The dress code of the funeral

The intentions were all there, from the beginning. The dress code? “When in doubt, dress well.” And the invitation was immediately accepted by the stars, who provided various style suggestions for the occasion on how to dress for a funeral. It was she, Madame, with her looks and her eccentric must-haves, who inspired the circle of the Maison for the occasion. The inevitable style details: the accessories most famous, from the legendary pearl necklace Low Relief (worn, among others, by the British actress Susie Cave) to the legendary check box Harlequin derby (chosen by Lady Amelia Windsor) up to the soaring platform pumps Elevated Courtsflaunted by none other than by Kate Moss.

The suggestion on how to dress for a funeral was also followed impeccably by another model among Madame’s favourites, Jade Parfitt: for her, a dress with yellow flowers and a black background, opaque stockings, soaring heels and a leather trench coat.

The essential style detail for a fashionable funeral? A notable headdress. There veil to English, as the most elegant suggests, Elle Fanning; but also of the most original pieces, such as the Basque by Kate Moss and the “cat” headpiece by Iris Law. A real homage, to remember the character of Soo Catwoman, icon of London’s punk subculture, in the mini series she interpreted and dedicated to Sex Pistols – we recall that Madame’s first companion was the manager of the band Malcom McLaren.

Also present is the latest husband as well as designer of the brand Andreas Kronthaler, contrite in maxi stole and beanie lettering with a punk touch. “What he wanted more than anything was to make the world a better place,” she said during the ceremony. Of course, she managed to make it cooler.
