Engaging in novel textures to replicate dark florals and emulsion prints from last season, designers used various methods to convey their stories through their clothes. The juxtaposition between the gloomy shades and the luxe brought in by the metallic sheen created a dark surreal atmosphere.
A range of options were on display, from Brandon Sun, Doru Olowu, MSGM and Dolce & Gabbana’s lurex woven jacquard to Louis Vuitton’s lurex thread embroidery to Emilio Pucci, Alberta Ferretti, Erdem and Badgley Mischka’s embossed fabric printed with metallic foil.
Shades of silver, gold, copper, midnight blue and rust red were seen dominating the runways, with brighter hues staying on the backburner.
