Zeitgeist-identifier and design icon Marc Jacobs perfectly captures the spirit of New York City as the hub of the fashion world in an ultra-specific, ALL CAPS party invitation. Promoting the release of the book Gloss, Marc’s glitter-soaked party will happen sometime during New York Fashion Week, (between September 10 and September 17) at fabled 1980-90s nightclub Tunnel.

This glamorous fête is separate from the September 10 book signing event at Bookmarc that looks to be open to the public.

The fabulousity of the strict “dress to kill” party guideline, expertly delineated in the invitation, seems to be even more exciting than the party itself. So much so that it’s been getting lots of attention online thanks to Yahoo! Style, who first posted the colorful dress code.

As we await hungrily for images from the event, you won’t believe what sort of look requirements Marc lays out for select guests after the jump!

Set for a September 1 launch, the book “Gloss” pays tribute to the glamorous photographer Chris Von Wangenheim, who’s life was cut short in 1981. Known for juxtaposing the evil and grotesque with the beauty and glitz of the disco era, the Fashion Week release party dress code looks to be staying true to the overall energy of that time period.

The insanely “strict” and specific AF look requirement is as follows:

STRICT DRESS TO KILL CODE  WILL BE ENFORCED: FUR COATS OVER LINGERIE, LIP GLOSS, JERRY HALL SIDE-SWEPT HAIR, SEQUINS, GOLD LAMÉ TURBANS, PATTI HEARST SYMBIONESE LIBERATION ARMY GEAR, ROUGE, ROLLERINA CHIC, SHEER HAREM PANTS, MINI SKIRTS AND MUSCULAR LEGS, PLATINUM RECORDS AS HEAD GEAR, SEQUINS, GRACE JONES BUTCH REALNESS, GLOSS-Y SKIN, BLEACHED EYEBROWS, SLITS, RIDING IN ON A WHITE HORSE, SEQUINS, SKY HIGH STILETTOS, MIRRORED AVIATORS, METAL MESH, COWL NECKLINE HALTERS, OR EYES OF LAURA MARS CHIC. NO FLAT SHOES. NO MATTE SURFACES. NO NATURAL LOOKS.

Mystifying terms like “ROLLERINA CHIC” or “ROUGE” seem like looks that might be a little hard to master. (What do they even mean?!)

But while investigating “EYES OF LAURA MARS CHIC,” I found out it’s a 1978 Faye Dunaway thriller with a very sexy-looking Tommy Lee Jones. Faye plays a high-fashion photographer that has psychic visions of murders, all while snapping pictures, and wearing skirts with long SLITS (see dress code). It’s a crazy story but I love the first fashion shoot scene, which I suggest you check out below. It’ll definitely get you pumped for Marc Jacob’s upcoming party.

Happy watching!
