Miss Lyndel Yeo is never one to shy away from bright colours and bold prints... and her Spring collection for 2008 is no exception. Eye-catching pinks, purples and blues are paired with feminine cuts and floaty fabrics for a fresh, lively feel. We especially love the ruffled single-shoulder dresses and the addition of the rose fascinator headband... so perfect for the spring racing season!

Miss Lyndel Yeo will be featured on the runway at MSFW's High Fashion, High Tea. Book your tickets early to ensure your place, and also to go into the draw to win some great prizes.
Antonia Paris' Spring/Summer 2008/2009 collection recently debuted at Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival alongside the likes of Bettina Liano and Nevenka. A simple yet seductive range that plays a lot to 2008's single-shoulder trend, Antonia's dresses mix flouncing ruffles with fitted silhouettes, playful feathers, and ruched satin.

Paris and Milan have been abuzz, with the latest Spring-Summer menswear collections hitting the runways. There will be more about the trends later, for now check out one of the highlights: the 1950s rock 'n' roll meets modern gentlemen portrayed by Moschino's 2009 show.

If you didn't get to Alexi Freeman's Spring/Summer 08-09 collection preview, you probably missed out (and so did I). But, luckily for all of us, you can find a lookbook of all his gorgeous 'Nautical but Nice' pieces in the Forums.
Is not out yet (sorry to get you all excited), but Chanel are leading up to their cruise collection show with a few podcasts and in that vein here's the first release; an unsurprisingly simple yet elegant video.
If you can't wait for the show which is on May 15 head over to their site, and have your iPod ready for some Pre-Chanel show podcast love.
Designer, fashioniser, and rising star Alexi Freeman proves that Australia isn't always behind when it comes to fashion.
Alexi's divine A/W 2008 collection, which hits the racks of Milly Sleeping next month, is right on top of the biggest runway trends - featuring elements of sheer fabrics, wide-leg pants, star motifs, and all with his own unique take of bad-girl meets classic belle.

Natalie Portman doesn't care for cruelty, that is cruelty to animals. Which is why she got involved with Té Casan & helped design a new line of shoes which promise to be cruelty free. According to Elle she told PETA that "All of my shoes are from Target or Stella McCartney" oh and she's also a vegan. We aren't fans PETA, mostly because of the crazy stunts they pull, but we can appreciate her intentions. It's just that the shoes aren't that exciting, they aren't bad but really would you be willing to pay a little extra to be boring but ethical?
We've been adoring women's leather jackets for quite some time, but finding hot men's versions hasn't proved quite as easy. Enter Vincent & Vincent - designer label in leather goods from Perth, Australia.
We were fortunate enough to be given a preview of the Autumn / Winter 2008 range - and all we have to say is WOW! The jackets are hand-tailored; made with Italian leather, carved horn buttons, and silk linings.
I was lucky enough to stumble across Kirsty Doyle's 2007 A/W Collection. Kirsty was the winner of London's Project Catwalk (the English equivalent of Project Runway), I thought her collection was definitely worth sharing. Hopefully this will be the level at which we'll see the winners of all the Project x's aiming for!

More photos from the collection after the jump.
