Models' Boycott

Seven models were to wear outfits by Azzedine Alaïa to the MET to celebrate the opening of the “Model as Muse” exhibit, but Alaïa has asked them not to wear the dresses because the his work is not in the exhibition. Dresses were made for Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Veronica Webb, Farida Khelfa and Tatjana Patitz and none of them - except Tatjana - decided not to attend the party. Tatjana Patitz showed up in Carolina Herrera instead (above.)
