But it wasn't sexy or  flaunting,  It might have been about fashion adopting the extreme, or going over the top, or even playing with the vulgar. But what it was not about was vulgarity. Each section had an introductory text, which was very happy with itself  and then there was a lovely set of costumes which often had nothing to do with the introductory text, and had scarcely anything to do with vulgarity.   There were two shows, a show of costume and a display of one person's reflection on the word vulgarity.  Very little contact between the two.  It was as
