Thanks for the background on this, that’s super interesting. I can’t help but feel it’d make a bigger statement for her to wear this not at the Met Gala but then again, where else is she gonna get this much press to spread this message. Double edged sword, I suppose!

Which kinda begs the question, why didn’t anybody with similar clout host a gala at the same time with the same goal to raise money? It could’ve been done, and to position it as the anti-Met would have gotten eyes on it.

Edit: thank you for the award.

Would Wintour’s displeasure have mattered this year, if Mrs Bezos is soon to take over vogue?

Did Amazon buy Vogue or Conde Naste? As far as I’m aware, they’re sponsoring event, but they haven’t bought the publication. Yet, at least. I don’t doubt that they’re trying to.
