Party Piece

Rachel Gilbert Clothing

’Tis the season to be social, and your calendar is jam packed with lengthy lunches and glam soirees.

So you’ll need a little party pick-me-up.

Unhook that intravenous Berroca and slip into a fabulous frock by Australian designer Rachel Gilbert. With beading, rhinestones and ruffles aplenty, her designs will light up any room. Just add metallic heels (and a rock or two) for serious megawatt style.

The fringed white flapper dress is fittingly festive and will stay on trend for spring. Or why not go for a glitzy sequined number? In terms of that essential pre-party boost, it will get the heart racing in no time.

And not just your own.

Available at Austique, 330 Kings Road, SW3 5UR (020 7376 4555 or austique.co.uk); online at net-a-porter.com. To see styles, go to rachelgilbertsydney.com.
