I think fur, especially fur detailing, is key to the Thunderdome look - it's got this sort of back-to-the-stoneage need for fur feel which is essentially what would happen post-apocalypse.

^ Definitely agree. The more wild and shaggy looking, the better.

Milan Fashion Week: Roberto Cavalli’s tough response to financial crisis

Roberto Cavalli strode back into the limelight at Milan Fashion Week with his main collection, this afternoon, after the financial crisis which engulfed his younger line, Just Cavalli, last week.

The message from the Roberto Cavalli brand, which he owns and is not threatened by the economic situation, was hammered home by an army of models dressed in tough-chic, studded black leather and thigh-high spike-heeled boots.

Watched by an audience including Elizabeth Hurley, they marched down a black polyurethane catwalk against a backdrop of mirrors in which they were reflected a dozen times over.

The clothes were a potent, sexy mix of aggressive inspirations including 'Blade Runner’, 'Mad Max’ and punk.

In defiance of the supposed 'fashion economics’ theory which decrees hemlines should drop when money is tight, Cavalli reduced his warrior-skirts to little more than an armoured pelmet.

Leather micro-minis and matching gauntlets were covered in silver studs; skimpy suede dresses bristled with rivets; and asymmetric, chain-mail tunics, which barely covered the rear, were belted over skin-tight jeans, thong-stitched in metallic threads.

The mood of ferocious luxury was echoed in cropped 'gaucho’ jackets with fox sleeves; and in mink “yeti” boots which accessorised silken kilts and fringed, toga-skirts.

For evening, Cavalli went for see-through mode, showing “swimsuit gowns” in navy and black, with a long, sheer overlay, emblazoned with studs.

I quite like this. It builds on a bit of what we saw last season, and what is cropping up in a lot of editorials right now - I've seen some of this in this month's ELLE and last month's UK Vogue (I think...)
The Alessandro dell'Acqua take on the trend is particularly interesting I think

This is soooo my thing. I'm all about the structural and sculptural, vinyl and leather, futuristic and dark. This is me last year outside HR giger's art gallery.

I'm excited to see what more Balenciaga,YSL,McQueen and Margiela have to offer on this.

Not really suprised to see Thunderdome at Lagerfeld

I'm seeing more of the literal side of Thunderdome at Lagerfeld as in the eighties vibe that ran through the film instead of the idea.

I adore this style There's something so sombre about it,to me anyway

 

[ElectricAlyce]

I like the inclusion of Francesco Scognamiglio here, because on one hand it doesn't really fit the barbarian urban savage style of the others, but on the other hand it does seem kind of "tribal leaders" or "tribal royalty"? Something like that

This thread needs bumping again for my sake.

Best collection of the season to define the Beyond Thunderdome look, IMO.
The details are really astonishing.
