Every year, the Met Gala dominates headlines with extravagant looks and celebrity selfies. But behind the velvet ropes and tailored suits is one of the most powerful - and profitable - marketing machines in the world, masterminded by none other than Anna Wintour.

In this episode, we explore how the Met Gala became fashion’s Super Bowl, why designers spend millions to show up, and how the exclusivity of the guest list translates to massive media value. We also dig into how Wintour has cleverly brought in tech sponsors like Amazon and TikTok, and what that says about the future of retail and the shifting landscape of influence. This isn’t just about fashion — it’s about power, prestige, and the campaigns money can’t buy.
