SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, ALIX OF BOHEMIA WAS ASKED TO CREATE A GARMENT FOR A MODERN ALICE IN WONDERLAND EDITORIAL FOR HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI TATLER. HAVING LONG SUSPECTED ALICE WAS ACTUALLY A CLOSET GYPSY, WE WERE ONLY TOO THRILLED TO COMPLY. AFTER PULLING AN ALL-NIGHTER ON THE BACK END OF A TRIP TO PHUKET, THE RESULTING ALICE DRESS WAS FLANKED WITH A FEATHER BELT AND BOA, LANDING THE COVER FOR THE SHANGHAI EDITION, ABOVE.
AFTER A GIRLY DINNER WITH AMBERLY AND CONNIE CHEZ MOI LAST WEEK (SALMON TARTARE, WATERMELON AND CHAMPAGNE), A DRESS-UP SESSION INEVITABLY ENSUED, RIFLING THROUGH THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA ARCHIVES (A VERY LARGE CLOSET).
AFTER TRYING ON SOME GEMS FROM SPRING 2012 (NO PEEKING), THE ALICE DRESS STRUCK AMBER AND SHE STRUCK A POSE:
BLUE STEEL: AMBER IN THE ALICE DRESS AND MEXICAN SHELL BELT (LEFT) AND CONNIE.
