The Mark Fast SS13 show wows and astounds with its glitzy 80s-inspired glamour. The poofy blonde coifs and extensive fringe only increases the drama of the theatrical ensembles.

The collection itself is full of skin-tight, sheer and shimmery knit garments that come in rich hues including purple, fuchsia and blue. The fantastic floor-length fringe extends from the sleeves and bodices of several dresses, shimmering and swaying with the movement of the models down the runway. In keeping with the fabulous over-the-top 80s vibe of the collection, the accessories are not skimpy as the models are laden with piles of chunky gold jewelry, thick bright blue eyeshadow, two-toned metallic nail polish and hot pink mesh stilettos.

Mark Fast SS13 is quite the show with its dramatic combination of unusual and glamorous styles.
