British designer Alice Temperley, who launched her eponymous collection in 2000, is known for her impeccably constructed quirky creations. In recent seasons the London-based Temperley has shifted from a traditional runway show to unique multimedia presentations.  For Fall 2010 Temperley has created a ingenious installation entitled “True British,” which she will present this evening at Milk Studios. Her latest designs will be shown alongside original photographic prints by the late Norman Parkinson and a series of new photographic artwork of modern iconic British women. GlamChic caught up with Temperley to talk about her current inspirations, restaurant obsessions, and the last thing she Googled. ~Nola Weinstein
