"She was an incredible actress, very powerful. She wasn't frightened. She always went for the risky things in life. This fearless pursuit of risk was manifested in the collection's striking pieces, where dresses featured rough, open seams that twisted and draped unpredictably, creating an intimate yet anarchic fall wardrobe."
"Titled 'Joy in Tough Times,' this collection is an intricate tapestry woven from threads of continuity, grief, and playful exuberance, a reflection of Kronthaler's enduring connection to Westwood's legacy. The atmosphere pulsated with the kind of eroticism and spontaneity that has long characterised Kronthaler's vision at the house."
"As models strutted down the runway, candy in hand, a cheeky nod to knickers, Kronthaler playfully embraced the intersection of innocence and audacity, a testament to his multifaceted design approach. Kronthaler's exploration transcended mere clothing; it was a celebration of life's chaotic beauty, echoing both love and loss."
