Mood board: Chitose Abe took her signature hybrid wand and magically touched the world of outerwear, creating a jaw-droppingly original line-up of cloaks split with coats, cable knit sweaters morphing with ponchos, monster furs colliding with Harris tweed men's tailoring and leather motorcycle jackets that mingled with green knitwear, all to rousing effect.
Best in show: Truth be told, this entire collection was chock-full of winners, from the ski knitwear that morphed into flounced dresses, or the cable knit sweaters that bonded with mannish shirts to create kick skirted dresses. But the biggest bulldozer was the finale of men's trenches, cut into tent shaped coats that were trimmed in coloured fur puzzle piping.
Finishing touches: Even the footwear got hybrid treatment with a stomping hiking boot that morphed into an over-the-knee boot and trailed up the leg into a leather legging.
