Turns out the Filipino designer Ezra, known for his dreamy couture, still had a few surprises up his sleeve.
Midway through his show, snow started falling from the ceiling.
It created a starkly beautiful atmosphere for his intricately constructed gowns that seemed to be designed for an Ice Queen transported back to the 1950s.
He showed a collection that had a lot of technical firepower behind it: glittering iridescent fabrics paired with head and neckpieces that were moulded and stiffened to stand out in odd angles.
Ezra’s frequent collaborator Swarovski was present in all the pieces, most successfully in the long, fitted dresses.
There were also bridal gowns, which were accented by veils that came in charcoal black and royal blue. The drama!
These were clothes that made a statement and an exclamation point.
