RAFW 2010 – Dion Lee

On a picture perfect backdrop on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, Dion Lee once agained wowed the audience with his unique design aesthetic, architechtural brilliance and immense attention to detail. Softening structured edges on last year, the show opened to a mesh story, light tailoring and then a series of blotted ink prints in lilac, pale blue, black and petrol seen through micro dresses, skirts and relaxed jackets. The moment that left everyone spinning were the pleated pieces in soft pastels that twisted, folded, draped and were left swinging in the breeze, highlighted by the morning sun shining through the historic venue. The Facade collection was one to remember and Dion Lee is undoubtedly a superstar of the future.

Through a maze of bronzed pyramids and smoke, sequins back with cream jackets and nude belted waists were the highlights of Ellery’s Spring/Summer 2010/11 collection. Liquid leather dresses and shorts worn with buttoned up sleeveless shirting, super flares, raw edges and a hint of mustard and electric blue featured through the endless gold, silver and neutral tones. Models were laden in crystal sparkles and gold glitter masks. Loved. My favourite part about last night? My apartment overlooks Fox Studios so we could simply walk…Perfect!

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.

RAFW 2010 – Rachel Gilbert

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.
