You know I’d never heard of Moon Young Hee but I am loving this collection more than even some of my favourite heavyweights. She’s certainly not designing anything earth-shatteringly new, but the formula works beatifully and it makes my heart race.

Hee’s dramatic elegance is fiercely feminine which is something I’ve really pushed myself away from in the last year or so, sartorially speaking. Recently I am finding myself becoming increasingly bitter over how much more I prefer men’s fashion to women’s – but androgynous style is cut for an androgynous figure. I might not have the figure of a femme-fatale but I just can’t pull off the many “boyfriend” shapes that appeal to me.

Hee’s collection reminds me that it’s OK to wear a skirt and feel pretty, while still retaining the strong sense of aesthetic definition I’ve been craving in my wardrobe.

Loving Kirrily Johnston’s AW10 collection, Cave Dwellers. The collection’s moody androgyny is harmoniously composed, with each piece complimenting the others perfectly. From withdrawn minimalism to heavy avante garde layering, this versatile collection has wide appeal despite it’s strong aesthetic convictions.

My major covets are the insanely beautiful pony-hair boots that Johnston is re-releasing this season in black, and the ridiculous shaggy cardigan/jacket – which I can confirm feels like a nomadic dream when worn.
Be still my beating heart.

I know they’ve been getting around, but when you see the images from Lang’s Fall 2010 RTW collection it’s easy to see why, when asked on Formspring which clothing brand I would wear exclusively for the rest of my life, I chose Helmut Lang.

Sleek, elegant, ageless – but with attitude.

I was very honoured to be invited by Sportsgirl to attend their AW10 Preview runway show on Monday night in Melbourne’s Docklands.

Ebony and Hayley from Fashion Hayley.

Phoebe from Lady Melbourne and Vanessa from Hallowed Be Thy Name.

I wore a tank from K-Mart, Bandage Skirt from Kookai, Flats from Mollini and Necklaces from Alegorie.

There was a quirky and colourful dance/acrobatic performance to entertain the audience at various periods throughout the show.

It was my first runway as a media representative and a good practise for LMFF which I hope to attend as a media rep in March. Needless to say I had a bit of a struggle trying to tame my camera amidst the colourful and fast-paced conditions, and as a result mostly stuck to photographing the amazing shoes (which suited me fine).

One thing I will say for Sportsgirl is they’re probably the most “on trend” high street retailer in Australia, bringing through runway inspired styles faster than any other chain store that target’s the same demographic. As an accessophile, the highlight of the collection for me was definitely the shoes.

Thanks Sportsgirl.

The top leather jacket is absolutely beautiful. The cagey, bondage characteristics in this collection are really resonating with me.

Loving this elegantly deconstructed range by Dagmar – the three sister design team from Sweden.
I’ve always had a strange fondness for baggy tights, these loose black sheer leggings are wonderful. Not available in Australia yet unfortunately.
