In the 1970s, Loris Azzaro's sumptuous gowns were a must-wear for the jet-set, now his protégé Vanessa Seward is taking the label back to its dizzying heights of success. Her collections are in keeping with Azzaro's glamorous roots. She says, "Mr Azzaro's sole concern was how to turn heads when a woman walks into a room, and what woman doesn't want that." This season get ready to cause a stir in striking block color gowns with crystal embellishment, show-stopping mini dresses with plunging backs and eye-popping swimwear.
