Bul ruled the runway with a contrasting collection of flowing fabrics and structured sets, the colour palette was seemingly neutral with black, white, and grey being used prominently, however there were splashes of burnt orange and pale green throughout the runway. It was a stunning collection and I was captivated the whole time, one of my favourites for the night.

Livia Arena came next with a clean but eye catching colourful runway, there was pale greys coupled with bright pinks and fluted finished dresses and skirts that swished down the runway, splashing bits of colour with them. As always there was plenty of black and white coupled with neutrals as well as stand out metallics. Navy Blue was a major part of Livia Arena’s collection this year.

Chorus was my personal favourite on designer runway 4, there was a breathtaking display of both colour and neutrals and the transition and pairings were seamless. The first model took to the runway appearing almost ethereal all in white and seemed to glide down the runway. Wide leg 3/4 pants were a standout for the chorus collection. There were plenty of bright pinks and oranges paired with classic black.

Limedrop

There was a real synergy with this collection and there was some beautiful cobalt blues featured that caught all the audiences eye.
