Front row at Alex Perry allowed for full appreciation of the biggest show of RAFW 2010….Over 1400 people, 100 meter long runway and a consuming energy for all the stars that were out to play. The Arabian Princess collection presented sheer lace and feathery embellishments, bunched-up tulle-overloaded ball gowns and Grecian inspired dresses. A zebra stripe featured in mini dresses and sharp shouldered fitted jackets. Sequins, sparkles, boning back with flowing silks and all things good adorned these memorable frocks.

Ginger & Smart, Lucette, Zambesi and Bec & Bridge to name a few kicked off day one of RAFW. Rachel Gilbert showcased a beautiful and balanced collection of sweet and sexy detailed dresses and floor length gowns. Think scaley, sequinned straps wrapping up floaty silks, thick cut outs with large sculptural ruffles and sheer panelling. Tones of pale pink, creams, lolly pink, black and a cute zip story in lilac and cream was my pick of the evening.

We have a full showroom this week…Lulu and Liv are my saviors as we cram in over 25 buyers, 8 collections and all over 5 days of Fashion Week. So many people are in town and they are used to the frenzy that comes with RAFW! Headed down to the Overseas Passenger Terminal and the atmosphere was buzzing. From all my travels around the world, it’s so exciting to attend our very own Fashion Week with our very own style. We spend the day juggling between the showroom and the fashion shows as don’t want to miss too many of them! Our store in Paddington Come As You Are holds a parade of fashionistas all day and I’m loving the people watching xx

Lots happening in the prelude to the big week!
- The amazing Garance Dore talks fashion blogging with fellow blogger and journalist Patty Huntington (frockwriter.blogspot.com) at the presentation of her beautiful illustrations for the Westfields Winter launch that can be viewed at Bondi Junction and Doncaster Westfields. What a wonderful insight into the world of fashion blogging and her dedication of staying true to her blog and only posting on the shows and things she loves.
- The divine duo, Scott Schuman and Garance Dore have already posted on Sydney street style. Gorgeous as per! (garancedore.fr/en) & (thesartorialist.blogspot.com)
- Like a scene out of Shakespere’s As You Like It, the wonderful Marni Skillings had her off site Lady.Nimble.Shadow Spring/Summer 2010/11 show in the beautiful Botanical Gardens yesterday.
- Glamour is the word as Carla Zampatti opened her beautiful Woollahra home to launch her Spring/Summer 2010/11 collection. The elegant collection was accessorized by Michelle Jank’s unique headgear and elbow-length gloves. What a fashion icon for Australia, with over 45 years in the industry Carla Zampatti is going from strength to strength.

Grazia magazine came out with some fabulous pointers this week on “how to get spotted by The Satorialist”. With ideas like “ignore him, play hard to get,” ”never look him in the eye” and ” don’t ever smile, put your shoulders back and cross your legs if wearing heels,” I couldn’t help but have a chuckle. I did like the notes on ”wear tweed, tartan or leather to catch his eye,” “invest in an It bag,” and ”wear muted tones and make sure you’re in a fabulous light.” Very insightful! The Grazia girls always are…I have to say, everyone really took a step up with some adorable outfits being sported around the OPT. I was visualizing many an inspiring photograph being published by the marvellous Scott Schuman.

A star-studded audience packed the OPT on Tuesday night for the much awaited Coca-Cola Little Black Dress Show at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. Australia’s top fashion designers Sass & Bide, Willow, Alice McCall, Romance Was Born, Alex Perry, Kirilly Johnston, Marnie Skillings, Kate Sylvester, Alpha 60 and Missoni re-created the LDB drawing inspiration from the ever-curvacious CC bottle! My favourite dress? The Marnie Skillings belted LBD with tulle overlay, magnificent.

The lines were fluid at Therese Rawsthorne with modern- feminine silhouettes in nude, peach, white and cornflower blue. Relaxed shirting and silk frill dresses, were teamed back with long-line taylored jackets, skirts and pants in magical natural washed fibres. A stretch mesh component drew an edge to the collection refining Rawsthorne’s signature style.
