Some may think this is an over dramatic term, but the monochromatic theme & ornamental garden surroundings were amazing! I found myself lusting after almost every look, although I must admit I felt that the shoes were a let down. Transfer those heavy soled sandals onto a less leggy mere mortal & they've got fashion disaster written all over them.
Even the invitation ticks every box in my style stakes with its black ground & gorgeous loose camellia print.
And so to the clothes. Here's a selection of my favourite looks, which by the way took a while to compile, as I spent a significant amount of time battling with myself narrowing down the selection!

I just love the wearability of these looks.
I love the combination of the textured knit mixed with the smooth satin collar & sheen of leather in the first image. Plus the cobweb draped chain necklace is stunning. Just the right amount of Rock Chic.
How amazing is the slinky draped chain necklace of the second image? It adds an edge to the tonal tweed, which is set off perfectly by the silver sequin trim. I'm picturing myself now wearing this look, albeit minus the shorts. Swap these for a fab pair of dark indigo skinny jeans & I'm done.
And so to the amazing chunky knit dress. Great subtle 1950's shaping combined with a 1980's sweater dress style ribbed hem. What's not to love? Finished off with an iconic quilted clutch, perfect.
And finally, another classic textured tweed jacket giving a nod to the 1950's.
Any post of mine wouldn't be complete without a reference to print. I love the leather jacket, mixed print pussy bow blouse ensemble of the first image & it's finished off perfectly with a printed clutch.
The smoky, ethereal print of the second image adds a lightness to the collection. I also love the double cuff styling, which lessens the overt femininity.
The clean camellia print blouse is accented brilliantly by the textured tweed cropped jacket of the next image. The final image somehow reminds me of the turn of the 20th century. This look is toughened with the addition of chain tassel earrings.
This final group showcases some of the amazing evening looks from the show. A perfect red carpet dress, I can instantly imagine the first outfit on Diane Kruger. I love the heavily beaded bodice combined with the light, feathered, fairytale skirt section. The gothic overtones of the second image are offset by the lightness of the lace making up the dress.
I had to include the babydoll tulle embroidered dress, as it's finished off with one of my favourite things, a satin bow!
All I have to say about the last image is that it's pure 1950's negligee, but it works in Karl Lagerfeld genius style!
