The ART of wearing
Prêt-à-couture
BLAKE NEWBY
Met Monday with #blakenewby in a custom chocolate velvet number.
This year, the Met Gala celebrates fashion as an artistic medium, and craft as a form of praxis. To be invited to dress a guest at this year’s Gala is not just an honour, it is also an opportunity to honour the long tradition of design as an artistic medium, and the role that costume has played in our culture, our rituals and our history in Nigeria and the continent.
These are the very themes that define much of Ben Enwonwu’s early work. ‘Africa’s First Art Star’ as fondly described by curator Okwui Enwezor, was an artist commissioned to commemorate Nigeria’s Independence and its early nationhood between 1945 - 1965. His work documented the ideological and artistic tension between Nigeria’s pre-colonial past and its cosmopolitan future.
A specific decade of his work was of particular interest to me, starting with ‘Benin’ from his ‘Song of the City’ series, created in the 1940’s, and his now iconic 1955 sculpture, ‘Anyanwu’ which depicts a stylised interpretation of the Earth Goddess Ani, depicted in the ceremonial dress of the Edo people, a merging of culture through costume. Both works from this period are distinctive because they feature women as avatars of the Nigerian identity, and position femininity as worthy of elevation. They bear his now distinctive attention to detail, love for form and silhouette and tradition of challenging convention by distorting the familiar. I draw inspiration from his signature exaggerated silhouettes, his severe geometry, his use of costume as a symbol of dignity and status.
I consider it a privilege to use this auspicious event as an opportunity to celebrate Enwonwu’s influence as an artist, continue the long standing tradition of art begetting art, and contribute to the evolution of craft across generations and mediums.

The Met Gala dress of my dreams all thanks to @vicnateng.
When I went to Victor, I told him that while I of course wanted to be on theme of “Fashion Is Art,” I still desired something classic that I’d wear time and time again.
He proposed drawing inspiration from the incomparable Nigerian artist Ben Enwonwu. Particularly, Benin’ from his ‘Song of the City’ series, created in the 1940’s, and his now iconic 1955 sculpture, ‘Anyanwu’ - swipe to the end to see.
My third year at the Met Gala and this time, I had the pleasure of taking over the steps with @thecut. Until next time ✨

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
