Scene setting: Bright lights, red bricks and a wrought iron ceiling defined the industrial environs of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel's Hansom Hall that together with the show's trumpeting soundtrack welcomed us to Hardy Amies' space race.
Mood board: Creative director Mehmet Ali's spring launch pad was founder Sir Amie's mission to Hollywood (and in turn outer space), where he designed costumes for Stanley Kubrick's 1968 epic science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Best in show: The meeting of high-tech utility wear with traditional tailoring, whereby double-breasted suits were styled under spacey anoraks, merging the old with the new, heritage with technology. Also of note, materially speaking: Ali's safety orange hued seersuckers 'filtration rib' tailoring, aeronautic boiler suits and zipper pocketed vests modelled after test pilot garb, along with Ali's laser cut grid patterns that ran the gauntlet of the collection.
