Guests, including K-pop superstar Rosé of Blackpink and Justin Bieber’s supermodel wife Hailey Bieber, trickled into the venue under brooding clouds as night began to fall, stopping for selfies in front of a huge, flowing water fountain, while crowds lined up on the esplanade overlooking the venue.

Models emerged from the dark, making their way slowly down a broad set of stairs before marching around the fountain on towering heels.

Sticking mostly to monochrome looks – the first model was dressed in olive tones – Vaccarello threw the spotlight on the silhouettes. They were slender with no frills, just touches of draping and the occasional asymmetric cut.
