In some cases, Bahnsen’s poufy shapes are exaggerated by the addition of boning to hold even more exaggerated volumes. Taking things in a new direction are dresses with a surprise, like narrow looks in which the volume has been moved to the back, or pencil-slim silhouettes from under which flounces of tulle burst out. “I like that when you see a dress from the front, it just reads as this quite simple shift dress, but then when you turn around,” Bahnsen notes you get this wow.

For the finale Bahnsen and her team dreamed up some asymmetrical silver gowns shimmering with hyper-romanticized disco ball glitz. If today’s show is a sort of goodbye to the past, tomorrow is future focused; it’s then that she will open her first store in Copenhagen. The shop is intended to be by-appointment-only, but customers who wander in won’t be turned away. “I’m very excited to see the whole universe together,” she says.

Distilling so much work into a coherent collection has been a pleasant challenge for the designer, who documented the process for Vogue.
