From the clothing to the make-up, there was a definite air of high drama within this collection, giving the show a theatrical stance to it. Composed of mainly sorbet colours, the designers created beautiful textures and managed to bring every colour of the rainbow to their highly impressive knitwear. Aesthetics wise, this collection is visually stunning. Loose fitting knitwear with innovative fringing was teamed together with one legged trousers, while one shouldered dresses with geometric printing and crochet knitted skirts all helped the label show off their ground-breaking ideas. The wearing of shorts and one-legged trousers can only be described as genius. It brought the fun and playful aspect to the collection, giving it a contemporary feel but still making it 100% wearable.

But it was not just the clothes that caused a stir at this show, the shoes oozed originality mixing the stripes on the straps with the polka dots on the heel. While make-up wise, the models sported multicoloured lips emphasising the diversity that the label is renowned for.
