MBFWA – New Gen 2

LF MARKEY

While I enjoyed Lf Markey, it wasn’t my cup of tea. A little bit too simple for my taste. WEBSITE.

ASH TO GOLD

Ash to Gold was my favourite from the New Gen show. I loved the colour used, the textures & structure of the pieces. I am so in love with the accessories used for it too, the chunky pyramid cuffs, the pyramid bags and the ankle cuffs. AMAZEBALLS! WEBSITE.

Uscari

My second favourite. The detailing in the dresses were amazing. The harnessing like details on the dresses seem to add a feminine hardness. While I don’t really like autumn colourings, the rust palette a lot of the collection focused on was a great colour. I loved every item of this collection. WEBSITE.

Susan Rep

Some great Kaftan / Beach cover ups. A couple of good patterns, but nothing that really ‘hit me’.

Little Gracie

This collection was really cute. It had a very ‘high school formal’ feel. Baby doll dresses in pretty prints, very girly. The above two were my favourite. WEBSITE.

Aanchal Chanda

In which I turned to Caitlin and said “Fashion Turban!” (I <3 P’Trique!). While it seems that Kaftan like dresses are the new thing, it all gets a little same-samey to me. This collection was a stand out though in that regards. The colours & prints, mixed with more traditional dresses was great. Detailed beading and shoulder embellishments made it more eye catching. I admit I’m a bit of a magpie and am attracted to shiny sparkly things. WEBSITE.

Luella

Soft, feminine dresses, nearly all maxi length. Very soft colouring. I quite enjoyed this collection, the two dresses above were the stand outs for me. WEBSITE.

MBFWA – The Innovators

I think it’s almost fitting that my first official Fashion Week show was ‘The Innovators’. A collection which showcases 6 of the best TAFE graduates. The show started with graduate Kaylene Milner being given a $15 000 cheque, for a Global Mentorship prize. She’ll be taking off to do a 3 month internship with Diane von Furstenburg!

KAYLENE MILNER

Kaylenes work was remarkable, but not really my style. A lot of Autumn tones, mixing of prints and fabrics. Chunky knits, leather (hide), sheer. - WEBSITE 

CARLIE WATERMAN

First thing I noticed of course was the headbands. Later on looking at pictures online, they are what looks to be backward visors, covered with army figurines. Some amazing prints in the collection. A lot of white, accented with bright colours. My favourite outfit from the show was by Carlie, a gorgeous clash of lilac & lime colours. – WEBSITE

CYNTHIA THAI

Holy amazing beading batman! This collection showcased some amazing embellishments to outfits. Some great colour combos. A good deal many things I’d gladly own, though they make me wonder “How would you wash that!?” - WEBSITE

STEPHANIE GOERLACH

I think this selection would be the mose ‘wearable’ out of all shown. Perfect print clashing. An amazing black, white & red dress that was spotted and stripped. Flamingo print! – FACEBOOKTUMBLR

YULIY GERSHINSKY

Male clothing. I honestly don’t know much about male clothing. Very minimal, black, grey, white & cream. Oh, and some had foot braces as footwear. I commented I should have worn my boot. – WEBSITE

CHRISTOPHER BALDWIN

Tinseltastic! I have to admit, I kind of loved this collection. I have a weakness for anything sparkily and a lot of the clothing featurued what looks like the lovechild of tinsel & videotape. Another collection that leaves me amazed but also wondering “how do you wash it”.

Sydney Opera House

I’ve lived in Sydney all but 3 years of my life & I often forget how beautiful it is here. While I’ve always wanted to travel, see the world, live in the UK and New Zealand for a year or so, I feel so blessed to have been born in such an amazing country.

Spending last week at MBFWA, we had the most amazing view of the Sydney Opera House. I’ve been inside the Opera House, seen it hundreds of times, but seeing it from a different angle was looking at it through new eyes. I can totally understand why it’s classified as one of the ’7 wonders’.

My life is currently full of darkness. I feel like i’m lost deep in the water, struggling to breathe, not sure which was is up. I found myself sitting and just watching the water & staring at the Opera House often last week, I guess it was a reminder that beautiful things do exist. Try and find happiness in the small and simple things. When you find the right way up, and break through the water, take your first big breath of fresh air, when you open your eyes, you may be greeted to your own Opera House waiting for you.

All these photos were taken on my phone, and not edited, apart from re-sizing.
