“Just months after Swift spoke out against artists not being paid during a free trial period for streaming service Apple Music (convincing Apple to reverse course), the pop star and one of Apple’s top execs will be co-hosting a fashion party together in New York City,” Teresa Novellino reports for New York Business Journal.
“Apple is backing the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibition next spring titled, “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,” as well as the 2016 Met Gala, which means the tech giant will have a presence at what is easily New York City’s most star-studded fashion event of the year,” Novellino reports. “Ive, Apple’s chief design officer will host the May 2 soiree alongside Swift, British actor and musician Idris Elba, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.”
Novellino reports, “The exhibition will focus on the dichotomy between handmade haute couture and machine-made fashion.”
MacDailyNews Take: Burnishing Apple’s fashion credentials is a good thing as the age of truly useful wearables dawns, thanks to Apple Watch.
