The costume institute also partners with The MET, FIT and other renowned museums to bring fashion back to Phoenix.

Since this was an event for charity, throughout the night there were different items being auctioned off. I basically felt as if I had walked into a scene from “Gossip Girl,” the energy was amazing. There was music playing, people walking around conversing, pictures being taken and even an area for people to play poker. Once my colleagues and I were inside of the hotel, we were escorted to the elevator, not before getting some of our own pictures of course, and we made it to the second floor where the party had already started. ![]()
