Michael Lo Sordo's Resort '24 'Showgirls' collection photographed by EDG Studios at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2023, Carriageworks, Sydney. Documenting the designer's 10th anniversary runway presentation, inspired by the decadence and glamour of Parisian nightclubs, capturing runway moments, backstage atmosphere, and collection details.
The "Midnight in Paris" presentation transformed Carriageworks into a sultry French nightclub atmosphere, with a red-carpet runway, intimate lamp-lit tables, dirty martinis, and a live string quartet. Michael Lo Sordo's signature sensual tailoring featured plunging gowns, backless silhouettes, and luxurious fabrications in velvet, lace, and silk, an homage to after-dark Paris in the 12th arrondissement. The collection included the updated Alexandra gown made famous in James Bond's "No Time to Die," reimagined in cherry and black lace, alongside the debut of a bold menswear capsule opening with model Jordan Barrett.
