for the airlines’ flight attendant uniforms. First Banana Republic and now Vivienne Westwood. Get a peek of her eco-friendly, tailored designs launching in 2014.
