MSFW

Today is the last day of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week
which is easily one of my favourite weeks in any given year
Spring fashion is just so pretty!

The first event i covered for StyleMelbourne was a bit of a special one.
(must inject here, StyleMelbourne was in the MX paper on friday!)

Was at Fashion Exposed at Melbourne Exhibition Centre
for two reasons.
to watch the Debut collection runway
and also help out at Sleep Couture's shop, yes we had a stall!






:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Debut collection was awe-inspiring, the designers were so talented and spot on with the trends Aussie fashion is moving into.

Marion Liese had the best sensual, slinky slips

and Ellen Bartels jewellery was chunky and eye-catching, just the way i like it.

sabio designs, eternal safari and sebestian's sister and tara badcock were all so creative!

i ve got a lot of respect for these designers, and really hope they go far.
such a different vibe from attending runway shows from established companies,
i really enjoyed it.

unfortunately no photos yet as our photographer bailed, but i ll post a link when the article is up!

i took one photo of the Intimates runway that i really liked
or rather, i liked the corset



pretty, no?

the next event was Fine Food and Frocks, held at Grossi Florentino
(love the rabbit terrine)
many famous faces in attendance,
but notably for me, Guy Grossi and Leona Edminston
he was so affable in the interview!



got taken around the kitchen, which was fun
i am inspired to open my own restaurant




and of course Leona E's dresses were beautiful as always, but very white girl.
Trend forecast, clear perspex and sequins on sheer mesh!

On thursday, attended 2 more events.
Would have been three, but we gave up on getting into the one at Adelphi hotel as the line was too long!

Forever New runway was first, showing their new collection Glamazon.
Unfortuntely was a bit late due to Velmix mishap
(stupid stupid dentures)
Was all flustered, but the owner of Forever New was gracious
pics later!

Fokus's alley cat party at Centre Place was interesting
maybe it was Hen's company or the mulled wine or the pieces in store
but i walked away slightly lightheaded convinced i needed new sunglasses and the amazing heavy silver ring with is worn over two fingers and a leather bag printed with a map of Melbourne.
or maybe not, as i m still convinced i want them.
same deal with the piccas, will post link later!




wore a Bonds tank, Bisonte shorts, David Jones cardi, tricolour Saba scarf, leggings and Ferragamo loafers. not very MSFW i know, but i m in the midst of clearing out my wardrobe and i cant find anything!
