Like that Incubus song (sorry) where he sings, the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket, the clothes at Nicole Farhi resembled that of diamonds as sequins twinkled under the afternoon sun of the Royal Opera House’s glass roof.
Watched by a heady mix of fashion celebs on the front row (Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld and Bill Nighy – I’m serious), Farhi’s summer pallet contained a dewy mix of pastels and all things floaty.
Halfway through the show we realised that from where we were standing we could see the cusp of the backstage area. The unique vantage point showed us Nicole Farhi herself adjusting the clothes of the models before they hit the catwalk, last minute hair tweaks and makeup touched up.
It also included models mistaking a wall for a door -
The colour white blended into metallics and silver towards the climax of the show and though none of the clothes were of any surprise, summer hung in the air as we pulled on our winter coats and wished for July again.
