Designers Zandra Rhodes and Marios Schwab can be counted on for their trendsetting, out-there designs. Nat Weller is the just-as-hip son of “modfather” Paul Weller. I recently came across the film Chapter 7: Eat Your Chiffon - which captures these three surreally stylish individuals in conversation - and was thoroughly impressed.

The film, produced by Glass Loves, shot by Ben Charles Edwards at Rhodes’ penthouse, and based on Eat Your Makeup and Chapter 7 of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, centers around a dinner party at which Schwab, Weller, and other artsy guests chat candidly. This forward-thinking piece is unique in that it acts as a visual art installation and a documentary at once. And the best part? It’s only the first in a series of similar “dinner party art films” available online.

To capture the surrealist, mad-tea-partyish feel of the film and the truly unique designers featured, try these looks from LAMB and Versace. Or, learn more about Rhodes and her art in Zandra Rhodes and the Art of Textiles: A Life Long Love Affair.
