I found this post on the Miista site while drooling over the new season lookbook. At first glance, the pictures almost looked like oil paintings produced by an artist who was clearly on some hallucinogenic or other but it turns out this is just how rich people liked to party back in the day! The hostess - a wealthy french heiress - was apparently known for throwing top secret and ultra exclusive shin-digs for the upper echelon of paris, but this is one of the only events where a guest was permitted to take photos.

“Marie-Hélène de Rothschild of the high society, ultra-wealthy Parisian banking family, took it upon herself to throw a dinner party unlike any other. The dress code? “Black tie, long dresses & Surrealists heads.” And the invitation? Well that was printed up backwards — forcing invitees to hold it up to a mirror in order to read. The momentous event was held in the iconic Château which Rothschild outfitted with amber spotlights that swept along the building, creating the illusion of a roaring fire. Upon entering guests were immediately confronted with a staircase lined with servants dressed as kitty cats. MeOW!”
