What about colour? which show had the best palette? “Albus Lumen – neutral desert tones have never looked so cool. The simplicity of the designs left me yearning for a Georgia O’Keefe interior and of course, I must own one of those kerchief headscarves.”

Which show’s Values and brand message resonated with you most? “Karla Spectic really inspired me with her show’s message. She showed us how we can love fashion in an environmentally responsible manner which was really cool. Recycle your bubble wrap into a trench coat. Here’s to sustainable fashion.”
