The narrative voice of “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life” echoed in the background as models walked out of the show. The make up was light, the hair was underdone – only ponytails presented. The clothes, from jumpsuits to two-pieced suits, were kept short with sharp tailoring, stylized with leather boots to create a futuristic sportive vibe. At some moments in the midst of black, pink drapes and grey emerged along with a mass of plaid toward the finale, only to vary the sleek and clean looks of Jil Sander’s Fall Winter 2010 collection.
