Hmmm There’s Something Oddly Familiar About This Year’s Met Gala Theme…

As all good red-blooded Americans know, fashion was invented in the United States. Suits? American. Period dresses? Thank you, United States. Togas? Presumably from Rome, Georgia.

This year’s theme, announced on the third Monday in April, is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” which is being simplified as gilded glamour, white-tie. Maybe we wouldn’t be scratching our heads if last year’s theme wasn’t, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” Read more at Esquire.
