While hemlines were (mostly) down at By Johnny, the young designer’s print quotient was up. The former saw flouncy skirts fall to just below the knee on the lofty models (so probably a demure midi-length on mere mortals). The latter came in varied forms; striped, lace, geometric and neo-tribal prints all had a run. When not simply acting as a canvas for Johnny Schembri‘s way with patterns, pieces were spliced in block colours running curvaceously down the body.
Perennial fashion week favourite Romance Was Born capped off a long first day with a good dose of their expected eccentricity in near-indescribable style. But let’s at least try to go on Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett‘s trip with them shall we? First, there was the staging; apparently the Easter Bunny manages to hop all the way to Mars. Then, be-wigged models appeared to have sprouted antennae backstage. As for the clothes, there were kicky shoe and fob-watch motifs, sequins fashioned into Lucy-in-the-sky-with-diamonds-style scenes and hallucinogenic prints. It was Alice in Wonderland meets Marvin the Martian meets Peggy Moffit as Romance Was Born effortlessly provided a kooky (and necessary) refresher as MBFWA moves into day two.
