Scene setting: Erdem Moralioglu enlisted the help of set designer Robin Brown to resurrect his A/W muse’s fictional 1960s Parisian pied-à-terre within London’s Old Selfridges Hotel after seeing a similar installation that Brown recreated for Frieze Masters.
Mood board: His fictitious art collector’s clothes drew from the bolthole’s faded wallpapers that were brought to life with metallic treads, while the set’s evanesce glamour was seen through his raw edged seams.
Best in show: The designer’s laser-cut leather peplum skirt suit and his floating ostrich feather floral dresses that were cut close to the figure at the front, yet possessed a Cristóbal (Balenciaga)-era couture swing to the back.
