The “Lunar Delivery Collection” fashion show catapulted viewers onto the earthy soil of a desert of the future: center stage was a huge sphere around which models, including catwalk panther Naomi Campbell, paraded.

IB’s collection was a meeting of cultures, the African – traceable in the striking colors of yellow ochre and earthy red, and the English – with a reinterpretation of some punk elements.

They paraded wraparound coats, embellished with metal studs and large belts; maxi bomber jackets hybrids between dresses and jackets; and then zippers, armor and laces, armor and helmets that created an atmosphere of argonauts at the ends of the earth.

A vaguely apocalyptic vision of the near future, perhaps, as if foreshadowing an inevitable war, discernible in the camouflage fabrics and boots, among functional saddlebags and backpacks that carry everything.

Lightening things up, a flicker of color used to perfection and a few touches of romance here and there, between the lace of a fitted dress and the crinoline of ancient memory.

Interesting is the use of the Kayan, the ornament African women affix around the neck to increase its length, which in IB’s vision is associated with minimal total-black dresses: a well-structured creative flick whose aesthetic codes can be traced to the rites of passage of ancestral tribes.
