Temperley London combined haunting music and a black metallic backdrop to invoke the mystery and intrigue of their fall inspiration- the iconic Mata Hari.
A refreshing and unexpected choice, Mata Hari was not only a notoriously bewitching spy, but also an early 1900's symbol of danger and opulence. Striking eveningwear, embellished coats, draped suiting separates and bags composed the bulk of the collection. Rich jewel tones highlighted a contrast palette of black, ivory, rose and clay in an array of decadent fabrics.
Notable celebrities attending included Christy Turlington, who looked glorious with healthy bronzed skin and a bold animal print frock. Acclaimed actress Julia Stiles graced the front row in a demure inky baby doll dress, well suited for the mood of the collection. The show was over an hour late in starting, but was well worth the wait.
Temperley isn't generally the first name that comes to mind as the epitome of hotness, but this fall offering was smoking. Military dress hats and overt uniform details, along with plenty of skintight leather gave a slight wiff of bondage to the collection. Emerald lame jersey and jewel-dripped sheer fabrics were clear winners in the eveningwear category and finished off the freshest womenswear show this week.
