The final packed-out show was held in a black room with the designer's name up in lights and an amber runway.

The feminine collection of mostly dresses was created in a range of vibrant reds, pinks, yellows, purples and greens.

The garments featured rich tapestry-like patterns and textured fabric.

Models wore bright coloured eye make-up and flipped back hair adorned with flowers, feathers and berries.

Designer Akira Isogawa said it was important to him that hair and make-up complement his designs.

"It's vital to complete the look," he said.
 
"It's not just about the clothing but the styling as well - the shoes, the skin, the colour and the hair."

Music by Icelandic group Sigur Ros added to the other-worldly feel, as models glided down the catwalk on 10cm wedge shoes.

It was a triumphant return for Akira, who was absent from the event last year.

"We didn't participate in Australian Fashion Week last year, so I feel a bit nervous," the designer admitted before the show.

He needn't have worried, receiving rapturous applause as the show closed.
