Sitting where I was at the show on Opening night, I was lucky to get my camera as close as possible to capture all the impeccable details of the garments the designers had to offer. We are Handsome's set of girls walked out fiercely to the sound of Coldplay's & Rhianna's Princess of China to ensure dramatic impact with their visors and statement swimwear. What a start to the show. By Johnny was sophisticated and playful at the same time - a nice mix of classic feminine structure with playful prints. My favourites included Bowie, it was the first time I ever viewed his collection but the detail was breathtaking, especially with the metal beads and ostrich feathers sitting on the shoulders.
The finale included a larger collection from Akira, which included geisha models walking in kimonos and grande silk dresses. They were equipped with amazing paper umbrellas as they walked under floating butterfly paper confetti. It was a dreamy, mystical and perfect end to the show.
