Dr Zhivago and the romance of love in a time of revolution sparked Marras’ inspiration for his Catwalk shows. The collection showcases the majesty of tapestry inspired folkloric tales and Bolshevic austerity. He juxtaposes the peasant with the palace – patchwork fur and sequins are quilted together to create a collection of distinct contrasts. The layered knits and fine rose printed fabrics are adorned with chunky bangles, oversize cabochons and statement neckpieces.

Lavish detailing and embroidered folk costume unleashed a fairytale like magic in Galliano’s Russian-Balkan inspired collection. Peasant blouses, bodices, puffed sleeves and pom-pom trims dominated the scene. Coin head dresses, rosary chain and medusa like medallions were lavishly layered and all contributed to the opulent escapism that transported us to a place far away.
