Frill Seeking : The dress every editor wants
Neon Fix
CATE Blanchett arrived at last night's Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences New Members Reception in London (a glittering affair hosted by U.S. Ambassador to the UK, Matthew Barzun, at his home Winfield House) wearing Proenza Schouler's dress of the season. We cannot emphasis enough that this is the dress thatevery fashion editor wants to shoot right now, and own by February 2016, and it's safe to say that Cate killed it in this look. Flamenco frills and the ruffled silhouette are big news next year, which is why everyone at the Vogue office is also fawning over the spring/summer 2016 Alexander McQueen collection, which was widely received as Sarah Burton's greatest to date - as sported by Rooney Mara, Blanchett's co-star in new film, Carol. What can we take away from this magical moment when high fashion and two of Hollywood's high priestesses met head-on? Get on the waiting lists for those frocks ASAP.
