when Miss Havisham inspires....

Flashback Fashion Week Friday:

With the cinematic stunner Phantom Thread fresh on my mind, I found myself easily immersed in Bibhu Mohapatra's dramatic fall/winter 2018 show, in which the designer took his inspiration from the portraits Francesco Clemente painted for the film version of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations.

Bibhu explored the dynamics of love and loss, forgiveness and censure between Miss Havisham and Estella and sent models down the runway in contrasting textures, layers, patterns and prints and vibrant shades of red, merlot and plum to bring his vision to life.

Footnote: the shoes were by Christian Louboutin.

It was high on emotion, very berry, and very luxe.
