Hi everyone. Yesterday we experienced some backlash, and quite frankly harassment, for posting our favorite outfits from the Met Gala.

It is not unbeknownst to us that there are horrible things going on in the world right now. However, this space needs to remain safe and conflict free. To maintain safety from harassment in this sub, and to stay on topic, one of the rules of the sub is that discussions are strictly about fashion. This has been in the rules this entire time. There are various other spaces online that are appropriate for discussing non fashion related topics and politics. If this is an issue for you, and you can’t respect these rules that are established for safety reasons, please don’t participate in this sub.

You can, and should if you are able to, spread awareness on your own personal platforms and in spaces where it is appropriate, this just isn’t the place.

The Met Gala garners funding every year for the Costume Institute from the proceeds of the gala, that is why it exists. The event helps to maintain historical garments and creates jobs for creators, jobs that have been hard to come by in recent years. This is a fashion sub, run by moderators who love high fashion and work in the industry. That is why these photos were shared.

Thank you ❤️

I'm glad. Yes of course there are issues, but the fashion industry itself in all it's capacities has issues. You can't critique one thing without critiquing everything else, essentially. So agreed on saving the discourse for other avenues and platforms. In our minds, can hold space for what needs to change in the industry, while still loving fashion. It's nice to have a space just to enjoy it. ✨
