Yahoo Style has done the world a favor and written down the dress code on an invite for a party during New York Fashion Week hosted by Marc Jacobs. It's for the release of a book about notorious 1970s-era fashion photographer Chris Von Wangenheim called Gloss. The dress code for the party really, really spells out what is and isn't acceptable. Here it is, and Yahoo Style transcribed it in all caps per the invite:

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, ROGUE, 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.

For every attendee without a rollerina chic outfit ready to go, consider this the ultimate shopping list.
