RAFW S/S2011: LOVER


A lovely, warm welcome to Lover coming back to RAFW after a 5 year absence. The collection was super romantic with lots of lace, soft silhouettes and colour palette restrained to white, black and red.











RAFW S/S2011: KARLA SPETIC




I adored the colours in the Karla Spetic show teamed with some bold and brilliant prints. The looks were girly yet polished with an abundance of bright shirts and also flowing dresses in eye popping hues.











RAFW SS11: ARNSDORF


The latest from Arnsdorf was clean and feminine with some minimalistic looks and bright summer colours. I didn't particularly like the bright fuchsia as it seemed a little overpowering amongst the palette, but the mint green was lovely. Garments draped effortlessly creating fresh, simple looks with the addition of accessories to the Arnsdorf repertoire.

RAFW SS11: ZIMMERMANN


An intricate collection that maintained Zimmermann’s florals and feminine aesthetic yet progressed towards a more dreamy, mature direction. There was less emphasis on swimwear and also featured more soft, natural and subdued colour palette. I loved the high necklines and thigh high slits which reminded me of traditional Asian dresses but at the same time had a country farm-girl vibe to it. The show reminded me of Rodarte's FW2011 collection. Overall I liked the incorporation of different fabrics and textures. It was a refreshing change to label's previous collections.











interview with dempsey stewart

So I managed to escape my captor, (a pretty good excuse for my lack of blogging) the end my uni semester means that I'll have lots and lots of time to blog... hooray. However in my absence I did not completely forget about my lovely readers, I working away attempting to find some decent content to post when I had the time. Dempsey took the fashion week by storm, walking in more shows than I can be bothered to count. I recently got in touch with this fantastic new model and managed to get an interview.
