Alice Dellal returned to the catwalk last night in support of older sister Charlotte who staged her first ever London Fashion Week show.

Closing the show at the Roundhouse in Camden, the youngest Dellal modelled a pair of thigh high velvet boots from the accessory designer’s autumn/winter collection.

Sporting Forties finger waves and deep red lips, the model cut a demure figure. Gone was the undercut and ripped tights that defined her early days on the party circuit.

Given Charlotte’s reputation as a designer who deals in vintage glamour, the classic aesthetic was far from surprising and served as a perfect match for a collection which honoured all of her favourite design codes.

Taking the 1970’s as inspiration and in particular, Sci-Fi posters, Olympia delivered a homage to Ziggy Stardust.

Hard case clutch bags embellished with the phrase “the girl who fell to earth” emphasised Dellal’s space age vibe while metallic sandals with heels, designed to echo planets, were equally out of this world.

Alien pochette bags and star embellished leather lace up brogues also featured in the showcase which was staged in a blacked out amphitheatre.

Charlotte Olympia, has long been synonymous with statement accessories which are instantly recognisable and they were also present in this catwalk debut.

Keen to delight celebrity fans Alexa Chung and Daisy Lowe who watched from the front row, Dellal included metallic pussy cat pumps and a striking leopard print tote bag.
