"It is always an honor to work with Jane Fonda, and for the AFI Life Acheivement Award, this look had to be an exceptional gown that allowed Jane, the icon, the actor, the humanitarian, the mother, the aurthor to shine through.   What a journey it has been through our many fittings, we saw how this exquisite custom Vera Wang gown emerged! Jane wanted a very classic black and white monochromatic look. Vera Wang sent sketches and we chose this black and white mermaid gown with silk tulle and charmeuse bodice accented by a silk gazaar skirt. It defines Jane's incredible figure. It was the perfect neckline for a Chopard white diamond collar necklace, white diamond cluster earrings set in 18-karat white gold, a princess-cut white diamond line bracelet and a floral white diamond ring. Jane complemented the look with a black satin, silver-trimmed Smythson envelope clutch and, of course, her Jimmy Choo's. Jane always knows when to and when not to push the boundaries with her style. This is the perfect chic, classic look to receive this highly esteemed award. It will be one for the archives!"
