This season the dynamic duo created beautifully beaded gowns that were made unique by the addition of metal breast plates and metallic and leather chokers. Surprisingly the metal hardware, which was also showcased as peplum belts, complemented each piece perfectly.

The contrasting quality textile worked in harmony to complement the constructions of the pieces. Leather, lace and feathers were on display in richly dark hues like jade, plum, burgundy, metallic and black, which was seen in various gowns, pants and body-con dresses.

Several of the gowns were paired with long duster coats in luxurious patterns, while other bold designs had “Wild Child” inscribed on the backs or fronts. The accent pieces were just as important as the garments itself. Leather gloves paired with gowns isn’t a foreign concept, as it’s a staple in the couture collection of Stephane Rolland, however Falguni & Shane Peacock’s use of metal chokers and leather gloves further emphasized the infusion of fashion with the rock and roll culture. The 3D prints stayed true to the brands typical aesthetic but the edgy motorcycle twist seemed to diminish the glamorous elegance seen in previous seasons.
