A Night of Glamour and Grandeur at the Metropolitan Fashion Week Finale

The lights dim, anticipation fills the air, and the iconic Clock Tower at The Original Farmers Market Los Angeles stands tall, witnessing another night of unforgettable elegance. As fashion enthusiasts gather under the sky, Metropolitan Fashion Week’s 12th Annual Opening Night marks the beginning of a dazzling celebration of style, innovation, and artistry like no other.

Presented by Kendi Lux, this year’s showcase unfolds in a symphony of cinematic brilliance, where fashion meets the magical world of motion pictures. The stage is set to honor the power of fashion, with each creation deeply inspired by iconic movie and television soundtracks. It’s a night where music and fashion merge into living, breathing masterpieces, enchanting the audience with every step.

Designers Carl Andrada, Eruvey Tapia, Clydia Richardson, and guest designer Jersey Virago lead the charge, bringing their vision to life with a unique twist. Their breathtaking designs capture the essence of cinema’s most memorable scores, transforming fabric and style into a story of its own. The result is nothing short of mesmerizing—a harmonious blend of inspiration, talent, and bold innovation. As models glide down the runway, the audience is treated to a sensory journey, where every gown and ensemble speaks a language of pure artistry.

This year, the spotlight shines even brighter as Metropolitan Fashion Week honors the extraordinary talent of costume designer Inoe Vargas. With a decade of brilliance behind him, Vargas receives the prestigious “Designer of the Year” award, celebrating his contributions to the world of costume design. His work, revered for pushing creative boundaries, is a testament to his dedication, making him a true visionary in the world of fashion. The night would not be complete without this touching tribute to a designer who has transformed how we see fashion through the lens of film and television.

The Original Farmers Market, with its rich history and timeless charm, provides the perfect backdrop for this celebration of fashion and film. Its iconic setting creates an air of nostalgia and elegance, elevating the event to new heights of sophistication.

But this is only the beginning. The crescendo of the week will reach its peak at the Metropolitan Fashion Week Closing Gala, hosted at the legendary Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum. Here, fashion and history will collide in a majestic tribute to the artistry of costume and couture, where the world’s finest designs will be unveiled in an unforgettable night of grandeur.

Yet, Metropolitan Fashion Week is more than just a spectacle. Every ticket sold is a gateway to something bigger—a commitment to literacy. Through a partnership with the Kiwanis Literacy Club Foundation, five books will be donated to children in need for each ticket purchased. It’s a reminder that fashion has the power not only to inspire but also to transform lives. By opening doors to education, Metropolitan Fashion Week continues to give back, extending its legacy beyond the runway.

This year’s finale is a tribute to the artistry, passion, and community that makes Metropolitan Fashion Week truly iconic. It is a place where dreams are stitched into reality, where fashion is more than just fabric and design—it is a movement, a celebration, and a promise of what’s yet to come.

Aidan Beni

Posted on by

“I believes that everything is possible, and if you love what you do, you will be great at it”. From a fashion student to a fashion professor, to a fashion designer Aidan graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 2019. He is an artist and fashion designer who is inspired by many things around him as he designs and creates his vision. He has been inspired by fabrics, colors and even stories to begin a new design and bring it to life. Color choice is very important to him during the creative process as it usually reflects the idea and story behind the design itself. Going from sketching to fitting, fashioning fabric and adjusting a final look with small touches that only a designer’s eyes can grace to notice. His interests outside of fashion design include traveling, art, painting, drawing and music. Fashion has allowed Aidan to build and expand on his design thinking to let him not only find solutions in fashion but anything related to design and aesthetic.

” It changed my life to better understand why people wear what they wear, and how it changes over time.”
