Dressed for the MET: Styled in Cherry Creek North

The infamous Met Gala is right around the corner! On Monday May 6, 2024, celebrities and designers will strut the red carpet at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The official dress code is “The Garden of Time”. In celebration of fashions biggest night, we asked our local fashion retailers for on-theme Met Gala looks that can be found right here in Cherry Creek North.

Mariel is ready for the met.

Renowned for curating avant-garde pieces from emerging designers alongside timeless classics, Mariel Boutique is where sophistication meets innovation. With an eye for detail and a passion for pushing fashion boundaries, Mariel Boutique offers an unparalleled shopping experience for the discerning fashion enthusiast.

Shimmer, color, lace and butterfly wing details. This is a one of a kind contour gown but not at a contour price. It encapsulates a whimsical fairytale sensation, that perfectly aligns with the Mets theme of the garden of life.

ANDRISEN MORTON

Boasting a curated collection of tailored suits, luxury accessories, and bespoke services, Andrisen Morton caters to the modern gentleman who values both style and substance. 

Outfit details- Shoes: Ferragamo, Shirt: Eton, Suit: Zegna, Bowtie: Dion

The Met Gala immerses us to a history of past lives and cyclical themes of beauty and destruction. Not only does a tuxedo speak to times of the past, it serves as a storied object, black and white, representing grace. The floral bowtie reflects fragility and putridness underlined in the Gala’s celebration of its dress code, ‘The Garden of Time’ by J.G. Ballard.

GARBARINI

With a legacy spanning decades, this boutique has perfected the art of blending high fashion with everyday wearability. From coveted designer labels to eclectic streetwear finds, Garbarini offers a diverse selection that caters to every style preference.

At the heart of my ensemble lies the pièce de résistance: a skirt from the visionary atelier of Eisabetta Franchi. Crafted with ethereal finesse, its sheer fabric delicately envelops the wearer, adorned with sequined razor-cut stems that seemingly bloom on this silhouette. Paired with the Caroline Lace Bustier by brand Generation Love, this ensemble is a symphony of texture and form, merging femininity with an avant-garde edge. Grounded upon (yet simultaneously soaring above) the Kori platform heels by Sam Edleman, wrapped in crushed luxe blue velvet. And to 'crown' this manifestation of dreams, a custom headpiece, a testament to my personal ingenuity and whimsy. This event reminds us: Fashion is not merely fabric and thread—it is the tangible manifestation of our most extravagant dreams. - Deb Davenport of Garbarini.

HAVEN

Our collection wouldn't be complete without this fresh and fabulous look from the ladies of HAVEN - a lifestyle shop based on the philosophy that everything should be timeless and tastefully rebellious. Visit their stunning boutique at 257 Fillmore to shop their Met Gala-inspired look. 

"This silk charmeuse beauty from Figue perfectly embodies this year’s Met Gala dress code of  “The Garden of Time '' inspired by the (very moody) short story written by J.G. Balland.  The timeless, flattering silhouette is giving ancient Greek goddess but in a bold, fantastical modern floral pattern."

We all love a reason to dress to the nines! Maybe Anna Wintour did not invite you to the Met Gala (or maybe she did), but luckily for us Denverites, there are numerous fashion forward events on the calendar that benefit our beautiful city. Events such as Denver Botanic Gardens' Fête des Fleurs, 5280 Top of the Town, and the Denver Derby Party. Whatever the occasion, rest assured that the fashion retailers of Cherry Creek North will have you looking like a million bucks!
