The late Talitha Getty is often sited by '70s-loving creative types looking for a way to convey luxurious psychedelia and the free-spirited wander of elegantly unkempt jet-setters. But in the hands of the ultra-refined Philipines-born Monique Lhuillier, Talitha Getty takes on an entirely new shine.

Saturday's Fall 2016 presentation included gorgeous tapestry slacks and richly embellished long-line jackets as well as full and slim skirt and boxy, fitted toppers. Oh, and gorgeous gowns. As the program notes read, "The Monique Lhuillier woman mixes unexpected combinations for over-the-top elegance."

In true Talitha Getty style, the textiles and fabrics of the collection were lavish, lovely and extraordinary: metallic tapestry lame, paisley jacquard, mink, and art deco-embroidered knits. And in true Monique Lhuillier style, the complete looks and the styling were exemplars of how a modern girl does luxury -shimmery ankle socks with the prettiest heels, stacked jewel tones and perfect proportions.

Talitha was never without her sunglasses-at least in our collective and constructed memory-so it's fitting that the Monique Lhuillier brand debuted a sunglasses line with these pieces. Footwear was another standout accessory.

And here's how all of it sounded-lush, velvety and adorned.
