Sass & Bide's promise of an 'ode to another time' - see obligatory show goer handout wielding poetic (ahem) phrases of inspiration - certainly catapulted expectations into the ethereal realm.
The chiffon tail coats floating behind the garments certainly played with the idea of a very feminine masculinity within luxe, structured tailoring. Suit jackets were treated to deep plunges of the neckline and trousers tiny petal shaped holes, so that the female form was constantly apparent through meticulously cut peep holes.
A palette of Grecian whites and golds soon felt the heat of neon orange, which gradually cooled into blacks and disco ball silvers. Texture, meanwhile, continued the marriage of gender as gentle feathers were offset against heavier shoulder detailing or metallic ribbing across backs.
The only show gripe? Using the Drive soundtrack transported the spectacle from otherwordly right back down to the catalogue of designers using Ryan Gosling's pouting tunes for their show ambience. With big name models touting the Australian duo's tailoring, they could have continued along more playful lines of the 'I Want Candy' pop ditty blaring out beforehand.
Happy Monday!
