A Look Back at the 2022 Metropolitan Fashion Week Gala

As we look forward to the 2024 gala, it’s impossible not to reflect on the stunning 10th-anniversary celebration held in 2022.

The event saw a glamorous red carpet filled with renowned figures from the fashion world, making it a night to remember.

Fox TV’s star reporter Christine Devine co-hosted the event, stepping into the role previously filled by Oscar-winning makeup artist Vee Neill. The gala was a testament to the vision of Metropolitan Fashion Week’s Founder and President, Eduardo Khawam, who has tirelessly worked to make this event one of the most prestigious in the fashion calendar. Jesus Luviano, the Manager of Production at Metropolitan Fashion Week, also played a crucial role in the event's success, ensuring that every detail, from the runway setup to the lighting, was executed flawlessly. His efforts helped create an unforgettable experience for all who attended.

The 2022 gala was particularly memorable for Italy, represented by the internationally acclaimed photographer and men’s style icon Raimondo Rossi. Known for his sharp eye and distinctive personal style, Rossi made a striking appearance on the red carpet in an Armani tuxedo, underscoring his status as a global fashion trailblazer. Alongside other distinguished guests, Rossi added a touch of European elegance to the event.
