Taking to the catwalk last night, which was lavishly lined with lavender for the occasion, fantasy ball gowns fit for a fairytale took centre stage.

Among the highlights in a showcase in which excess came as standard were neon pink dresses, cut from mille-feuille layers of tulle and slashed thigh-high at the front, along with voluminous ruffled turquoise confections.

A firm favourite among a new generation of high-paying clients, this was contemporary couture for young starlets with a burning desire to stand out on the red carpet.

Feathered fancies also featured high on the agenda, from marabou-trimmed stilettos to tweed jackets and floral gowns furnished in plumage.
