Commencing the show with an unusual start as the first model ascended from the crowd in a Westernised oriental dress fully embroidered with intricate detail complimented by hair stapled flat with hundreds of clips, then meeting another "passenger" half way along the catwalk portraying a modern twist on lower class dress encountering the glamorous upper class passenger with eccentrically fringed shoulder pads in a military type flapper style.

With a surprising next outfit focusing once again on the structural elements of the garment, a circular dome like architecture encaging the model trapped in the creation with minimal features otherwise took the industrial inspiration too literally in comparison to the rest of the collection.

 

Garments quickly followed most of which featured a constant signature in wide fringing detail from the upper shoulders to the small of the back, this revisited the initial direction portrayed in the production of the catwalk.

Again using a variety of different fabrics and shapes to capture the assortment of passengers travelling by Oriental Express, the story lacked a flowing colour palette from one outfit to the next however the innovation using my personal favourite trend of fringing was by far the best feature.

With a few knits ambivalently thrown into the mix with a stand out all white dress rouched and laced captured the glamour of the higher class goddess of chic seen in black and white movies of the past with a modern structural twist, the collection altogether showcased some fabulous statement pieces however could have gained spectacular status having produced a clear handwriting throughout.
