The spring 2012 exhibition organized by The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art is Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.
The exhibition, on view from May 10th through August 19th 2012, explores the striking affinities between these two Italian designers from different eras.
Inspired by Miguel Covarrubias’s satirical “Impossible Interviews” for Vanity Fair in the 1930s, curators Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton orchestrate conversations between these iconic women to suggest new readings of the designers’ most innovative work.
The Gala Benefit was held on May 07th, with Honorary Chair Jeff Bezos and Co-Chairs Carey Mulligan, Miuccia Prada, and Anna Wintour; Baz Luhrmann serves as Exhibition Creative Consultant with Nathan Crowley as Production Designer.

UPDATED AUGUST 06th 2011: Added a new image of the campaign.
Adrien Sahores and Snejana Onopka are the models who featured the first preview images of Balmain‘s more affordable line, Pierre Balmain, created by a separate design team from Balmain‘s new creative director, Olivier Rousteing. The campaign was photographed by Giampaolo Sgura and styled by Marie Chaix. The make up and hair was done by Adrien Pinault and Christoph Hasenbein. The collection will hit the stores in December 2011.
The prices for Pierre Balmain are to range from 120 euros ($172) for T-shirts and 250 euros ($363) for jeans up to 900 euros ($1,291) for eveningwear. Cheaper than Balmain for sure!
