Andreas Kronthaler presented an emotional tribute to his late wife with a collection that was entirely inspired by her life's work, and Westwood's granddaughter, Cora Corré, closed the show, dressed in a bridal look.

In his show notes, Kronthaler addressed Westwood: "In everything we will show, I thought of you and where you came from, from the North of England. The 'masturbation skirt', do you remember? From a long time ago. How much we laughed when we made it. I worked on it again. The petticoat skirts which were your absolute favourite. I've made some for you, all different, they're gorgeous, so pretty, so girly, so woman, so really woman. I used some of our antique fabrics that we collected together to give them a new life, I hope you don't mind. You once said to me that you can take everything away, iust leave me my platform shoes because one can't do without them. Maybe the most important thing you ever taught me was to put the woman on a pedestal."

Trend takeaways: Platform boots and corsetry
