In light of the current climate change issues, Francesco Risso proved that their main concern was to encourage sustainability within the fashion industry. The audience was seated on cardboard benches, whilst being surrounded by palm trees created by collected plastic bottles, which the fabrics were also made out of. Marni’s garments were inspired by Fauvism, which were hand-painted with heavy brush strokes in bold colours. These energetic looks put emphasis on the company’s attitude towards environmental issues, which allowed the show to captivate the audience in order to create an understanding of the importance of contemporary issues.
Alessandro Michele began the show by having models wearing high - fashion-styled straightjackets walk in on a conveyor belt with bold white lights. This caused one model, Ayesha Tan Jones, to bravely hold her hands up which stated “MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT FASHION”, as a protest against this part of the show. The audience was then plunged into darkness and the main collection was shown, which emphasised individuality and sexiness through the use of delicate sheer fabrics and black knee-high boots.
