From draped white lace dresses to embroidered velvet dress-coats, The Grand Dame revived and reimagined classic Victorian and Edwardian silhouettes via punkish slogans, eye-popping hues and clashing brocades (not to mention a few strategically-placed fig leaf prints). Ghost world: Said to be inspired by “the children of our world throughout the ages” Westwood’s SS15 offering had a sinister, supernatural feel. In addition to the off-kilter silhouettes, models sported smudged red lipstick, messy ringlets tied with velvet bows or, in the case of Alex Wek, bright-blue eyeshadow that gave the impression of a living doll. Heads up: Hats were a standout this season. Created in collaboration with famed London couturier Prudence Millinery, looks were topped off with ruched satin bonnets, bright bucket hats, frilly lace fascinators and oversized upside-down baskets strewn with fabricated flowers and colourful ribbons.
