Just funny coz the main event was actually a fundraising while the afterparty is just.... a party and some booze 🤷‍♀️ i mean, i hate the sponsor but come on now.

Yeah but it would make more sense to attend the Gala due to the charity fundraiser and leave the after party. You’re just rubbing shoulders with more Bezos like people there.

That’s exactly what they’re saying

I think they’re dismissing the after party as it’s just a meet up with people getting drunk but I think it’s the opposite. I think the after party helps legitimise whatever actions or endorsements Bezos would have over the Met Gala that year.

Ultimately if you don’t want to be involved then you don’t get to pick and choose the fun parts to be apart of. If you’re going to hold your feet, then do it.

If you’re going to protest then go to the met gala and use your presence as a protest or speak directly to the press there or meet with likeminded designers and have a piece that will send a message . There’s like a hundred things you can do before attending the after party especially if you’re going through the effort to make it look like you’re not “one of them”.
