16Arlington x Antony Price: The 16 Looks Show, Lily Allen and What It Left in the Clothes

On 17 November 2025, in 16Arlington’s studio in Hoxton, Antony Price staged a runway show for the first time in 36 years. The collection, 16 Looks, was a made-to-order collaboration between Price, the designer who built the stage image of Roxy Music and Duran Duran, and Marco Capaldo, a year in the making. Lily Allen walked in it, her first catwalk, in a strapless midnight-navy velvet gown lined in green satin, with a cigarette. Each look was paired with custom Manolo Blahniks. Price died on 16 December 2025, aged 80, a month after the show, which stands as his final collection. This is what it was, why it matters to the house, and how it connects to the 16Arlington sold at Coveti.

Who Antony Price was

Born in Keighley, Yorkshire, in 1945, Price dressed the glam era: Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music, Duran Duran in their pastel Rio suits, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Lou Reed, the Rolling Stones. His signatures were internal corsetry, cone-structured busts, boned bodices and gowns that shaped the body before the fabric did, and a taste for satin, animal print and sequins that 16Arlington shares. He had not shown under his own name on a catwalk since 1989.

What 16 Looks was

Sixteen looks, sixteen women, shown salon-style in the brand’s studio to a small audience, with Lila Moss, Adwoa Aboah, Edie Campbell and Lara Stone among the cast and a single men’s look, a midnight-navy dupion suit, on Kit Butler. From Price’s archive came trompe-l’oeil treatments of animalier print and archetypal evening silhouettes; from 16Arlington came crystal and feather embroidery, chiffon and velvet, and the fetishistic leathers the house had been developing. Construction was the point. The brand’s text, by Alexander Fury, calls it a means of shaping confidence through the body. Every look was made to measure, with three fittings at a minimum.

The Lily Allen dress

Allen’s runway look was titled Avenge: a corseted, strapless gown in inky navy velvet lined in green satin, its seashell bodice a reference to a Price look from 1981. After the show she wore a custom 16Arlington x Antony Price mini for her West End Girl performances at the London O2, an interpretation of the Avenge gown reimagined in silk satin and embellished with more than 45,000 crystals, built in four layers with internal corsetry, a cone-structured bust and a boned bodice. It is the clearest statement of what the collaboration passed on to the house.

Why it mattered

For 16Arlington the show was a statement of lineage. Capaldo has said the house is about dressing for the night, and Price invented the modern version of that: the glamour of the 1970s and 1980s, built on structure rather than on fabric. Working with him put the brand’s feathers and sequins in that line, and the timing, a fortnight after the Marks and Spencer capsule, showed both ends of what the house can do in a single season. The salon format, the studio setting and the 16-woman cast, one per look, also set the tone for how the brand has presented itself since.

What it means for the clothes you can buy

16 Looks was couture-adjacent and not for sale off the rail. What it changed is visible in the mainline, where the Price signatures, sequin as a total surface, animalier print, structured satin, sit across 55 sequinned pieces and 67 satin pieces at Luxury Shoes , priced from $500 for a sequin top to $9,940 for the most embellished gown: Autumn/Winter 2026 leaned into animalier print, structured satin and embroidery, and the Luxury Handbags range already carries the materials Price loved. The Electra gown is the silver-to-black woven-sequin column; the Wye midi is the leopard chiffon with feathers; the Malena gown is bias-cut Japanese satin with a plunging lace-trimmed neckline; the Gabby gown carries the feather trim; the Carmen skirt is the pony-hide pencil. The gown guide and the sequin edit pick through the rest.
