Christmas party theme is "Paris High Fashion"... I am unsure how to proceed.

Searching the net for "high fashion" and similar criteria just gives me a really broad amount of data that runs from "fairly normal, business like" to "as weird as fashion can get". A friend of mine said that it generally means "Metro and slightly eccentric. Paris theme is usually black and red with polka dots or stripes for accent", but I have not talked to her in length about it for elaboration.
Would a black sportcoat/slacks + a striped tieless dress shirt fit this category?

Probably not. Are you guys in college? Is this a work party? The real answer would be haute couture clothes, only really viable if you are a millionaire playboy. http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/1486_couture/exhibition.php.
Unless you are all a bunch of art or design students who could jerry-rig your own outfits, she can't possibly mean real paris high fashion, so the next step is to figure out what she really had in mind when she said it.

It's a work party. And they're limiting us to Black & White.
Any suggestions? I am completely in the dark here. Thanks in advance.

What kind of place do you work at?

Dress like Karl Lagerfield. Hes more a New York fashion icon than Paris, but who there is going to know the difference? Works with the black and white theme too.

Not true. He's all over the TV and in the magazines here in France.
But yeah, I doubt anyone at your work has any clue what "Paris high fashion" is. That would be a pretty broad term even here. Just dress up with a little flair and you'll be fine.
I'm going to go shopping for this, since I don't even have a dress jacket, and all I have are business attire and casual clothes.
I... don't think I can pull off the Karl Lagerfield look.

Is this supposed to be a serious theme or "haha"?
I'd most likely end up looking like James Bond, if not going as him, in terms of attire.

Just as a test, I tossed "haute couture" (the French term for high fashion) into google images, and got a lot of European fashion show models, and a number of them work with the black/white restriction. Here are a few that do:

As with most things fashion related, it's easier on the guys than the gals...
