Erdem S/S 2016 LFW
Dreamy collection
Erdem's Spring Summer 2016 collection just showed LFW at the King’s Cross Theatre. Erdem today delivered a collection that was thrilling from beginning to end.The venue was with its section of railway track embedded in the stage and the show opened in half darkness behind black gauze curtains as a wagon loaded with girls in Edwardian-style dress rolled in. Canada-born Erdem Moralioglu, who has built a big following with his unabashedly feminine designs, showed dozens of ruffled and tiered dresses in intricate lace, floral patterns and delicate sheer fabrics. Hemlines graced the calf and necklines were often prim and high, though 'cold shoulder' cut-outs showed some skin. The effect was a bit of a mix of the Victorian governess and '70s flower child. The show finished with a series of beautifully crafted, almost couture-like gowns and structured evening dresses.
