At the height of his celebrity George famously claimed to prefer having a nice cup of tea to indulging in pleasures of a carnal nature but recently there has been little evidence of a sedate lifestyle either on or off the runway. Not that anyone was complaining as he pumped up the volume to ensure that the week finished with a bang.

It was a relaxed affair from start to finish and a whole lot of fun to boot. From the fabulously made-up transvestites in the crowd to the sound track’s answer phone message gently mocking those not invited, no one was taking themselves too seriously and the objective seemed to be to have a good time.

Girls strutted down the catwalk clearly enjoying the atmosphere and winking at anyone who took their fancy while the boys, who outnumbered their female colleagues, gyrated their hips and wiggled their derrières for the assembled photographers: don’t try and tell George that this is supposed to be the week for womenswear!

The photographer’s pit found at the end of the runway isn’t called a pit for no reason and if they deem a model not to have provided ample time for their shots, they let them know in no uncertain terms.

When that happened here though, to the astonishment and cheers of the photographers, the guy simply turned around and came back. When even these hardened and cynical individuals start loosening up you know it must be a good party and the laid back ambiance made a refreshing change from being preached to from someone’s own personal bible of cool.

From someone who has swapped the microphone for the D.J booth it is perhaps no surprise that what we were presented with was drawn mainly from club culture and the street. No prizes for spotting the 1980s influences either as fluorescent stretch dresses and baggy Ragga hoodies were very much in effect.

Elsewhere a slim charcoal dress with multiple zip openings was homage to punk and a trench style dress so short it finished at the lower back was redolent of Vivienne Westwood.

Camouflage prints and lime green gingham smock dresses also featured while a corset and pencil skirt outfit covered in turquoise tinted reflective panels made one think of a disco ball and could only be destined for the dance floor.

At the end of the show George came out to a standing ovation from what was admittedly a partisan crowd but as he lingered on the catwalk amongst the models his fans spilled onto the runway to commence an impromptu party right there. Some things it seems will never change.
