“Camp: Notes on Fashion” Exhibition Recap
After being dazzled by this year’s annual Met Gala red carpet, we just had to take a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” exhibition, which opened on May 9.

Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall takes you through a pink hallway and ushers you into the historical visual timeline of the word “camp.” The origin of camp includes the exclusive red soled heels of the aristocratic French court to garments inspired by campy author Oscar Wilde.
Michael's Consignment Hangs out with the NYC Dog Mom
Megan Rose is one of the co-founders of Gal’s Best Friend: a website focusing on the women who love the dogs in their lives. Founded by three best friends and dog moms who now live in different areas around the country, Megan is our local NYC dog mom and puppy guru! Megan is the go-to of all things dog related in New York City; her own three pups Pharell, Rosie, and Rumba follow her around like groupies. Megan has even been featured on The Dodo where she shared her rescue of Rumba while she was on vacation in the Dominican Republic. We dressed Megan up in a gorgeous pale blue Ralph Lauren dress paired with Robert Clergerie flats, and accessorized her pups in color coordinating Hermes scarves. These three rescue pups have come so far thanks to Megan; from homeless to Hermes!
Notes on Camp with No Repeats or Hesitations
Following the Met Gala theme from the first Monday in May, we here at Michael’s were of course inspired by the Notes on Camp theme. Once we came across Emily Polner and her blog No Repeats or Hesitations, it was a match made in Camp heaven.

Met Gala 2019 "Camp: Notes on Fashion" Red Carpet Recap
Feathers, sequins, and chandeliers - oh my! This year’s Met Gala red (or should I say pink?) carpet brought out Hollywood’s hottest and the fashion industry’s most elite. It was such a tease being a mere two blocks away from all the action happening at this year’s annual Met Gala hosted by the one and only Anna Wintour. This year’s extravagant theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion” which is inspired by an essay written by Susan Sontag in 1964. This broad theme entitles all to get as fun, creative, and as extra as possible when it comes to getting dressed. Think of Marie Antoinette’s crazy wigs and Moschino’s tv dinner cape from the spring 2019 runway collection. Today we’ll be sharing some of our favorite whimsical and outside-of-the-box looks from last night!
