Now the shows are over, there’s a little time to reflect on some of the highs and lows. And we’re happy to report there were considerably more of the former than the latter.
As always though, it wasn’t just the clothes that caught our collective attention - this season, more so than ever before, the venue designs were every bit as compelling as the shows they hosted. Here’s our round-up of the beautiful and the bold...

Adam Kimmel’s A/W 2010 ‘Casino’ collection was inspired by the work of American artist and gambling man, George Condo.

Guests were led into the final show via the gallery entrance hall, where live security camera films of the ’Casino’ were projected; followed by a white-cube room - sparsely displaying a series of Kimmel’s trademark lookbook images - before ending up in the velvet roped-off main event, at the heart of the gallery.
