The designer behind the Met Gala

The city that never sleeps, that's what New York City is called with its infinite river of lights and its endless schedule of events, galas, and ceremonies. Each of them more dazzling than the previous one, not only for the recognized figures that attend but for its elegant design and decoration. But who is behind all that preparation? Who is responsible for designing these breathtaking venues?

Raúl Àvila is one of the masterminds behind many of the most important events that take place in New York City from weddings, photo shoots and fashion shows to the same MET Gala. After leaving Bogotá in 1984, Àvila found his vocation in New York, where he worked with the successful event planner Robert Isabell for 14 years. This is how Raúl Ávila Inc. was born, his company that since 2005 has become the favorite among the most recognized figures and companies in the world.

With a wide list of well-known clients such as Gucci, CFDA, Vogue, Cartier, and Chanel among others, Raúl Àvila has established himself as one of the best designers and event planners in New York City and the world.
