The audience was squeezed into a fake forest inside Bishopsgate Goods Yard with its own sushi bar and subjected to a Mitsubishi-sponsored car rally (which included models tied to the roofs of two jeeps wailing and screaming) before the show started. The surroundings (late at night, freezing cold, water dripping from concrete blocks above) complemented the austere but beautifully cut and created clothes. Expressionless, ashen-faced models walked - some of them barefoot, others with Jimmy Choo leather open-sided shoes and flat boots - slowly along the concrete catwalk. Skirts and dresses looking unfinished and unstructured feature multiple zips. Dresses fitted with angelic wing shoulder details appear alongside denim shirts with ruff collars. Anita Pallenberg looked wizen and wicked in a white tuxedo style suit which contrasts with the many shredded dresses in the collection. Silver detailing with all the shine of alluminium foil appears on these distressed but sexy pieces. While the colour palatte is subdued (denim blue, creams, black) the outfits aren't. The collection conjures images of a post-apocalyptic world inhabitated by devils, angels, ballerinas and besuited office workers.
