MBFWA 2014 - MATICEVSKI

We were in awe after witnessing the Toni Maticevski runway show at MBFWA this year which was a departure from the designer's usual evening wear. What we saw was a collection that was sporty and sculptural while remaining formal and dressy, evidence that the use of neoprene can still result in a beautifully elegant evening feel. The skilful manipulation of fabric and use of different textures including metallics, prints, and colours that ranged from soft pinks and greys to a bold coral was a feast for our eyes. The finale walk had a surprise twist which created a bit of a stir among show-goers, including ourselves. The first model emerged for her final walk holding a single flower petal in her mouth. She was followed by the models each holding slightly more than the last, finishing with the last model holding a branch-like bouquet in her mouth. Dramatic? Yes.

VICKY

 Vicky looked awesome in a symmetrical printed dress with rad structured sleeves by Haryono Setiadi. Her hide clutch was by Bruug and her unique shoes were by Abcense.

MBFWA 2014 - HARYONO SETIADI

The Haryono Setiadi show was one of our favourite events on the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia schedule this year. The production was strikingly simple, in a white studio space with high ceilings and natural light pouring into the room. The fabrics used in the collection floated on the models and had an origami-like quality in regards to the intricacy and folds in the designs we witnesses. With a clear water theme running through the pieces, the colourful hues and ethereal sheer silhouettes were bold yet soothing at the same time. Check out the collection for yourself below.

We have a winner! Congratulations to Wendy Buckeridge, a brand spanking new Nespresso x Superette Inissia coffee machine will be on its way to you shortly. Thanks to everyone who entered!

KARA

Kara of Sydney Style Edit looked great in this simple and clean look. Her top was by Staple the label and her great flared skirt was by Shakuhachi. We loved her shoes by Sass & Bide with their cutout sections and how cool is that white camera case?

NICOLE

It was impossible to miss Nicole in her insanely awesome sequined, studded, metallic outfit. The jacket and dress were both by Discount Universe, one of our favourite discoveries from our recent Sydney trip. Her glasses were by Versace, shoes by Nike, and the opal ring was by Lotus Mendes.
