Paradise lost. This could be the starting point for the inspiration behind the Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition collection for 2018, to be presented in Paris during Couture Week by appointment, and the images produced to illustrate it — with nature almost overtaking the aristocratic palazzo where such designs could be at home. In a nod to the location, tunics and gowns have a motif that looks like a wrought iron gate. The designer’s precious chiffon designs are enriched with beautiful Liberty-style ramage embroideries, but they also have a playful vibe, such as in the short pink dress with micro pleats and flounces. Ferretti works masterfully with pleats and, in one long black and sleeveless gown, they are so intricately laid out that the effect is almost hypnotic.
Easily mixed and matched, some of the pieces can be combined for different occasions. Case in point, a sequined top that reproduces a motif reminiscent of a Fair Isle sweater in shades of powder pink and red can be worn with shantung cigarette pants or denim jeans, as well as over a chiffon skirt for an evening event. Short marabou feather bombers lined in organza also add a youthful vibe, as does an aviator jacket

WEATHER GIRLS: The persistent rain did not slow down the Dior couture show on Monday, with guests including Emily Blunt, Monica Bellucci, Willow Smith, Naomi Campbell, Erin O’Connor and Alexa Chung turning out for the event.
Guests flowed through the Musée Rodin and across a vast black-and-white checkered floor on the site’s lawn to access the show venue, itself wrapped in a mirrored checkerboard design.
Blunt shared tips on how to stay groomed in the rain. “I don’t know if it’s glamorous, but someone encouraged me to wear one of those awful plastic bonnets, so I was like, maybe we should bring those back and make them glamorous again and not considered an old lady trait,” said the actress who is enjoying taking out time for motherhood. “I’m going to try to squeeze in some exhibitions tomorrow,” she said.
“Umbrellas and wellies — wellies are glamorous, they really are,” said Arizona Muse, who revealed she’s working on a project for London Fashion Week with The Sustainable Angle, a not-for-profit organization that initiates and supports projects geared to minimizing the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
“We’re going to present a showcase demonstrating what designers can make using sustainable fabrics we source. I’ve selected the designers,

LOS ANGELES – Happy days are here again for the Kings.
Down 2-0 to the New York Rangers less than 7 1/2 minutes into the game, the Kings on Sunday scored three power-play goals in the second period and an empty-net goal in the third to defeat the Rangers 4-2 before a sellout crowd of 18,230 at Staples Center.
The Kings (25-17-5, 55 points) snapped their six-game losing streak. The victory seemed fueled by a fight between Kings forward Adrian Kempe and Rangers defenseman Brendan Smith at the end of the first. Smith was also called for roughing, so the Kings began the second on the power play.
Jake Muzzin scored his fourth of the season 30 seconds in, Michael Amadio scored his second at 6:13 and Tanner Pearson his ninth of the season at 10:22.
Those man-advantage goals off-set a power-play goal by New York’s David Desharnais 3:53 into the game and a goal by Jimmy Vesey at 7:12.
The Rangers fall to 24-19-5 (53 points).
“Credit to Adrian,” Kings coach John Stevens said of Kempe. “The kid he’s fighting over there is a pretty tough kid, been in the league for a while. Adrian stands up for himself. Anybody’s ever questioned the heart that kid has had, I’m not sure why, because he showed a lot of it.”
The fight between Kempe and Smith was not long. But Kempe could be seeing brushing his long hair out of his face during the brawl.
“Yeah, I couldn’t really see him, so I had to get my hair back again,” said Kempe, who is just 21. “So it was kind of funny.”
Trevor Lewis scored the empty-net goal with 18 seconds to play. It was his 12th.
Anze Kopitar, who had an assist on Muzzin’s goal, seemed relieved.
“Obviously, it’s big for us to come out and really get the win,” he said. “It really doesn’t matter how we got it.”
Kopitar agreed the fight between Kempe and Smith might have brought the team together.
“Yeah, I mean, it doesn’t matter who it is,” he said. “You get a freebie of a power-play like that in the end of the first period and you’re jumping on a fresh sheet of ice, you want to capitalize on it.”
The Kings out-shot the Rangers 30-23 overall, 12-6 in the second period.
“The second period was arguably our best period this year, so we’ve just gotta play more like that,” Kopitar said.
It was Saturday that defenseman Alec Martinez assured reporters that this team was not beginning to doubt itself, despite having gone from leading the Western Conference in points in December to having fallen out of a playoff spot with its 2-1 loss to Anaheim on Friday.
Martinez had two assists Sunday. He was in a much better mood than he was Saturday during his media session.
“I mean, it’s huge,” he said of the victory, the Kings’ first since Jan. 2 at Edmonton. “I think that there were a lot of things that went into this win. Obviously, the skid that we were on, we wanted to be a better team at home. We wanted to be a better power-play team, we wanted to play more of a 60-minute game.
“I think, obviously, we checked a couple of those boxes. As for the 60 minutes, I think we can still get better at that. I think that we had maybe a couple lulls. But, obviously, a huge win for the hockey club when you come off six in a row.”
The Kings are now tied for third place with Calgary in the Pacific Division. A third-place divisional finish guarantees a team a playoff spot.
There was more rough stuff near the end of the second period when the Kings’ Kyle Clifford and Rangers’ Vesey were given 10-minute misconducts after a whole lot of pushing, shoving and grabbing with others also involved.
“It’s an emotional game and sometimes that’s what you need to get a little jump. … We see that on the bench and that gets us fired up, too,” Martinez said.
The Kings have had one of the more anemic power plays in the league this season. It therefore seems ironic that they won this game that way. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault was bummed out about that.
“You know, they got people in front and they shot the puck,” he said. “We weren’t able to get our coverage in front of the net, and the pucks found their way to get in.
