Last week, the New York City Ballet announced its pairings for the third annual Fall Gala Event on 23 September.  I love when ballet and fashion collide and this year's designers are absolutely to-die-for: Mary Katrantzou, Sarah Burton (Alexander McQueen), Carolina Herrera, & Valentino.

The gala has been spearheaded by the one and only SJP, who sits on the board and is an ex-ballerina herself.  Previous designers have included Prabal Gurung, Olivier Theryskens, & Iris van Herpen.

I say what a beautiful way to contribute to the arts. I cannot wait to see what this year has in-store (and what I wouldn't give to attend).
