Veronique Branquinho 

Belgian designer Veronique Branquinho has returned to the catwalk after a three-year hiatus. Her comeback collection - an elegant, feminine take on Spring dressing - was worth the wait. She opened the show with a full-length nude dress with an iridescent layer of rose gold, and the same nude and peach tones proved the dominant colour narrative for the first half of the collection. The second half saw a familiar Branquinho touch: the push and pull between masculine and feminine. With a palette of moss green, navy blue, black and white, Branquinho brought out pantsuits and trousers paired with shirts, which were then softened with oversized arm sleeves or shrouded in wispy chiffon. Layers of billowy silk fabric - skillfully gathered, pleated and manipulated on the nude-toned goddess gowns - wafted gracefully, giving outfits the lightest of touches.
