Dear Shaded Viewers,
Imagine Louise Brooks on LSD getting shipped out to a distant galaxy and you will have the gist of Manish Arora's collection. I don't think I had ever seen such an explosion of colour, print and sequins on a runway before and loved his sculpted dresses and patchwork coats. As the designer came out for the finale, he looked as happy and upbeat as the clothes.
Best,
Philippe
