Luxurious Feathers

Ostrich feathers took off with the fashionable elite in the 18th century, and although they have since come in and out of fashion, tonight, they’re definitely back in the spotlight. Your look is entirely up to you, but luxe feathers must be a focal point.

Debutantes and Suitors

For centuries, London’s social season revolved around debutantes. Tonight, show us why the entire ball should revolve around you!

MF, Black Tie

FF, White Gown 

Bring it in a floor-length gown, and don’t forget your gloves. Shades of white, off-whites, creams and ivories are all acceptable. A look inspired by 18th-century fashion is not required—the fit and cut can be contemporary, inspired by your heritage, and even futuristic—however, it must be white and still read as formal.
