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.

Digital prints reigned supreme at the 2010 RAFW. From left to right: Ginger & Smart, Lisa Ho and Seventh Wonderland

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!

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.

Australian Fashion Week is coming!

April 16th 2009 08:46

Sure, it's got nothing on the New York or London fashion weeks, but the Australian Fashion Week is still an excellent opportunity for local designers to show off their 2009 collections - and give the fashion-conscious some idea of what we'll be wearing for the next couple of seasons. Sponsored by Rosemount, AFW is in its 14th year and will be running from the 27th of April to the 1st of May.
