where's thumper?
by Antonia Leslie

Sequined bambis, embroidered bambis, and even tapestry bambis. Yes you've guessed it Jean Charles de Castelbajac's theme this season was Bambi. Well actually it was only one of the incredible mix of themes which included all things Medieval and leather animal heads worn with biker suits. Colourful prints on dresses with armor like shoulder protection in plastic. Stained glass dresses in linked plastic triangles. Even Courreges made an appearance with 1960's space hoods. A riot of influences and an Irish wolfhound as a model. The catwalk was huge and covered in photos of stone slabs and at the far end behind the live band was a Medieval castle. Bambi goes to Camelot with King Arthur and Pussy Galore.
