Often called “the bible of fashion”, Women’s Wear Daily magazine renowned its 100th anniversary last week. The red carpet at the celebration was star-studded with models, designers, and fashionistas, but many had impressive in general: black was the irresistible palette of the high fashion event at Cipriani in NYC.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen crooked up representing their line The Row. The twins wore shaggy black fur coats, and Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, was spotted in a coat with a comparable black fur collar. You recognize the Olsen twins must be doing somewhat right if it’s Anna-approved.

Eye catching collars were moreover worn by fashion designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, founders of Marchesa. Craig’s layered gold necklaces were suggestive of a Cleopatra-style breastplate, and Chapman’s fluffy neckline looked similar to an amped-up take on Queen Elizabeth’s ruffled collars. Designer Anna Sui’s Chinese-inspired embroidered velvet cape showed a style for the historical as well.

Though these names in fashion were there to celebrate the narration of the iconic periodical, they also appeared to be paying homage to fashion’s own history.
