Masculine Feminism

 After decades of womenswear taking inspiration from men's wear, from 80's power dressing and oversized shoulders to 90's loose fit shapeless trench coats; It is about time menswear did the same! I love this latest show from Shoji Fujii in the Paris Men's Autumn-Winter 11 shows... It's all in the detail - notice the feminine influences and key details? What a beautiful mix of classic styling and yet challenging the masculine/feminine dynamic!

70's Nostalgia, Motel Poolsides and Funky Headscarves!

 With the rise of the new 70's trend, kicking out the 90's for yet another decade, there is some very exciting colours and silhouettes coming our way! Finally fully embracing the high waisted jean that bells & flares right out at the hem, Herme's head scarves like there is no tomorrow and the colours! The new colours are to die for! Rich hues of mahogany, navy, suede tans, chambray blues and hints of rich reds and golden yellows.

Enjoy!

Where Has The Time Gone?

It has been nothing short of hectic here in the design room over the past couple of months!  I feel like I have abandoned my fellow bloggers! But now it is time for research and developement for Hi Summer 11! - which excites me with travel, blogging, research and pulling together the new collection! In the mean time, here is a little bit of what we have been up to!








 Have a beautiful day!

Couture - Is It Still Relevant?

As apart of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane, I was delighted to sit amoungst other fashion go-ers to hear a panel of 6 industry professionals including Paul Hunt (Designer), Charlott Smith (Author Dreaming of Dior) and Jonathan Ward (Designer) discuss Couture in Australia.

Discussing the current fascination with couture online - the demand for not wanting to be behind from the rest of the world. They go on to say that every country has their own degree of couture. For Australia we have really embraced the new "demi couture" - the half way mark for the modern women with money, but no time for the traditional format of having many fittings to create the made to measure garment. Also that the Bridal Gown is as close to couture as most Australian's get.

Finishing up with the idea of celebrities such as Lindsey Lohan  ruining the image of couture - or are they a much needed  advertisement for Designers struggling in the GFC?

Creation Sensation

Last night I went to the all inspiring Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE's Graduate Parade Creation.
The night was hosted by Channel 10's Amanda McLeay, with invited guests of up to 500 industry professionals including George Wu, Cyan Reign & Jean Brown buyers & bloggers. There were 3 scholarships up for grabs with Amy Davidson winning a scholarship to Paris to intern at Stylesite.


The level of skill, techinique and a vision to kill was undoubtedly amazing! The music went from dark and moody to completely uplifting. All the while Vivien's models were owning the catwalk with the likes of Hannah Gasby, Cody Young & Emma Sparks. The parade began with Avant Garde, lingerie, swimwear and onto Couture and Ready to Wear. All in all I was completely blown away!!!

Enjoy the snaps!!!
