In saturated Seventies tones, the shoes were the transforming piece, popping seemingly simple colour palettes out of their comfort zones and making the classic New Look silhouette dice with the edginess of an SnM club.

The Spray On Psychedelia Pattern was an all-over affair, as graphic swirls in off-kilter colour combos clung to the models. The tight, fine jersey bodies were, in many cases, layered-up with smart tailoring, making the overall look even more of a statement.

The Most Luxed-Up Rainmacs We’ve Ever Seen Classic couture needlework looks totally fresh when applied to a plastic mac, doesn’t it? Raf Simons’ modern spins just kept on coming…

The Stardust Jumpsuits Ziggy eat your heart out. As Moonage Daydream played, a series of loose sequin jumpsuits emerged. Now THIS is what we secretly hope someone will rock at the Oscars next month.
