Inspired by the aggressive facial piercing,sharp penciled eyebrows and curled hair style of the Latin street gangs Chola, and his personal obsession with
everything Victorian since childhood,Ricardo Tisci presented a collection which
was a narration of his love for a world filled with black, where edginess of
Goth blends with the eccentricity of the street culture. The “Victorian-Chola
Girl” of Tisci is fiercely Goth in her tailored and ornate pieces.
Dark yet sensually beautiful, the designer offered sleek jackets, paired
with equally super slim trousers, some edged with interesting red piping,
velvet dresses, printed numbers, including one with peacock prints. The jackets,
reminiscent of the ones worn by the Victorian men, came in various versions, including
peplum and tailcoats. Frills, ruffles, pleats, corsets, furs and smocking,
added an element of diversity to the collection.
For the evening, Tisci’s girl wore a long fluid column gown embellished
with beads – seductively romantic yet fascinatingly dark. And, yes, the
highlight of the show was definitely the embellished facial jewels and the
septum nose rings-menacingly beautiful.
