S
omerset fashion designer Alice Temperley said her latest show was inspired by the Renaissance movement.
She took centre stage at London Fashion Week on Saturday night in front of a host of celebrities.
Alice, daughter of Kingsbury Eposcopi cider brandy producer Julian, put on the extravagant catwalk display at the Institution of Civil Engineers in Westminster.
She said: “Not only was I inspired by the sumptuous colours and decadent subjects of the religious paintings and tapestries of the time, but also the meaning of the word; creative re-awakening and re-birth. In this fast, transient world a little decadence is like a tonic, a romantic escapism.”
The Temperley show featured Russian-style fur hats made from reclaimed fox fur, and heavily embellished gowns.
She added: “This collection is one of my favourites, it’s very colourful and rich.
“We are in our tenth year, which is very exciting.
“As a woman it’s important to feel comfortable, the dresses may be ornate but you have feel like you’re not wearing anything. Girls have tits and arse and you have to work around that.”
Among the celebrities on the front row were a heavily pregnant Peaches Geldof, singer Pixie Lott, model Jade Parfitt and actress Minnie Driver.
