Melbourne Spring Fashion Week; Town Hall Parade 2
Written by Daniel P Dykes
Hitting the second catwalk of second of the official Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW) fashion parades, Dhini opened with a march and salute that proved that the military fashion trend is equally as strong for Spring/Summer 2009/2010 in Melbourne as it has been elsewhere.
Though fashion trends didn't prove be a major reference point for all designers involved.
LIFEwithBIRD and Gorman both presented relaxed collections, with infusions of cuts, brights and patterns not common for the season; though from Gorman did include a muted gold colour palette akin to the tone which had formed the crux of Ralph Lauren's Spring/Summer 2009 collection.
Ginger & Smart's collection shared equal traits with Gorman and LIFEwithBIRD, though play suits, caftans and sheer elements all harked back to current or previous seasons.
Both Kirrily Johnston and Nicola Finetti provided the parade's evening pieces, with everything from the mini-dress to floor length evening-ware included. While both presented a similar colour palette, Johnston's cuts were the more relaxed of the two and also included a selection of menswear.
