Defining decadence as, “the excess, the artifice, the decay”, Galliano showcased an artful representation of chaotic visuals beautifully melded together by traditional hand embroideries, feather fronds and reflective fabrics coupled with a mirrored runway. As always, a delightful, kaleidoscopic sensory overload.

Celebrating the magic of femininity, Elie Saab showcased a beautiful array of corals, complemented in this look by a delicately placed assortment of florals on the bodice. While seemingly delicate and airy, the look is cleverly paired with a powerful cape to provide extra punch.
