This collection is inspired by the galactic and steel architectural structures from the Middle East Qatar. The ancient Egyptian cat in gold also sets the a theme of opulence which is evident within the collection by way of richly embellished dresses and pants with studs, diamonds, beading and sequins, often all combined in the one piece.

•

Softly cracked gold and black leather jeans and lazer-cut gold leather jackets with unusual shapes and graphical elements are strong. Also, knee-length, dress-style button-through coats with decoration and elements of armoury and luxurious mohair tops are key.

The central piece for the season features a mandarin-style collar shift dress with sequins and diamond studs in a gold sateen fabric with exaggerated shoulder and pleating detail. This is styled with sparkly gold tights and metallic gold Doc Martin boots.
