Beginning with a performance --- the
Dominic Louis for Jermaine Browne unisex brand-of performance driven dance wear---was shown properly. Moving-on humans.
We then moved ourselves onto the main event-a presentation featuring the flowing shapes, raw and finished edges of the neutral toned S/S 2012 RTW by Creative Director Louis Mairone.
At a quick glance-it looked like the continuation of an art project-but there are distinct looks here with a distinct point of view"...the idealist concept of Euphoria..." to quote the run of show. Kinda feels like a dose of Mad Max in the mix.

| Hand Knit Tank, Linen Trouser |
Linen, raw silk, hand knits and linen...in neutral tones...
thought these were interesting accessories-leather belts (?)-wrapped like a sandal upper.
CODA:
Right outside---
These ladies had enough-of standing on their feet at least---3 chairs for the taking---we loved their shoes but understood their misery, feet-wise.
