Models walked down a bright pink and yellow striped catwalk while a video installation by Italian artist Elena Bellantoni played on huge screens.

Called ‘NOT HER’, the installation featured a rotating roster of feminist slogans ranging from the serious (‘I am not only a mother, wife, daughter. I am a woman.’) to the ironic (‘Save your marriage, iron properly’).placeholder image

The black ensembles ranged from structured coats and ladylike off-the-shoulder midi dresses to vampy lace gowns and tasseled skirts.

Reflecting the feminist art theme, there were plenty of practical coats and jackets for everyday wear, plus a myriad of white shirts, including one-shoulder varieties.

There was also a grungy sensibility too with mohair sweater dresses, tie-dye dungaree dresses and chunky, flat lace-up boots.

The beauty look – scraped back hair and a diffused plum lip – gave a chic-goth kind of vibe.
