Alice Temperley cited Mata Hari, a spy from the early 1900’s as a major influence. The collection was less pretty and more edgy than the past. Present-day agents should be so cool. Many looks had boots that went over knees.

Am I the only one who also almost completely forgot that Temperley had a limited edition Target line? Well, my favorite pieces were still the intarsia sweater dresses that designer is famous for.

Oh and Julia Stiles was in the audience…though I had a bit of trouble focusing. Another reporter…who shall remained unnamed…accidentally spelled her last name “Styles.” I don’t call out someone else’s mistake maliciously (I know I make plenty of my own, yo!), but only because I appreciate the Freudian slip. Seriously.

Wow…..Sweater dresses and thigh high boots….have I died and gone to heaven? First the Ivory Billed Woodpecker and now this! Back in the 70s this is what I imagined women would be wearing in the year 2000. The future is a little late, but its worth the wait.
