ELLERY

Never underestimate an Aussie is what I've come to learn especially when it comes to Australian fashion week! One of the brands I have seriously come to love is ELLERY! It has pretty much made its name on being the go to brand for the "it" girl. What I love is that their pieces are modern but not that too in your face, futuristic stuff, its been done. Their stuff is subtle yet new, bold and soft, a harmony of opposites. Here are some snaps from their Summer 2012 show. 

Tisci's Winner

 They say this is one Tisci's best collections yet, I don't know if it was the absolute best but is sure was  amazing! The key word for Riccardo this season was: tailoring, and a lot of it. Tisci brought in this play on the masculine and feminine with the manly-ish equestrian style played with the peplum (that are everywhere this season. The color palette was kept tight to neutrals and blacks however the pops of red were greatly welcomed. 


My favorite element was the play on the opposites. Feminine and masculine, dainty and heavy, and dark and bright. The full, busy frocks hanging from a dainty thin little strap. The black mixed in with the bright, rich vibrant reds, stunning Tisci! I heart for sure! 

Gucci Romance

I know it has been absolutely FOREVER since I posted up a review but hey life got in the way, in a BIG way. Anyway back with the fashion, I am starting with Gucci. I know this show was a while ago and you probably all have seen plenty of reviews for it but... Frida Giannini is my new hero and I cannot pass up reviewing this stunner of a collection! 

She has had show stopper collections one after the other and this season, Frida turns the tables. There was something of a dark romanticism, it was dark it was dreary but it was beautiful. The color palette revolved around blacks, dark browns, plum and a splash of royal green. the romance came in with the loose shapes, the rich tapestry and the sea of velvet. For me this show was a signal of a new woman, a woman I wanna be! She was soft in her fabric, dark in her colors and strong through the menswear influence. The Gucci woman this season is soft, feminine but strong and powerful. What an amazing combination. 

My jaw just about dropped to the floor when the evening-wear came rolling out. All I could think about was if Tim Burton and Gucci were stuck in a room that is what would have come walking out. Definite show stopper gowns, its a brave and daring woman who walks out in those. No doubt that these will be doing the red carpet and socialite circuit as soon as they are off the runway.


In case you didn't catch on I am in love with this! 

Wang Pre-Fall

Absolutely in love with this absolute genius collection. Wang found a way to bring urban, "street" style into the realm of ever-so-chic. The designer expolred many different materials and textures with this collection, combining mesh, and wool. A menswear inspiration was the clear motif of the collection. Wang stayed ever so true to his urban aesthetic however gave us a new chic twist. A definite stand out look? the red mesh with the tailored skirt over top!

A king of layering and urban-chic, Wang knocked this one out of the park.
