Behind the scenes at Botter’s SS23 show, Dazed’s fashion director, Imruh Asha, was tearing condoms from their packets and filling them up with blue gloop. Bobbing from the wrists of models, it almost looked as though this season’s cast had come up the Seine in a bubble – if that pollution soup, foaming with god knows how many metric tons of plastic, had been dyed a Caribbean azure. Inside the former-nuclear bunker venue, Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter were penning a hymn to the sea, complete with aquamarine scuba-suiting, rhinestone dolphins, and languid, linen day suits.
