With the opening night parties for the San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Symphony seasons behind us, we’re taking a look at some of the gala fashions that seem to define the style of the season. We are struck, in particular, by the way guests wore black, white and variations thereof (with accents of silver and gold), to dramatic effect.
