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!!!

I am loving Winter this year! It is hardly reaching below 16 during the day! What more of an inspiration than embracing what our sunny town has to offer! Last night when I was driving home I saw the most divine sunset I have seen in ages! All pastels of blues, purples and pinks - love these pics below - enjoy! x
