David Jones A/W 2008 Collections Launch
Written by Tania Braukamper
A tree-lined catwalk set the scene for Wednesday night's David Jones Autumn/Winter collections launch. Titled 'A Japanese Story', the parade showcased top Australian designers from Sass & Bide through to the likes of Collette Dinnigan and Akira.
Model and long-time face of David Jones Megan Gale bade an emotional yet gracious farewell to the David Jones runway - accepting a bunch of flowers while a flutter of "snow" rained down gently at the end of the runway.
Our top picks? Look out for Sally Smith's equestrian-inspired ensembles; Alex Perry's tulle-bottomed gowns which channel this year's sheer trend; Alannah Hill's darker than usual colour palette; and Simona's exotic floor-length dresses.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
