The Lebanese couturier Tony Ward paid homage to his late father Elie Ward - “a couturier who now lights up the sky,” Ward said - with an elegant collection inspired by the infinity of the universe and its clusters of stars.

The collection’s silhouettes incorporated vaporous skirts, floating pleats, corsets and structured collars, all lightly dusted with sparkling embroideries representing shooting stars and burst of cosmic energy, while the colour palette ranged from Ultraviolet to Solar Yellow, Emerald Green and Cosmic Black.

“A sentimental feeling, reminiscing, 25 years of Tony Ward, his son, the story goes on,” stated the House in show notes.
