This show wasn't just a fashion extravaganza; it was a jubilant feast for the senses, a dazzling spectacle that embodied the very essence of fabulousness. It wasn't merely models striding down a runway; it was a symphony of life, an exuberant ode to passion, and a profound celebration of meaning.

Imagine being whisked away to the sun-drenched playground of Ibiza, where the creative minds and of Liz Mendez and Carly Hague, seasoned maestros of fashion, performance art, and styling, unveiled their effervescent ‘Eye of Kali’collection. This was a world where sunshine kissed your skin, exotic cocktails danced on your palate, and garments swayed with a watercolor of sublime hues, inviting you to play, lounge by the pool, or effortlessly embrace casual chic.

But it didn't stop at the fabrics. Enter Brighton-based painter Emma Stone-Johnson, whose canvases came to life on the very fabric itself, her brushstrokes a dynamic symphony of fluid lines and lyrical strokes. It was an artistic expression that transcended mere clothing; it embodied love, unity, creativity, and the very essence of self-expression.

And the crowning glory? Bespoke headpieces, crafted with an otherworldly touch by the visionary milliner-to-the-A-list, Piers Atkinson.
Behind the scenes, an alchemical team curated by the show's creators worked their magic. Makeup and hair artists painted heavenly faces and adorned models with wigs and hairpieces in a breathtaking array of :. Pink freckles, azure brows, two-toned  lips and cheeks that sang with vibrancy-it was an artist’s palette come to life.

And as the audience, models, and creatives backstage gathered in jubilant unison, a palpable feeling of togetherness and unbridled fun permeated the air.
Not too shabby for a debut collection, wouldn't you say?
