Philip Treacy marked his return to London Fashion Week with more glamour and 80s excess than any other show this year. Then again, not every show featured Lady Gaga as its ringmaster. Wonderland<\/em> sneaked behind the scenes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s been 13 years since Philip Treacy<\/a> showed in London, and the milliner returned with a bang: Alek Wek busting a few Thriller moves on the catwalk, a fully-robed gospel choir and Lady Gaga in a floor-length veil opening the show by declaring Treacy \u201cthe greatest milliner of all time\u201d. (We heard her shrieking “I’m so excited!” the minute she walked backstage – in full floral headdress – and saw the multitudes of hats.)<\/p>\n But let’s not forget the real stars of the show: an all-black catwalk in Michael Jackson\u2019s old costumes that paid tribute to the extravagance of icons like MJ, Alexander McQueen and Isabella Blow.<\/p>\n Snowden Hill, Fudge Global Session stylist, let us in on a few backstage secrets while pinning models\u2019 hair into sleek, slicked-back barnets: \u201cIt\u2019s the small details in hair that you can catch in a certain light. With this kind of hair, you\u2019ve got a big hat going on, so it\u2019s about making small heads very beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGrace Jones is a very good friend of Philip\u2019s and it\u2019s paying homage to her, as well. Big hats look great on black women \u2013 they\u2019re very strong and they can definitely carry it off. It\u2019s no-holds-barred here, you can do or wear whatever you like in Michael Jackson\u2019s Neverland!\u201d We get the feeling Lady Gaga would agree.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Check out our other backstage posts from LFW:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n Day One: Felder Felder, PPQ and KTZ<\/a> Words: Zing Tsjeng Philip Treacy marked his return to London Fashion Week with more glamour and 80s excess than any other show this year.
