Alice Temperley opted to skip NYFW to mark her label's decade anniversary through a showing at London Fashion Week in the grand surroundings of The British Museum. A venue not likely used for this purpose, Alice Temperley seems to ooze decadence wherever she shows. Intricate stitching, and heavy embellishments on rich, heavy silks and delicate tulles left the crowd (and antsy bloggers like ourselves) simply swoon. Our favorite part? The way she pulls off the use of crystal, fringe, pleating, silk, and ruffles all in one piece that boasts a surprisingly subtle result. *sigh* With a collection like this, and raved reviews throughout London, Alice has got reason to raise her glass to an astounding 10th year. Temperley London, you're anything but temporary. Happy Anniversary! photocreds: style.com, fashionising.com
