The runway was a theatrical canvas of bold silhouettes and sculptural precision. Ceramic keyholes framed garments like portals into fantasy; starburst capes floated with celestial elegance; exposed, gold-dusted backs added a provocative twist, while the razor-sharp tailoring anchored the collection in strength and modernity (Source: Instagram/@la_privee_affaire)
Cardi B's second look was this Rahul Mishra cherry red dress with larger than life floral blooms adorning her back. Mishra's Couture Show hinged on the central theme of "Becoming Love" --inspired by the seven stages of love in Sufism. His collection beautifully articulated this transformation, be it through colour cuts and structured silhouettes. (Source: Instagram/@la_privee_affaire)
Tamara Ralph's collection wove geometric lines, delicate textures, and radiant accents into a soft winter white palette. Evoking the quiet sophistication of a snow-kissed dreamscape, each piece channeled feminine grace and enduring art deco beauty crafted to inspire. Steinfield opted for Ralph to attend the fashion week. (Source: Instagram/@haileesteinfield)
