This is reflected in the ambiguous domestic setting, with bare walls, concrete floors and spare furniture around including a radiator, artist’s canvas and a bed frame. Juxtaposing the muted interior are gilded silver Paco Rabanne objects, prêt-à-porter designs and accessories.

Glass cover-star model Londone Myers is captured in a series of spontaneous frozen moments. The visuals showcase the mesh and jersey pieces from the SS18, as well the classic bodyline range and the iconic metallic 1969 handbag.
