If you are one of the select few to receive an invitation for the release party of the new book Gloss, good luck deciphering the dress code, which sounds like the fever dream of someone who fell asleep watching Studio 54.
Gloss showcases the work of 1970s photographer Chris Von Wangenheim, and designer Marc Jacobs is hosting the fête at former hotspot Tunnel in New York City. Yahoo Style received a coveted invitation, and the dress code (yes, it's in all caps, and yes, it says "sequins" three times) is a doozy:
STRICT DRESS TO KILL CODE WILL BE ENFORCED: FUR COATS OVER LINGERIE, LIP GLOSS, JERRY HALL SIDE-SWEPT HAIR, SEQUINS, GOLD LAMÉ TURBANS, PATTI HEARST SYMBIONESE LIBERATION ARMY GEAR, ROGUE, ROLLERINA CHIC, SHEER HAREM PANTS, MINI SKIRTS AND MUSCULAR LEGS, PLATINUM RECORDS AS HEAD GEAR, SEQUINS, GRACE JONES BUTCH REALNESS, GLOSS-Y SKIN, BLEACHED EYEBROWS, SLITS, RIDING IN ON A WHITE HORSE, SEQUINS, SKY HIGH STILETTOS, MIRRORED AVIATORS, METAL MESH, COWL NECKLINE HALTERS, OR EYES OF LAURA MARS CHIC. NO FLAT SHOES. NO MATTE SURFACES. NO NATURAL LOOKS. [via Yahoo Style]
Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend, as I seem to have misplaced my Symbionese Liberation Army jumpsuit, my sheer harem pants are at the cleaners, and I'm not quite sure what "Grace Jones butch realness" means.
