KEY POINTS:
My eyes are still smarting with pleasure from what was a spectacularly theatrical show from World - nothing less that what we've come to expect from the label. All That Glitters might well be the best way to describe it.
Heavy jewel-toned coats dripped with black fur trims, adding an ironic twist to otherwise conservative styles and a beige harem pantsuit.
The sexy starkness of a red and black skirt suit was also reminiscent of Adam Ant's new romantic style. Larger than life bow ties around the neck of each model added to World's characteristically tongue in cheek styling.
Lollipop cherry and turquoise in the collection playfully contrasted with mustard and brown. The pop art colours intensified to fluoro proportions in silky dresses with flatteringly draped back details.
The persistent cartoon-like character of the collection climaxed with a stream of strictly fitted skirt and pantsuits, which appeared as though they'd been dipped into a pool of blinding crystals.
Bling-encrusted tulip skirts, waistcoats and tux jackets were paired with space age silver shirts. A grand high priestess semi circular headpiece, along with crystal laden glasses added to the drama that just kept flowing down the runway.
It was an entirely provoking concoction of dominatrix meets polished matriarch.
