The designer who really stood out from the crowd was Yuvna Kim. Her esquiste evening gowns, which caused the audience to gasp, are beautifully made and are embroidered with crystals,beads and pearls. What was so special about this collection was not only the way it was made, but that the fabrics were sheer leaving the models half naked,revealing their bodies under neither or nude underwear. This could have gone horribly wrong, but Kim manages to make the dresses elegant, sophisticated and sexy all at the same time.

 

 

 

Other favorite looks were from Gianni Lilliu collection , which celebrates the female for and draws from the sculpt David Begbie’s studies of steel and bronze mesh. In particular a  gold and black baby dolls dress stood out, as well as the silhouettes and clean lines he managed to create with some great fabrics and materials throughout the collection.

 

 

 

Wajahat Mirza’s collection which was based on exotic birds also had some beautiful colourful and wearable evening gowns.

Sadly the thing that let down the show was the some of the too skinny models, which not only is a bad image to promote in the first place but it ruined the effect of the clothes, and instead of falling of the body as evening wear should it hung of them and didn’t show the clothes to their highest potential.

It is always good to see an events that champions young designers and Fashion International does it very well, putting on exiting events where the audience has a chance to mingle, meet the desingers and see some of the looks up close after the show over a glass of champagne.
