VIN + OMI SS17 LFW

SS17 sees the designers move away from film costumes and focus on their ready-to-wear collection, which the designers have named The Dreaming.

High-end retail garments were showcased in this collection amid  some of their renowned signature OTT outfits.

The dynamic design duo cast a stellar group of celebrities to walk the runway this season, the most the label has ever included in a fashion show, including double Olympic gold medal winner Nicola Adams MBE

Titled Colourotic, Vin + Omi combined colour with the erotic.

They wanted to explore colour so worked closely with CND nails to bring a range of their nail colours to life on the catwalk.

These colours were also carried through to artistically sculptured nails and wigs dyed with the nail varnish.

 Running alongside the colour theme was an underlying futuristic look of how street culture and high society will mesh together - but not on this planet!

The past few months, Vin + Omi have been working intensely as commissioned designers and makers on the Ab Fab film providing a range of outfits for the character Bubble, played by actress Jane Horrocks. So it was apt that Jane should be chosen to close the show.

DJ, model & TV presenter Vogue Williams also walked the catwalk

All the fur is fake as can be and the feathers are a by product of ethically reared farm stock.

Vin + Omi state that no models were harmed in this production (although one poor male model fell to his knees twice due to his incredibly high heels) - they have all been encouraged to eat!
