Excessive glamour was the order of the day for Jenny Packham’s fall assortment, which neatly picked up the place her pre-fall left off: reveling within the glitter and hedonism of the Seventies. “I used to be serious about David Bowie final time, which led me on to Starman and all of it received a bit cosmic,” she mentioned. Other than the primary gown within the assortment—a showstopping robe in a shade of acrylic-nail pink embellished with grids of sq. sequins and bugle beads, with extra of a straight-down ’60s silhouette, the designer was loosely impressed by Anjelica Huston—this was all-out ’70s decadence, with a Packham twist.
As ever, her work with crystals and sequins shone (each figuratively and actually). A sweeping liquid gold robe featured energy shoulders and chunky crystals on the neckline, the latter cascading down the gown like a meteor bathe and dissipating into sequins of more and more finer proportions. A playful black crepe quantity with a excessive neck was embellished with bursts of stars on every shoulder usual from golden shadow crystals. A very fairly robe minimize from a silvery diaphanous tulle was layered with additional crystals and sequins over the layers of ruched sheer cloth, like a gauzy constellation of stars sheathing the night time sky.
“The clothes that make up this galaxy of favor aren’t made to glitter for one night time, however to shine on without end,” Packham wrote within the notes accompanying the gathering. Decade-hopping her designs is perhaps, but it surely’s their timelessness that has earned her such a fiercely loyal clientele—and it’s not arduous to think about how these items will grasp in her prospects’ closets for a lot of extra a long time to return.
