The final trip of the day to Victoria House saw Richard Sorger stage a dalliance with dark sensuality. An intimate show - the catwalk winding amongst the audience models strolling with a languorous determination – granted a vital close up glance at Sorger’s exquisite embroidery.
Long hair backcombed into dishevelment and a pale base make up, highlighting dark eyes, informed the dressed up darkness that characterized the show. A small collection of shift dresses, strong shouldered in a muted though never dreary palette of burgundy, gunmetal, lilac and black and fabricated in stiff silks provided sumptuous backing to appliqué and embroidery.
From afar a cobwebbed, lace pattern, a closer glance revealed a cluster flies swarming over bust and arm. Variations came one shouldered and roll necked, and a finale full length gown in lilac was interspersed with large scale flies in luxurious gold in a welcome juxtaposition of eveningwear and macabre.
