In October Patently Apple posted a report titled "Jony Ive & Vogue's Anna Wintour will Co-Host the Met Museum's 2016 Fashion Exhibit on Fashion in an Age of Technology." We noted in the report that the museum's next show would debut in May 2016 titled "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology." Apple's Design Chief Jonathan Ive in collaboration with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and Met Museum Costume Institute Curator Andrew Bolton are designing the event. The event starts next week, in fact Monday, explaining why we haven't heard much from Ive in a while.

The Met Gala is the fundraiser for the Costume Institute, a department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Thanks to co-chair Anna Wintour (Vogue's EIC and Condé Nast's artistic director), it has scaled dramatically in recent years, from an industry event to the world's biggest party filled with the most famous celebrities and prominent fashion designers. You could always look back at photos of the 2015 Met Gala here.

This year's benefit — taking place Monday, May 2nd, is co-chaired by Taylor Swift. There is nobody who would make a better ring bearer: Swift is the face of both Apple Music and Vogue's March 2016 issue. Nothing is an accident.
