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.

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.
