Away from tweed and jodhpurs, Lauren has thought about those who spend time in casinos and luxury hotels &#8212; with a nod to the Roaring Twenties and the decadence of Chinese emperors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most dresses were long and many of the models who wore them were Asian, with names like Jing Ma, Ming, Siu He and Liu Wen.<\/strong>  Among the coats there was a beautiful Astrakhan-lined overcoat, a long raincoat decorated with colourful dragons, and a large black leather trench coat, with a wink to the Mata-Hari of the early 20th century.<\/p>\n<p><a
