The best of these were Temperley’s sequined jumpsuits and—without a question the standout look in the show—her matched sequin-striped wrap top as well as cropped trouser set in black as well as silver. The look wasn’t so outré as to be alienating to the core Temperley customer, however it had a confident, tomboyish sexiness that would draw a second glimpse from a Temperley skeptic.
