As a model took to the runway in a chiffon pierrot style blouse with a billowing ruff-like collar, it became clear that, this season, Erin Fetherston was doing something a bit different from her usual pastel-coloured confections of cuteness. This collection had more in common with that Miu Miu collection than anything the designer has done before, though she quoted her inspiration as the tin soldiers in The Nutcracker and not Miuccia’s doll-like Kirsten Dunst campaign. Still, the elements were there – puffy lampshade-like skirts, bows and a darker colour palette than usual. Fetherston herself wore it best, taking her final bow in a huge black minidress.
