Yet while its feels some distance from the fashion houses of Milanese designers, Black Gold works as a fashion collection both by being approachable and by being cutting edge. Indeed the stand-out look in the whole show was a smart, bravura jacket made in three vertical layers of contrasting materials - sleek nylon at the shoulders, a band of mohair across the chest, all anchored by a super fine wool torso.
It was worthy of any high-end label's runway, but rocked too.
