Natalia Alaverdian’s love of movies is the main source of inspiration for the F/W20 collection presented at the last London Fashion Week. She is one of today’s hottest designers, with a distinct voice on the contemporary fashion scene

In hindsight, this is how the fashion shows of Marine Serre and Richard Quinn shows were branded at their respective Fashion Weeks last February. Far from being medical in nature, the haute couture masks were the shock accessory on the F/W 2020 runways.
