DESIGNER: Organic by John Patrick

INSPIRATION: Krazy Kat Klub, a prohibition-era speakeasy in Washington D.C.

TOP LOOKS: Floral on floral-printed pants-suit; Seersucker shorts-suit; poufy leather skirt with oversize pearls, Shalom Harlow in drag

ACCESSORIES: Gumball-size pearl and hardware necklaces, a collaboration with Fenton/Fallon; rolled down thigh-high stockings and garters a la Krazy Kat; dark mulberry-colored lips

WHO WAS THERE: Shalom Harlow bartending in drag, Lauren Bush, Vogue's Tonne Goodman, and rising model Lindsey Wixson

WHAT WE THOUGHT: The speakeasy-themed presentation was all about "deep Bohemia" and vintage glamour. Wine-saturated lips and Veronica Lake ringlets set-off sweet florals, seersucker, pinstripes, bloomers, and leather. And, oh yeah, everything is organic or sustainable.
