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 motif. She says, "Mr Azzaro's sole concern was how to turn eyes when a woman walks into a room, and what woman doesn't want that." This fall, expect an array of feminine dresses and playsuits with show-stopping batwing sleeves, frilled asymmetric cuts, oversized bows and crystal embellishment.
