Lako Bukia showed at 7.30PM on Monday. It was an elegant collection with grace but nevertheless, full of attitude. Set to a soundtrack of remixed Lana Del Ray and distorted electro sounds, towering models with futuristic war-paint makeup of thick geometric eyebrows wore a mash-up of 70s, minimalist and fetish references. Inspired by the Georgian superstition that breaking mirrors brings bad luck, tailoring such as shirting, jackets and narrow pants used a high shine silver fabric, often using cutout, dagger like panels. A darker silver jersey was also used in dresses with shirt collars and A-line skirts with lightening bolts of sheer revealing bared breasts. While the sleeveless jackets in boucle wool and leather shirt collars provided sombre backdrop, these flashes of frailty and the closing gown, with long sheer sleeves and full chiffon skirt in black and one shoulder encrusted in what looked like an entire broken mirror, were heart-stopping in beauty of a clean but twisted kind.
