And a strong theme this year: Fashion is Art.</p> <p>Janet--I love C. Siriano, especially because he makes affordable lines, as well. I have a pair of Payless heels by him that are still going strong, years later.</p> <p>Staysfit--I'm sure this has been an issue for years that has been neglected. I have seen adaptable fashion, but more at like, the Macy's level, not high fashion. And it seems that Burke is ushering in more high fashion looks.</p> <p>Roberta--I did not see that interview, but maybe I will. When you say "educating photographers," I am guessing she meant they should crouch and shoot at her level, rather than point the camera down. Her organization, Tilting the Lens, seems to be a clever reference to that.</p> <p>I remember learning years ago, when I studied special education, that you should crouch or sit in a chair when having a conversation with someone in a wheelchair. Because otherwise it is a strain on their necks all day!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412723 Mon, 11 May 2026 17:39:29 +0000 MsMaven 2412723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting these wonderful photos. Both of these women look gorgeous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412721 Mon, 11 May 2026 17:29:57 +0000 Roberta 2412721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sinead Burke had a really interesting interview that night on what the Gala and fashion have done (and not done) for the disabled. I mean, those stairs LOOK great, but half of the women can barely make it up them. But many lines are showing models with disabilities occasionally. You could also see her politely educating the photographers on how to shoot a small person or someone in a wheelchair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412706 Mon, 11 May 2026 11:36:15 +0000 Staysfit 2412706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to catch up as I haven’t seen the Met Gala pictures yet…. &nbsp;Now I’m primed to pay closer attention. My mother has been disabled/handicapped since she had polio as an 6 year old. I have always wished there were better options for her. Things that are mindlessly simple for me like hooking a bra, pulling a shirt over my head, pulling up snug jeans or leggings, buttons, zippers, shoe laces, etc. create much difficulty for her to the point that she often cannot find fashionable clothing she can manage. Fashionable shoes that can accommodate an ankle brace are incredibly difficult if not impossible to find and fit. &nbsp; I hope these issues are included in what these women are discussing. Inclusivity in fashion is often about weight or size which are important issues, but in my experience, stylish options for people like my mom have been extremely limited. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412703 Mon, 11 May 2026 04:28:53 +0000 Debbie 2412703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these ladies outfits and the fact that they are discussing disability inclusion in fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412700 Mon, 11 May 2026 00:25:32 +0000 Janet 2412700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had seen these photos too, and agree that it’s good to see. I love that Christian Siriano dresses people of all shapes and sizes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412697 Sun, 10 May 2026 20:32:58 +0000 Suz 2412697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent points and high time that fashion began to pay more attention to these issues, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412684 Sun, 10 May 2026 15:47:54 +0000 Bonnie 2412684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing. I didn't watch the Gala but have seen some photos in the news. I didn't see these photos but am glad you posted them, your comments are right on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412683 Sun, 10 May 2026 15:24:57 +0000 Angie 2412683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Carla said! <b>Carol</b>, I loved both looks too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412671 Sun, 10 May 2026 03:40:22 +0000 Carla 2412671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree. &nbsp;I noticed both of them and thought they ‘represented’ in high style. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-gala-snapshot#post-2412664 Sun, 10 May 2026 00:34:11 +0000 Carol 2412664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out doing family travel, but now back for a while.</p> <p>I am slowly catching up on the Met Gala from a few days ago--a fantastic event that is fun if you know nothing about it, but abundantly rewarding when you know more, because of themes, histories, design...and the minds and faces who participate.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is a still from the Vogue video I found striking--on the left is disability advocate and fashion expert Sinead Burke, and on the right is Ashley Graham, world-famous plus-size model. They are discussing advances in inclusivity for people with physical disabilities in high fashion, some advocated for by Burke. It's something I had not considered, focusing on the obvious, like architecture/building accessibility.</p> <p>Actually, what I like is their dresses--very classical and elegant against this sort of pastoral, Grecian background. (Is that wisteria painted on the wall?) Graham wears that gauzy nude drape like a goddess. And Burke is in Christian Siriano--one of my favorites. Evident in some shots is the shoulder plates--black, beak-like sequins arranged to look like armor. Reminding me of warriors, or the opera.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I can't find a good shot of these shoulder plates. Sometimes photographers drop the ball.)&nbsp; </p>
