Techno mermaids walked the catwalk of the Iceberg runway show hosted at Milanese swimming pool Bagni Misteriosi. Dressed in sequined pants, iridescent silk dresses worked in softened neon tones, cutout sweaters, shimmering briefs and see-through pleated skirts, they seemed to be creatures coming from a planet where people rave while eating cotton candy.
Designer James Long also drew amply from a sportswear wardrobe for hoodies, track pants, windbreakers, worked in white tones and decorated with neon patterns of “I” for a sort of logo-mania effect.

However, looking at the troops of influencers in bizarre outfits attending his show, he might have found an audience for this flamboyant extravaganza.
