Erdem Moralioglu explored the idea of freedom and self-expression at his show with evening dresses fashioned out from decadent satin and lace. Maria Grazia Chiuri drew inspiration from dance at Christian Dior, where the dresses are cut and pleated into relaxed-fit ruffle frocks to reflect the flow and rhythm of music. Riccardo Tisci’s Burberry served us with short nighttime numbers that exuded an enigmatic sensuality.
