Initial reaction:
Gone ravin’ in stomping boots and neon layers.
Invitation:
Neon orange – an indication of things to come.
Stand out looks:
The slatted dress in emergency orange revealing peeps of skin beneath, and the maroon, randomly gathered and sheer dress with bright blue sleeves that morphed into gloves.
Unexpected details:
Deconstructed shoulders and sleeves reattached with lacing, ties and bows on sharply cut suits, and the criss cross of braces over white shirts hinting at bondage.
Silhouette:
Subtly feminine, with the suggestion of corset shapes in amongst the layers of neon.
Hair:
Like powdered grey judges’ wigs, teased and torn and tied to the head, with wired plaits and schoolgirl bunches.
Shoes:
Masculine brogues for the formal looks, and neon Doc Marten-like boots for all those raving bright layers.
Prints:
A pixelated camouflage on loose shirt and skirt combos, buttoned once at the waist.
Model behaviour:
Yumi Lambert in the ‘Yamamoto Army’ finale of deconstructed shirts and suiting, eyebrows blanked out and a sweep of white shadow across the eyes and temples.
Left us wanting:
One or two of the final oversized shirts in orange, black or blue, belted in neon. A perfect distillation of the collection.
