What, according to Womenswear Wear Daily, made our Editor-in-Chief Sophia Neophitou positively “coo” with excitement? To say, “Woww… You look so twinkly”? VS Angel, Ms Martha Hunt, in the most sparkling of sparkling corsets, of course – one dotted with over 90,000 gold, red, emerald and blue Swarovski crystal beads and pendants created by Parisian couturier Serkan Cura. A work of lingerie-based art! But the corset isn’t all – when Martha walks in tonight’s show, she’ll also be wearing a pair of wings so fancy that the only thing they don’t seem to do is actually take flight – created from from 20,000 more Swarovski crystals and 130 feet of LED lights. Think – Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge had she run away with the circus and sprouted wings in the process. Which is a good thing, obviously. “I’ve worn wings before, but these are special,” said Hunt to WWD. “They’re heavier than ever before and light up like a firework…” With mere hours to go until tonight’s show, Ten Towers is in a state of frenzy, so stay tuned to newsite.10magazine.com for exclusive backstage action tomorrow and throughout the rest of the week…
