All pics for MDC\/Betty.<\/p>\n<p>With the recession on everyone&#8217;s mind and the general fashion mood veering towards dour, the Met&#8217;s &#8216;Model As Muse&#8217; exhibition is a refreshingly escapist delight that gives us a moment to enjoy the things that made us love fashion in the first place. To quote the buoyant words of Suzy Menkes, we need events like this to cheer us up when the chips are down. Beauty, elegance and inspiration reign supreme throughout the show that features the premiere models of each era in their element. Rather than a being a time capsule the show is crafted like a voyage throughout fashion&#8217;s history from the early 00s to the mid nineties. Academy Award winning production designer John Myhre&#8217;s sets, combined with hundreds of images from magazines, combine to tell a story that is fascinating even for those who do not know much about the faces behind the images. When asked what he hoped for when sponsoring the event, designer Marc Jacobs said simply that he hoped for something lively. With the impressive showing and tonight&#8217;s post-war club themed party sure to be a hit, it appears that Marc has gotten his wish.
