The collection comprises ten looks, presented in pairs. The waist is cinched and the hips are exaggerated throughout. Volumes are overblown but lightness is paramount. Hyper-worked embellishment demonstrates an obsessive attention to detail -- and detail within detail. Sharp pressing, multiple folds, quintuple and dégrade pleats, soutage embroidery, triple bulleting, silk and metal thread embroideries and more all feature. Rhombic grids lend a sense of graphic modernity to surfaces. Pearls and teardrop pearls evoke beauty and rarity. Hoop skirts, caging and corsetry enhance and idealise a quintessentially feminine silhouette and introduce an erotic undercurrent further suggested by lace incrustation and harnessing. Each look is worn with an embellished ruff: faces are framed.
