1. SYRA J

Syra J’s final runway look was a red and blue two-piece teamed with a ruffled neckpiece combining colour, texture, and dimension. It was a true showstopper that perfectly embodied the collection’s name, “Whisper of Winter Floral Tales.” The use of tulle on the skirt and the embellishments on the top perfectly create the illusion of a flower while not being too obvious.

2. MALAN BRETON

During a time when ballgowns might be more suited to weddings, red carpets or galas, this statement dress has a fairytale shape and petticoat design with a modern twist. The two different patterned materials added dimension and depth, creating a more layered look that adds drama.

3. BURBERRY

Dresses and skirts no longer have to be worn in pure form and can benefit from layering, as done in this look. A simple flowing skirt with a slit is made more daring with the tartan bodice; pairing it with flat shoes and the leather jacket complements the bodice and contrasts with the tulle skirt, making it more edgy.

4. BARRUS

This mustard-coloured dress is the perfect look for any occasion. The bodice details with the draped sleeves would look sophisticated enough for a special occasion, but the skirt’s shape means that it can also be worn on a day-to-day basis.

5. MALAN BRETON

In contrast to the previous piece (#2), this dress uses the same colours but exudes different vibes given the much lower neckline and sharp lines. Although it is still elegant with the bow belt, the pop of red from the inside of the dress couple with the slit adds some sexiness to the look.

6. AXUM

AXUM focuses on bold patterns influenced by African culture. The top combines many elements, from a plunging neckline, halterneck design, and corset detailing. The layers on the bottoms hark back to the days when rah-rah skirts were all the rage, emphasizing the model’s body shape with the waistline.

7. SIMONE ROCHA

On the surface, the look seemingly uses quite standard pieces, including a shirt and blazer piece. However, the styling adds shape, style, and impact to what could easily be worn to work. The tulle overlay adds subtle femininity to an androgynous image, adapting it to a more formal occasion, especially when teamed with the right accessories.

8. APU JAN

With spring just around the corner, this beautiful dress is the perfect combination of white and different shades of pink, almost mimicking a blossom pattern. The traditional Chinese tailoring and shape looks elegant and sophisticated, making it the perfect outfit for any occasion.

9. SYRA J

A well-tailored suit is a must for any wardrobe and pairing it with a bikini-style top adds sexiness to the sophisticated details seen in the rest of the look. The pops of colour with the patterned material that feature in the top, blazer, and pants add extra dimension and create cohesion throughout the entire outfit.

10. BARRUS

Although Barrus’s two-piece might be for the more daring fashion lover, the exposing lace looks extremely elegant due to the cape-cardigan detail and the positioning of the pants. Separately, the pieces could be worn to suit different occasions and paired with other items to make them more suitable for a wider audience.

11. RICKYY WONG

Suits are a staple part of anyone’s wardrobe but can sometimes be bland and basic. While the burgundy colour is unique in itself, the white strip accent makes it stand out, and adds another dimension to the oversized nature of the blazer and pants.

12. INDIA DAY

The India Day runway presented a black dress with an a-line fit and instantly made it glamorous with a beautifully intricate white and gold cat embellishment. The dramatic tulle overlay adds an extra dimension to the dress, turning it from a perfectly gorgeous going-out dress to something that wouldn’t look out of place on the red carpet at a Hollywood premiere.

13. BARRUS

While keeping a smart and professional cut for the bodice, via the resemblance to a waistcoat, the light tulle material of the skirt with the floral patterns creates something more mystical by combining textures.

14. MALAN BRETON

Fashion is no longer restricted by gender, and this outfit is the perfect example of how material, shape, and design can be vital in making something for everyone. The top is a shirt with two contrasting fabrics to add dimension, but the lace adds elegance and some sexiness.

15. SIMONE ROCHA

A simple two-piece outfit can be made special by colour and texture, as seen perfectly with the gold speckles in the black material. The skirt shape is unique and won’t fit everyone’s tastes, but using the same material as the top gives the illusion of being one piece. On the surface, it gives off Coco Chanel vibes, but Simone Rocha has ensured the overall look has its own identity, especially with the statement belt, bag, and boots.

16. AHKEKE

Sometimes it can be tough to pull off a three-piece suit with the same colour and texture, but Ahkeke’s design makes it look effortless. Without a shirt, it adds sexiness and the oversized nature of the fit oozes androgynous vibes, making it perfect for anyone to wear and to customize as they please.

17. ZIDI

This look is not for the faint-hearted and combines bold colours, patterns, and textures. Despite the many things going on in the outfit, the four colours used throughout the top, bottoms and accessories create cohesion, and the zips and buckles add some edginess whilst balancing out the bold coat.

18. ERDEM

Black and white are a classic colour combination but can seem boring. ERDEM ensured this wasn’t the case through the design, shape, and embroidery. Although the baggy nature of the outfit might not be for everyone, the intricate floral details make it fashionable and comfortable.

19. ANGUS TSUI

The statement top in the look is something ready for the catwalk but also casual wear, through utilising a basic shape but adding some flair with the slits and contrast in colours. By finishing the outfit off with boots that blend into the pants, the illusion of it being one piece allows for the top to be the focus.

20. BURBERRY

While most of this outfit is one colour, the pieces are anything but bland with the dark accents, details and pockets adding more layers and dimensions. The shape, style, and fit of the pieces and make them perfect for everyone, hitting back at gender stereotypes to create something casual and comfortable, but fashionable.

21. PEARL ACADEMY

Black can sometimes seem boring, but at the Pearl Academy we saw something mysterious and interesting with the shape and encrusted belt. The cape is very dramatic and the red lip embellishments added the perfect pop of colour that matched the belt, to make the outfit stand out even more.
