Mood board: Rodarte's signature brand of quirky, eccentric chic took a sexy and luxurious turn this season with buttery leather, feather trim and fur all getting a look in. Designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy were inspired by the migration of birds when putting together the collection, which was filled with a bevy of 1980s favourites, including chandelier sleeves, leather leggings, and lots of crystals and sequins, to ensure that the underlying disco message rang loud and proud.
Scene setting: As per usual, Rodarte's set featured an imaginative use of fluorescent tubes to create a moody, atmospheric runway. Bureau Betak mixed branches of foliage in with the coloured lighting to create an industrial, yet fragile post-apocalyptic feel.
Team work: To complement the immense detailing in the collection, make-up artist James Kaliardos applied lines of Swarovski crystals under the models' eyes by hand. The resulting glimmer was subtle, yet entrancing and the perfect expression of the label's artistic spirit.
