"Organised by fashion world A-listers, since it was first staged in 1948 the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's annual fundraising party in New York has grown into one of the biggest fashion industry nights of the year. These days, it attracts some of the biggest names in Hollywood and raises upwards of $30 million annually, with tickets to the invite-only spectacle costing around $50,000 each."
"And by the look of it's star-studded organising committee, the event will be a real flashy affair. Featured among the 100+ committee members are celebrated designers including Miuccia Prada, Bella Freud, Philip Treacy and Giles Deacon, artists and writers like Zadie Smith, Grayson Perry and Hew Locke, fashion world elites such as Naomi Campbell and Edward Enninful, and A-list celebrities like Alexa Chung and Idris Elba."
The British Museum will host an annual British Museum Ball in London as a landmark fundraising gala timed to the closing weekend of the Ancient India: living traditions exhibition. The first edition is masterminded by director Dr Nicholas Cullinan and co-chaired by Isha Ambani. The event will adopt a pink theme inspired by 'the colours and light of India'. A 100+ member organising committee includes designers Miuccia Prada, Bella Freud, Philip Treacy and Giles Deacon; artists and writers Zadie Smith, Grayson Perry and Hew Locke; fashion figures Naomi Campbell and Edward Enninful; and celebrities such as Alexa Chung and Idris Elba. The sold-out programme includes a drinks reception and speeches in the Great Court, dinner amid iconic artefacts, and a silent auction throughout the evening.
