Show at Milan fashion week saw use of adjustable elastics and pull-tapes to unexpectedly sophisticated effect

The result was unexpectedly sophisticated. The casting, featuring men and women of all ages and sizes, was a triumphant showcase for how beautifully the shapes worked on different bodies.

But it has left unanswered questions over how the project would be paid for, raising questions about whether the vision can be achieved by 2035, especially as many of the heritage buildings that were once part of the hospital require extensive renovation.
