Initial reaction: 

A modern day vampy bohemian clothed in 21st century finery. The Emporio Armani girl this season layers up Ikats, perforated leathers, patchwork furs and other rich textiles in darkened jewel tones effortlessly.

Tactile touch: 

Fabrics that feel more at home in a home have been chintzing their way around the shows this season. Armani’s take on the trend was to contrast the richness of fur-edged scalloping, fluffy angora and two tone brocade with a nonchalant kicky silhouette to lighten proceedings. Traditional Ikats were blown up and distorted to resemble graffiti. 

How they wore it: 

Short dishevelled wavy jet black hair that felt like a cross between Otto Dix's Portrait of Sylvia von Harden and evil Nancy in The Craft, and a dark burgundy lip that was best seen on the trio in glinting black, who slinked and vamped their way down the runway as a finale.
