Grazia�s accessories editor Louise Cavanough gives us the scoop on her fabulous fashion finds
Upon entering Sydney�s Establishment bar on Friday afternoon, market editor Anouk, junior fashion editor Peter and I were invited into Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs� fantasy of Parisian nightclub glamour.
Champagne flowed as we were treated to a celebration of the French muses, models, socialites and fashion mascots of the 1980s.
The collection was far more impressive in the flesh (or should I say fabric?) than it was online. We saw lace dresses, puffball skirts and even a pair of bejewelled leggings � Peter was specifically instructed not to try these on, but we�ll see if he can obey orders when they hit our fashion cupboard further down the track�
Oh, the accessories! There were gold boots so high they�d skim the bum of the leggiest model, hot pink studded clutches to die for and metal necklaces in shocking colours, inspired by children�s paper chain necklaces.
We were also invited to customise our own Louis Vuitton bag using the new online ordering system: you can choose from one of the classic monogrammed bag designs and then select your initials, which are then printed onto the leather - with a three-letter limit, our Grazia bag was dubbed GRZ.
The world of Vuitton was one of extravagance, excess and all things over-the-top and ridiculous. And we loved every minute. The only question left: when can we go back?
