{ costume of the day } best night ever

last night's coach collectibles launch party ~ held at the brand's magnificent madison avenue flagship store ~ was easily one of the most memorable moments of my life! i've got a whole other post in the works featuring pics from the event, but first things first: what i wore:

such a special occasion called for a super special ensemble ~ ie: high fashion-pressure potential! luckily, designer josie natori generously offered to make me the custom dress of my dreams. how could i refuse?!

we collaborated on the design, which was engineered to reflect my style signatures, josie's expert specialties, and of course, the look of my bag. thus, the keyhole shoulders (a personal favorite, seen regularly in my glamourwrap designs), the lush, exotically printed silk (a natori trademark), and the intricately seamed lantern sleeves ~ whose hidden architecture precisely mimics the curved construction of my coach tote.

i felt easily chic all night long ~ and also like the luckiest girl in the world! in an attempt to give back a small portion of the overwhelming good fortune which has been bestowed upon me, i'll be re-teaming with josie natori to auction off this very-dear dress on ebay, with 100% of the proceeds going to women in need, a new york organization that provides housing and job training to homeless women and their families. stay tuned for more details!
