MSFW: Peter Alexander – Slumber in the City
MSFW: Designer Series 1
Arnsdorf opened the Designer Series 1 runway at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2010. The designs possessed constrained volume and geometric construction with pastel colours and fractal patterns. Vibrant and fun short chiffon skirts, cropped jackets and puffy sleeved dresses were spotted. Also we witnessed stiff neoprene formed into cocoon-like silhouettes and heavy materials somehow turned [...]
Dresscode: MSFW Designer Series 1
Task for tonight: Figure out how to set camera to timer so I don’t have to try to get a decent shot while my resident photographer is away. And so Pawley stops looking at me like I am out of my tiny mind at 2.30am in the morning. Awkwardly photographing yourself in the mirror somehow [...]
Dresscode: MLY at MSFW
The dresscode for Miss Lyndel Yeo’s 5th Birthday celebrations at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week said “red carpet” but I didn’t want to go too outlandish as the star of the show was the gorgeous Lyndel herself in one of her deliciously berry-hued gowns. So I settled for a streamlined take on my beloved silver…and am [...]
Miss Lyndel Yeo’s 5th Birthday Party
Miss Lyndel Yeo let loose an animalistic Melbourne Spring Fashion Week parade last night as she celebrated her label’s 5th birthday with a review of her mainline and MLY Black Label collections for Spring 2010.

Dresscode: The MSFW launch party
The occasion: Melbourne Spring Fashion Week’s 2010 launch party
The venue: an underground carpark transformed with mirrored blooms, avant garde fashion creations and a pretty lady draped in floral fabric reclining inside the glass bar.
The dresscode: Quote “Dress for unexpected opulence and experience fabulous glamour…”
Thankfully I received a heaven-sent message from the lovely local designer offering his services [...]

Fashion Icons on Film
Barbara Hulanicki may be an unfamiliar name to Australians of my generation but if you were a young Londoner in the 60’s you probably would have visited her iconic fashion store Biba, or yearned to. Locally you may be more familiar with the similar logo of Biba hair salons (though I’m unsure of the [...]
