It was a heady mix of glamour with long sleeved satin dresses - belted in tiny leather threads of neon - recalling early Sixties demure shapes, Seventies glam rock referenced by stiff silver and gold jackets embroidered with comic book stars and day-glo details that shone straight out of the Eighties. But the brilliance of Miuccia's work is that none of these are literal references - they're made so modern and new that they're barely references at all and everything is as it never has been before.
Dresses came in blocks of red, black and silver - or one entirely of electric blue that was simply gorgeous - and came straight to below the knee or featured pleats below the waist. They were followed by kilts of metallic gold and silver leather or day-glo yellow that were surely the brightest pieces we've seen.
There was a dark message in the presentation, the venue entirely blacked out unless the girls were walking by - the irregular red, white and black boarded catwalk reflecting the colour blocks of the dresses - one black and white silk one had a serpent sliding up it, while metallic leather jackets - that were a hybrid of Elvis Presley in Vegas with grown-up bolero - and square tunic tops had hyper real flowers embroidered across them.
