The look: Glam Slam

The essentials: Fur coats and jackets, satin trenches, tweed sheaths, fitted suits, high-waited pencil skirts and pants, sheer blouses, kimono sleeves, illusion cocktail dresses, fur-trimmed gowns.

The palette: Black, white, ivory, brown, slate, champagne.

Bottom line: Gilles Mendel's richly textured, '40s-inspired collection recalled the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood.
