The first RAFW showing to open with spectacle, Nookie Beach brought forth the hand beaten sounds of two men and their bongo drums. Where earlier in the day Sara Phillips had placed a botanical arrangement, Nookie Beach placed faux-stones fashioned into a fire hearth and surrounded it with dried grass. As the drum beats faded and the lights rose to fill the white space with red hues worthy of a sunrise over the plains of Africa, the statement as to which continent had most influenced elements of the collection became ever the more apparent.
Africana was obviously the order of the day. Nookie Beach worked it into temporary tattoos adoring the male and female models alike, while even the opening men's sarong offered up an interpretation of the theme. But that's all it was: an interpretation. For Nookie Beach, the sister label of Nookie, took various motifs and morphed them into something far more modern, far more straight down the line, far more subtle then the fashion parade as spectacle that they'd used to such effectiveness.
