With bright colours, especially bold pinks, reds and oranges, with vibrant, clashing prints, layers, frills and plenty of fabric walking down the runway, this was a show guaranteed to put you in a great mood!

We were enamoured by their entire collection! It was also a major plus that the designers booked mostly ethnic models to wear their designs complimenting their mesmerising designs.
