Ryan Lo’s tiring of kawaii, apparently. He’s feeling all grown up. His girl is trying to be a lady for a change, trading in cute for timeless, apparently. But enough of us regurgitating the press release, what did this mean in clothes? Well there was sort of a whole wedding funeral thing. Colour palette of bridal white and funeral black. Still plenty of fantasy, though. Started with two-sets, a bit Chanel-y, in black or white jacquard, with flared skirts and worn with Doc Martens and piles of boater hats. Gloves were frilly, and top hats came with full-length lacy veils. Ryan’s typical brand of frou frou girlishness came through in ribbon bows and floral detailing, while bridal gowns came in layered tulle, accented with splashes of gold. Girlish too were the touches of blush peach and pale blue, tones that Ryan called regal – a bit Princess Di, and a celebration of him getting British citizenship earlier this year. So now all that’s left to do is find a man to do it in. By do it, we mean get married. Or, alternatively, make like the Ryan Lo lady and just marry ourselves. She’s no longer looking for love, apparently. She’s her own white knight. Girl power.
