Australian Fashion Week 2011: The verdict

May 14th 2011 04:51

The cold autumn winds may have us Aussie folk reaching for our coats and scarves right now but rest assured that in just a few months' time, the warm weather will be back again... and with it, an exciting series of new fashion trends that are just itching to be added to our summer wardrobes. Last week gave us the chance to see just what those trends might be: some were obvious, others not so, while others were strongly influenced by what we've already seen on the international stage. Curious? Read on for my personal verdict on what key styles Australian Fashion Week gave us for the 2011/12 Spring/Summer season.

The hottest trends of RAFW 2011 - defined.

Australian Fashion Week 2011: Week's End

May 7th 2011 19:17

RAFW has wrapped for another year! But before we take a closer look at the emerging trends of the Spring/Summer 2011/12 season I'd like to show you some of my favourite looks from Day Five: specifically, those of Toni Maticevski (who is back in Oz after a five year absence), Saint Augustine Academy (a local favourite fronted by music-loving creative director Alvin Manalo), and Bowie (theatrical bridal couture and evening wear at its decadent best). Note: if any of the pics are too small for a proper look, click to enlarge them in a new tab. Fashion Peach readers, commence your scrolling... now.

Toni Maticevski's nature-inspired collection showed that attention to detail yields stunning results

Australian Fashion Week 2011: The looks, continued

May 5th 2011 22:11

Lisa Ho, Michael Lo Sordo, Gary Bigeni, Alice McCall and last year's standout Dion Lee were among the many big names flaunting their Spring/Summer collections on Days Three and Four of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. My favourite new looks included the playful print dresses and seventies-inspired stylings of Bec & Bridge and the crisp, clean lines and muted colour palettes of the always-elegant Arnsdorf. Here's a small sample from the midweek shows of RAFW 2011.

Australian Fashion Week 2011: The looks so far

May 3rd 2011 20:02

We're just two days in to this year's Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and have already seen some truly epic new looks for the upcoming Spring/Summer season. The vibrant colour blocking of Karla Spetic, the sexy slashings of Friend of Mine, the slimline metallics of Rachel Gilbert, the earthiness of Kirrily Johnston, the raw botanicals of Sara Phillips and Therese Rawsthorne... there's been so many different styles and vibes already, with so little time and space to capture them! Here's just a tiny sample of what RAFW 2011 has given us so far.

RAFW returns!

April 23rd 2011 07:41

With just nine days to go until Rosemount Australian Fashion Week hits Sydney once again, our local designers are no doubt feeling the pressure as they put the finishing touches on their Spring/Summer 2011/12 collections. Running from the 2nd to the 6th of May, this year's RAFW will once again be held at Sydney's beautiful Circular Quay and will feature some of the biggest names in Australian fashion design (and a handful of talented up-and-comers as well).

Australian Fashion Week 2010: The verdict

May 11th 2010 06:32

Having written several posts on this year's Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, I must admit that I'm feeling a bit of fashion fatigue! No doubt I'm not the only one, so I'll make this verdict short and sweet. While the designs shown this year were as diverse as the designers themselves, there are a few key trends that are expected to be big news by the time spring rolls around, and for the fashion-loving folk among us they will no doubt be taken on long before the winter woollies come off.

Australian Fashion Week 2010: Week's End

May 8th 2010 00:59

Rosemount Australian Fashion Week has come to a close for another year, but before we give a closer analysis of the up-and-coming trends, let's take a look at the collections that were shown on the final day. Gary Bigeni's elegant draping and Ruby Smallbone's subtle but sexy cutouts were among my favourites; Ms Unkon did a quirky (but very cute) take on summer style; Gail Sorronda took things sky-high while Ksubi's look was something else entirely....

Australian Fashion Week 2010: Part Three

May 7th 2010 00:55

The old-school femininity of Jayson Brunsdon's designs and the fabulous ready-to-wear collection by Ae'lkemi; the jungle fever of Kirrily Johnston and the cute-as-a-button cossies by Anna & Boy; the futuristic designs of last year's sweetheart Dion Lee and the costume-y colour of Romance Was Born.... all have made an appearance on the catwalks of RAFW, and all are here for your viewing pleasure. Four days down and one to go!

Super-cute floral swimcaps sat atop the models' noggins at Anna & Boy... love the freckles!

Australian Fashion Week 2010: The looks, continued

May 6th 2010 10:33

Nicola Finetti, Zimmermann, Ellery, Alice McCall and many more have showed off their spring/summer collections at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, with the unique flavours of each designer really coming to the fore. Manning Cartell's stern black-and-whites were in stark contrast to Kate Sylvester's whimsical cuteness; Bec & Bridge went sheer as sheer could be; and Alex Perry made a big impression with his gorgeous, gauzy gowns. Here's another handful of RAFW photos, with more on the way very soon....

Australian Fashion Week 2010: The looks so far

May 5th 2010 00:19

We're nearly halfway through this year's Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and so it's time to take a look at some of the collections we've seen so far. Well-established designers like Lisa Ho, Camilla Franks and Aurelio Costarella have all brought their own signature stylings to the fore, with the usual splashes of vibrant colour from Franks, gorgeous maxis and blush-pink outfits from Lisa Ho and an earthy aesthetic from Costarella, who also chose to use faux fur detailing..... something of a rarity for a spring/summer collection but hey, it worked!

April 16th 2010 01:24

Now in its fifteenth year, Rosemount Australian Fashion Week is hitting Sydney from the 3rd to the 7th of May, 2010. As usual it will be featuring the spring/summer collections from the pinnacle of Australian fashion designers, and once again, I'll be writing about the fresh new Aussie designs in a three-part series. You'll be seeing some of our best local talent - both designers, and models - showcasing the hottest looks of the upcoming season.

Australian Fashion Week 2009: The looks so far

April 29th 2009 00:29

We're two days in and not even a blackout could stop the designs from dazzling the crowd! Several new trends appear to be emerging from the ranks of the Aussie designers, some in obvious contrast to the designs of years past, and others that were entirely unexpected. In particular, we're seeing lots of unusual necklines, cutout pieces, futuristic shapes and graphic prints - with not a scrap of lace or floral to be seen.
