Featuring utilitarian looks with elevated offerings from the collection, the textiles mainly feature black floor-sweeping tuxes with billowed sleeves.

Using an intricate silk embroidery technique, floral patterns were embodied on a varied set of looks, as a futuristic element adorned the show, catering to an inspired audience who’ve waited in anticipation for the brand’s couture offerings.

Familiar faces including the step-daughter of Kamala Harris walked the runway with a small live audience which included the likes of Kanye West, Bella Hadid and other notable personalities.
