STYLE SET A look from Alexander McQueen's Spring 2012 collection. Elsa Schiaparelli Alexander McQueen's exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a hard act to follow. But two of fashion's most prolific women will soon take up the challenge. "Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion" explores the striking affinities between these two Italian designers. The exhibition will feature about 80 designs by Schiaparelli from the late '20s through the early '50s when she retired, and Prada from the late '80s to current day. And just like in years past, the exhibition will kick off with the Met Ball, co-chaired by Carey Mulligan, Miuccia Prada and Anna Wintour; Jeff Bezos will serve as the honorary chair. On view from May 10 through August 19, 2012. POWERWOMEN 32 BAL HARBOUR IT'S BEEN A BANNER YEAR FOR BAL HARBOUR—AND IT'S ONLY JUST BEGUN.
