A Night at the Opera

Jane’s Vanity invites you to conquer every situation with a unique selection of luxurious garments. JV is your special friend when you arrive in the big city, receive a surprise invitation, and a desire to “almost” blend in.

Thanks to Jane’s Vanity, there is no need to feel like a country mouse, even when you are unexpectedly whisked off to New York City’s Metropolitan Opera. Because, just in case, you have packed the sophisticated Aphrodite Robe from Temperley London. Its cunning English print on black silk is complemented by a plunging open front with a single hook and eye closure. Its ankle length is perfect for making an entrance at Lincoln Center, worn over the matching trousers from the PJ set, or even skinny capri-length jeans. Just add sparkling high sandals. And Gisel B’s dangly Margaret baroque pearl earrings. No worries about the cold, because you have also, cleverly, folded in the Black Rib Silk Bodysuit from Aromatique. 

For a NYC chill, or a thrill, save space in your luggage for raspberry pink silk velvet loungewear from Gilda & Pearl. These “Frankly My Dear” pieces are so mixable. Wear for a show at the charming Shubert Theater, then cross the street to Sardi’s for late-night pasta. Make it the Frankly My Dear Slip Dress over the trousers from the matching Frankly My Dear Pajama set. Finish with the Frankly My Dear Midi Robe, worn open as a duster. Order a Manhattan?

And, for a date at the Opéra National de Paris? No worries, because you have packed a JV dress. Pull the Petrol Flared Sleeves Velvet Dress from Stelios Koudounaris from your suitcase. Its saturated teal color, deep side-slit midi length, and elasticized belted waistband could take you anywhere. Just unpack and let it steam on a hanger while you take a shower.

Champagne in Venice’s Teatro La Fenice? Nessun problema (No problem)! Give yourself a pat on the back for bringing the sizzling Champagne in Venice Dress from Gilda & Pearl. Its embroidered sheer white net is trimmed in white marabou feathers. And, for modesty when going out, it just requires the Silver Screen Kitty Slip underneath. Both fold up to nothing.

Jane always suggests that you be prepared for travel with a chocolate bar. Take it a step further and bring along a sweet–and packable–party ensemble!
