A runway show is a peek into a designer’s worldview at any given moment. For now, it seems, the creative director of Collina Strada, Hillary Taymour, sees the world as a vampire. “Sipping slowly on our warmth and wonder, leaving us pale with longing for a better place. It's draining out there,” the show notes read at the brand’s February 11 show. Titled, ‘The World is a Vampire’, the FW26 show used vampires as a metaphor for how we’re withdrawing into “self-made sanctuaries”.
