Tonight I had the wonderful opportunity of attending an event at the French Institute Alliance Francaise where the fabulous Andre Leon Talley discussed his latest book Little Black Dress. Mr. Talley discussed why he selected some of the dresses in the book and read a few of his favorite quotes on the Little Black Dress and it's significance to women and the fashion world. This discussion was followed by a question and answer session and a book signing. My question: What is your favorite silhouette for a dress? His answer: He loves the sheath dress like the one on the cover of the book (which is a Chanel owned by Anna Wintour) and enjoys a dramatic full ball gown (there's another dress by Lagerfeld featured in the book). He also noted that he likes hot pants! The book is definitely a great addition to any fashionista's collection.
Although this was an event about the LBD, I didn't feel pressured to wear one. I fell in love with this floral blouse at Forever 21 and decided I wanted to mix it up a little with these Kate Spade polka dot tights. I paired the blouse with an Aqua skirt from Bloomingdale's, added some royal blue suede shoes (that were almost free) and I was ready to go!
"Read more" to see the book signing...
I love that it looks like I'm telling Mr. Talley what to do. (I'm really not)
He was funny and personable...just the way I expected him to be!
My book says "Brittany, Too Fabulous to Fail!" Love it!
