Oversized meringue-like layers on shoulders and sleeves gave the show a theatrical feel, with restrictive zip up funnel necks on extravagant dresses that were daringly OTT. The tattooed models walking to the beat of jazz band covers of Crazy in Love wore adorned bodices and winged bustiers, whilst sheer chiffon and silk paneling on floor length gowns were beaded in black, covered in sequins, bows, bugles or crystals.
