THE INSPIRATION: Matador meets 1950s socialite in a return to the Golden Age of Dior.

TOP LOOKS: A floor-length grey gown brought to life by tiny, sparkling flowers embellished in pastel colours, layered tulle gowns in powder blue and lemon and wrap-around belts layered over pencil skirts accentuating the feminine shape.

WHO WAS THERE: Mario Testino, Azzedine Alaia, Spanish actress Elena Anaya.

WHAT WE THOUGHT: From the girly, gorgeous and volumised gowns to the sleek, sexy pencil skirts, the array of structured silhouettes is breathtaking. Horn shaped headpieces and feather hair accessorises only exaggerate and empower these flattering lines further.

Take a look at highlights from the show below.
