“This is a movement which I really feel connected with, where people were rebelling against society, creating their own spaces, speakeasies, and dressing for themselves – especially women,” Davis told WWD, explaining how cartoonist John Held Jr.’s 1920s artworks of women and men dancing in flapper dresses and zoot suits inspired the collection. On the runway, this could be seen from Anok Yai – who opened the show – walking in drapey, precision-tailored suiting tied with a fringe belt, to Alex Consani, who modelled a reimagined flapper dress made with bandaged yellow fabric that cut-out over the stomach and flowed behind her as she walked.
