Backstage at David Koma's show had an air of controlled chaos - final adjustments were being made, shoes fitted and the line-up rehearsed. Taking a closer look at the collection, theatrical elements such as glittery detachable collars met with futuristic looking dresses, with a colour palette that included black, white, blue and plum, with a few multicolour

An influence was apparently, Marchesa Luisa Casati, the Italian heiress, and this was apparent in the rich colours and ruffles. A modern twist came in the oval cut outs that appeared throughout, and high necks, which reminded me of a 1960s imagining of air hostesses of the future.
