Simple and elegant all at once, the clean lines of black and white always proffer a certain sharpness and precision. If you're looking for a strong statement this might just be the palette you're looking for. Add a third color via jewelry, accessories or your bouquet and you'll have a great touch of visual harmony going on . . . . <br />

On trend now is anything ruched to the intricately gathered skirts rolled into florals. As you've probably figured ruffles can be worn head to toe on bodice, sleeve, skirt or train. And don't forget those finishing touches like shoes, purses, gloves, hats and veils layered in ruffles. Below are just a few treatments celebrating variations on the ruffle. </span></div>

Knowing how much you love gala and all that goes with it, I'll get right down to the swoon-worthy stuff. Last Friday was opening night at the San Francisco Opera. With a time-honored tradition for 'Puttin' on the Ritz', SF's opening is a bit like Cannes Film Festival meeting New Year's Eve in Old Vienna. Premiering with Pucini's <em>Turandot,</em> the parade of chic was especially inspiring this year and if you're as amped on couture as I am this is your visual fix for awhile. Notice all those bridal designers we know and love simply switch to technicolor when they come out on nights like this. . . .<br /><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">WHAT'S NEW ON THE RED CARPET?</span></strong></div><br /><br />
<strong>TREND#1.) Prints and Drapery . . .</strong> While we've been seeing prints featured more and more on the Red Carpet they had particular significance Friday night following <em>Turandot's</em> eastern theme. Add all the brightly embossed and embroidered fabrics and there was a real show of color. Gowns with draping have been no strangers on the runways and carpet; now designers are moving into asymmetrical and pleat variations in both bodices and skirts for evening wear. <strong>Above:</strong> Marissa Mayer (of Google fame) looked fabulous in a gold shot print gown created by none other than The Duchess of Cambridge's own wedding gown designer, Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.<strong> Below: </strong>Former Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown with Sonya Molodetskaya in a gorg purple and lavender asymmetrically draped and fitted gown by <a href="http://www.azadehcouture.com/">Azadeh Couture .</a> . .<br /><br />

A rich blue, the cut and lightness of silk organza are all this gown needs to take a walk down the Red Carpet. Check out the asymmetrically pleated bodice and draped skirt--a real must see must see in action on the video as Deepa goes through some serious twirls .<br /><br />

EMBROIDERY.</strong> I haven't seen this kind of handiwork since the 60s when Oscar de la Renta introduced variations of it in the peasant/gypsy look. Well, Oscar is alive and well now reinventing gypsies into Czarinas as you can see in this masterpiece worn by Dede Wilsey. The detail work is exquisite and first glance totally took my breath away. Check out the video to get a close up of the intricate hand work.<br /><br />

Of all the ruffled gowns (and there were stacks) this <a href="http://www.christianvsiriano.com/">Christian Siriano</a> worn by Afsaneh Akhatari took the prize and is another video must see.<br /><br />

This headpiece as Belle says, '<i>Is wearable art for your head, this exceedingly unusual, dare I say odd, headpiece is made of an 8" woven ball of grapevines, that has been painted black. It is mounted onto a small round wool base with elastic to hold it on, and in the center is a battery operated candle that glows and flickers.'</i><br />
Belle is a Seattle based milliner with a background designing costume (Can't you tell?). I think she's a real fashion pioneer and have been keeping up with new additions to her store regularly since 2008 when I first laid eyes on her magic. Keep a look out for new goodies on her site listed above.

The Oh La La! factor really kicked once the crowd swelled; Cecil Beaton's over the top sets and costumes for <em>My Fair Lady</em> come to mind yet this is all real. When have we seen such a parade of head sculpture all in one place? <a href="http://www.philiptreacy.co.uk/">Phillip Treacy </a>was the star hatter with others like Jane Taylor and Noel Stewart wowing us, every creation a 180 turn from the next. I have to admit, when it comes to hats the British have to be the most inventive. Do you perchance get the idea some of these dresses and coat ensembles were designed around the head wear? The UK has a rich history of costume and keeping aspects of it traditional. Their hats have evolved to the art form we saw today and I think they will continue to reinvent new trends. <br />

As you've probably figured out from the above photo, ruffles can be worn head to toe on bodice, even covering sleeve, skirt or train. And don't forget those accessories. I've seen shoes, purses, gloves, hats and veils layered in ruffles. Below are just a few treatments, mostly skirts, celebrating the ruffle.<br />

Those who strutted the red carpet at this year's opening of the San Francisco Ballet sported more than the usual flurry of feathers and plumes. Were these women going haute couture perchance influenced by the magnificent thriller, <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947798/">Black Swan</a>? </em>No one knows for sure but the trend is definitely on. If you're as intrigued as I am with ballet's influence on fashion, look for elements of dance style hitting the runways in up and coming seasons. Designers are bringing out more feathered hats, head pieces and even jewelry evoking ballet characters. Though tulle skirts are already trendy for bridal and evening, new versions will be paired up with bomber jackets and t-shirts as this ethereal fabric makes it's way into street chic. As long as we're on the subject of ballet, I hope the practice and rehearsal wear dancers bend and stretch in make some appearance on the runway again. With a string of popular ballet movies back in the 1970s like T<i>he Turning Point </i>and <i>Dancers i</i>n the 80s, there was a rush for surplice jersey tops, leg warmers and leggings (still with us). What women have found is dancers look chic even working their butts off; but they're also going to be comfortable<br />

Rolling out the red carpet for the cavalcade of couture, the most celebrated designer it seemed was Alexander McQueen living on through his art as social sceners paid him the ultimate tribute, by wearing his most dramatic pieces. <strong>Above: </strong>Always nailing a grand entrance, Deepa Pakianathan does it again wearing a cocktail length dress and booties by the late McQueen. The skirt is extraordinary with gold painted feathers draped with silk screened fabric. Says Deepa, "The print is very special . . . it looks like a tapestry with angels . . ." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TU_1Wmmo6sM/TULz3ctH3jI/AAAAAAAATic/Th8GFBIGP0Y/s1600/ba-sfbgala28_0502886353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TU_1Wmmo6sM/TULz3ctH3jI/AAAAAAAATic/Th8GFBIGP0Y/s1600/ba-sfbgala28_0502886353.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2011/01/28/DD2C1HF5CM.DTL&object=%2Fc%2Fpictures%2F2011%2F01%2F26%2Fba-sfbgala28_0502886353.jpg">source</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TU_1Wmmo6sM/TULz4uj6-uI/AAAAAAAATig/dcWd6WqkpUw/s1600/dd-topfive28_pas_0502889383.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TU_1Wmmo6sM/TULz4uj6-uI/AAAAAAAATig/dcWd6WqkpUw/s1600/dd-topfive28_pas_0502889383.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2011/01/28/DDF11HF26B.DTL&object=%2Fc%2Fpictures%2F2011%2F01%2F27%2Fdd-topfive28_pas_0502889383.jpg">source</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">The ever elegant Yurie Pascarella in Alexander McQueen.

The now famous Monarch Butterfly Dress is the finale piece from Seattle designer, Luly Yang's Metamorphosis collection! Believe it or not she had originally created the piece in paper while working as a graphic designer for an architecture firm. There was a competition to highlight the quality of fine paper products, and to best display the papers printing qualifications, Luly Yang chose to print the image of the butterfly and pattern the paper into a dress. Thus sprang to life her rendering of what is now known as the Butterfly dress and needless to say she won the competition. She then used fabric to create the actual Butterfly dress and her career as a couture designer was born. </span></span></span><br />

When I first laid eyes on these stunning images I followed the links leading me to the work of photographer Bryan John Hendon. A master of composition, his specialty is his incredible use of both artificial and natural light. Here with his favorite muse and model, Loren Juliet Paige, they have created real fashion poetry showcasing these gorgeous vintage gowns from Divine Elegance .<br />

This year's inspiration was The Ocean. In her opening letter in the show program, Luly wrote: <em>"This year's show takes its lighthearted inspiration from the seemingly endless variety of life that lives in our ocean. I found myself with a child-like curiosity of this mysterious underwater world, inspired by the infinite range of movement, texture and color that lives in the alternate universe". </em>The production of the fashion show takes months to complete and each dress is painstakingly designed and delicately made. The difference between luxury ready-to-wear and couture is that Luly spends hours in the work room developing and carrying out her inspiration. Every detail of every dress is overseen by her, and the finished product is one that is personally nurtured by Luly. These images are the end result of a magnificent concept to creation project . . . .<br />
