Erdem Moralioglu returned to the National Portrait Gallery with this lavish, embellished collection that took its cues from the young Cecil Beaton, in particular on his early years when Beaton was a boy discovering photography, dressing up his sisters and posing them against dramatic, homemade sets.
The collection was an homage to Beaton’s glam, aristo looks and the collection was nothing less than rich, with tailored suits with perky peplums and sculptural swing coats, fabrics with textural heft, saturated floral prints, flower print Forties style dresses and a lot of layers, gloves, shiny shoes and overwhelming feathers, pattern and texture.
