Wong Kar Wai's wife is a client of van der Kemp and his meeting with the director led to many talks of a potential collaboration, but in the meantime, a recent discovery of Wong's film 2046 inspired a part of this collection featuring soft florals and jewel tones which reflected the tones of the movie. "I love that there was a sense of nostalgia but also something futuristic about the movie," he says. 

Across town at Schiaparelli, Daniel Roseberry pieced together fabrics from previous collections to create some eclectic pieces of his own, like a denim jacket adorned with gold, surrealist anatomic plaques. Another stunning, fringed number was made from trash bags, a nod to Martin Margiela's trash bag collection; Margiela in turn was also inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli during his time. 

Roseberry's incredible, draped confections continue to impress, this time in vibrant gowns, and even a magnificent jumpsuit. A ruffled, metallic halo around a minidress was revealed to be made from eel leather, showing Roseberry's continued to dedication to experimenting with new fabrics.
