MSFW Designer Series 2

Designer Series 2 was a completely different story to the evening previous. Alice Euphemia, Arthur Galan AG, Carly Hunter, LIFEwithBIRD, Jayson Brunsdon, Manning Cartell, Thurley, and YB J`aime by Yeojin Bae showed off wearable everyday designs, with an overall more casual feel than the opening series. Not without highlights, Yeojin Bae really shone with gorgeous lace and prints in eye melting colours

He would leave cash on the bench, stockpiles of food in the fridge, and the television on - a wild luxury I couldn’t enjoy because fear had already moved in.
