The runway, AGAIN set in the Rodin Museum was draped in another Roff Simmons structure in the gardens of white flowers hung from the ceilings and created a wonderful setting for the days show. The designer took inspiration from the Eighteenth Century French court, Edwardian Tailoring through to the modern day.
The show began from the end, showing ball gowns in pure white with fine beading and delicate sowing. Gowns where three quarter instead of full length and worn with slimmer, sportier tailored tops in fine silk then accessorised with silver, chunk bangles. Every detail carefully thought of to bring the modern day tailoring but a classic French theme running through. 
The second set showed more of a minimal, tailored collection in dull Greys, Blacks and Olive Greens with accents of Reds, Greens and Blue's to bring the tailoring a modern twist. Coats in mink, chinchilla and cashmere draped over models such as Kendall Jenner and layered the collection with glamour. The models wore simple minimal makeup keeping the focus on the clothing, all the way down to the flat shoes casually strolling the runway. The last section showed Eighteenth century inspired coats in embroidered pastels, with a heavy number of dark Navy and Pea Green coats with tailored and exaggerated shoulders to compliment the structure. All in all the collections was a well rounded couture collection and brought together by the colours and details used within the garments.
This collection shows a history of fashion coming through to the modern day by tailoring, colour and detail.
