Colour me happy

Seems like next season will be all about pops, or in some cases splatters of colours.

I am loving the shades of bright yellow, sunburst orange, red and hot pink used throughout the collections at RAFW. Usually i like to stick to monochromatic pallette but i am definately steering towards embracing hot colourful shades and my favourite is candy pink. If you are not quite brave enough to deck yourself and look like one big giant rainbow, why not try this colour blocking trend via your accessories.

Even the shoes at RAFW were one big giant parade of colourful shades.

Group Show day one of RAFW

The group collection show on the monday included Uscari, Garth Cook, Subfusco, Lanphi and Flowers for a vagabond and what a beautiful assortment of looks by all 5 designers.

Uscari started the show with a short film showcasing this seasons looks then sent down an array of stunning and crisp white on white outfits. There was crochet, tailoring, relaxed jersey and lots of layering and detailing.

Garth Cook was next and he also embraced the key trend of tailoring and mixing it with pastel printed flowing pieces. Subfusco included both mens a womenswear, sending down a male model in a sheer printed blazer and short combo, mixing up the neautral palette embraced by the previous designers.

Subfusco’s collection was inspired by the four elements of the earth- earth. Air, fire and water as well as human existence. The colour palette was derived form these four elements. the fabric was created by the designer - Josh Scacheri, by digitally printing the design onto a mesh fabric creating a stunning effect.

Lanphi was all about prints. One of the key looks was a full flowing dress with cutouts on the back in a green and blue infused print.

Flowers for a Vagabond brought back the show with a monochromatic palette and sleek silhouettes. All in all a very talented group of designers, with fun wearable pieces.

lots of more photos still to come!

Fashion week-a-thon

Today was the first day of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. It is the craziest week on the Australian Fashion industry calender which consists of alot of running around, waiting around, outfit gazing, style envy-ing and the heavy consumption of cappucinos and lattes.

In saying that it is one of the most exciting and inspiring events within the year. 

Today i was able to make it out to the collection show involving Uscari, Garth Cook, Subfusco, Lanphi and Flowers for a vagabond.

Photos and reviews will come later in the week, but i must say it was a very beautiful show.

I also received a goodie bag! some of the items included the Uscari lookbook, $25 gift voucher, scarf, VIP id tag and a personalised Uscari water bottle!
