Jenny Packham AW 12/13

'It's all about Femme Fatales and film noir this season' said Jenny Packham backstage at this morning's show.

Normally known for her graceful and elegant gowns, the British designer really let her darker side show with this collection.  Shoulder detail was key, with heavy padding and embelleshment on her dresses.

Inspired by the likes of Lauren Bacall and Angelina Jolie, Packhams models donned dark lips, plunging necklines and plenty of beading.  It wasn't all grunge as the dresses that she is known for soon emerged, with heavy detailing, plenty of asymmetry and heavy embellishment.
