The Lighter Side of Fashion: MetLife Snoopy in Fashion

After all of the runway gossip settles down the first question that often comes to mind, for me anyway, is: Really? I mean, the truly wacky aside, why can’t there be a fashion show that is a little more light-hearted? A little less The Devil Wears Prada and a little more, I don’t know, Peanuts? Oh, and I want it to be for a good cause too.

Well, I was watching The View on TiVo the other day and it turns out that indeed if you ask, you shall receive.
