Michael Van Der Ham's girls came down the catwalk with exuding confidence and purpose and sporting 1940s Hollywood waves showing the Dutch designer's collection to be a rich collage of glamour, femininity and fabric. Lush jacquard shimmered amongst colourful prints, with the silhouette remained resolutely womanly, and the palette optimistic. Van der Ham's signature layering of fabrics and textures was out in force, and the variety within the pieces kept the whole collection fresh and youthful while still elegant. The best part was being able to view a designer that seems to be really getting into his stride, as was obvious from such a strong collection.
