Serving pastries, tea and coffee was a good move on the part of this Indian husband and wife team. Showing at nigh on 10am on a Sunday morning, it’s a bit of an ask of the fashion community to be entirely alert on their patent heels.

Nevertheless, the duo put out a typically vibrant collection, which declared proudly that ‘overstated is the new understated’ – an interesting concept at a time when designers seem to be playing it safe for fear of causing offence.

But what better way to beat the depression than with multi coloured dresses combining florals, animal prints and pixelation, embellished with crystals? Not for the faint hearted, the troupe of expertly draped dresses came in short and long incarnations, which flowed beautifully from corseted busts, while sheer panelling and ombre effects added a lightness to what could have been a show weighed down by detail.

Peacock by name, peacock by nature.
