#MBFWA: BEC & BRIDGE

With the two Australian bomb shells being in business since 2003, they are certainly no longer the rookies of Australian Fashion Week, currently being held in Sydney.
With a now international following and exclusive Tony Bianco designs, their Spring/Summer 2013/14 collection was one that left the fashion following begging for more.

Highlights included white, pajamas like silks floating down the runway in such feminine easy and wearable silhouettes. The effortless and futuristic glam continued as whites morphed into metallic pastel sheens and prints. Not to mention the tailored vests and white sequins.. oh my!

Over all the collection was a hit, with many pieces being snatched up straight off the runway from a hungry crowd of fashion goers.

Now to wait until 4pm to watch the marvouls Alex Perry and his                  
beautiful new Spring/Summer range.
The show can be viewed here at at JASU.com
Enjoy Fashion Week Australia everyone! X

OH DIOR

If the Melbourne Cup is referred to as ‘the race that stops the nation,’ then Paris Fashion Week should be the week of ‘holding our breath until blue in the face’ from the monumental and majestic creations that flaunt down the runways before us. With the usual highlights of Alexander McQueen, Balmain and Chanel showing off their latest master pieces, one show failed to flood my body with delight: the Dior show.

 With the ready to wear show being Raf Simons second for the design house, I found myself tilting my head and raising an eyebrow over quite a few of his most recent creations. Now I’m not at all claiming that the show was a disaster or that the clothes were hideous: I believe that all fashion is a creative and complex creation that should be given the recognition it deserves, it was just not at all what I had envisioned the show to unfold.

With a clouded sky surrounding and strategically placed mirrored spheres on the staged runway, Simons admits that he wanted this collection to represent the art world, and be a ‘juxtaposition of something surreal compared to something very real.’ He was interested in having a collection that spoke about feelings and emotions that could be related to both dreams and reality. The ready to wear selection to him was like a ‘personal scrapbook.’

The full show can viewed here on Dior’s website, watch it and let me know how you feel about it. To arty or to emotional? Or just absolute perfection in your eyes? I’d love to hear your thoughts X
