Perfect chiffon pleats, meanwhile, were trapped over the hips and broke out into fullness below. A black velvet coat swung in movement to reveal that its lining is discreetly-but entirely-encrusted with hand-beaded pink pansy blooms. The same silver foil that heats a weary marathon runner was plaited and woven and plumped with air to create a light-as-thistledown ball-gown skirt, worn with a black velvet sweater licked with glossy black plumes. “You can wear it zipped down when you visit your banker, no?” said the designer during a preview, “and zipped up when you see your lover after!” The narrow sleeves unzip to the perfectly defined shoulder, too, revealing silk and chiffon linings quilted by hand to resemble the signature Chanel purse-a refinement that only the wearer would appreciate.Īnd the refinements don’t stop there: Those unzipped skirts reveal a crusting of embroidery on the miniskirt beneath.

And it makes you wonder: ‘how does that cupcake taste?’. It’s like giving you the most delicious cupcake and then hiding one behind a glass wall you can see it, but can’t touch it.
