The St Pancras Renaissance Hotel has played host to a number of cultural events, Spice Girls’ ‘Wannabe’ music video springs to mind. By contrast, this afternoon’s SS Daley SS23 show was a playground for all things fairytale - with a rare and touching ode to lesbian love.
Muffling the sounds of the underground rumbling beneath our feet, the show unfolded to a symphony of violins and classical music. The clothes - consisting of monochromatic tailoring, loose, flowing silhouettes and larger-than-life lapels - had a cheeky, youthfulness about them, like kids bundling downstairs in their pyjamas on Christmas morning.
