New York Fashion Week: Anna Sui

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Dresses that might belong on pretty porcelain dolls, with short full skirts and beautifully bold patterns; rock-chic accessories like slouchy striped socks, patent leather belts, and ripped stockings. What a combination from Anna Sui, and it somehow just works.

New York Fashion Week: Jill Stuart

AUTHOR DATE TIME

In Jill Stuart's collection floaty lace mini-dresses - some of them barely even there - proved that legs are again to see the light of day. The short length of the dresses is complimented well by their shape - giving the feeling of daintiness. Menswear was tailored but with a hint of attitude.

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Romanticism was certainly the theme at Jovovich-Hawk, with pretty dresses a-plenty. The collection had a distinctly retro/vintage feel to it, emphasised by vintage hats and hairdos to match each era represented in the clothing.

Inside Fashion Week - MaraJoara Swimwear

AUTHOR DATE TIME

MaraJoara may have caused quite a storm in the media over their use of 'everyday' women as models... but that didn't stop them from putting on a grand performance at Australian Fashion Week yesterday.

Rather than play it safe and take Australian Fashion Week out with a fizzle, MaraJoara decided to throw caution to the wind in favour of a show that was bold, bright and entertaining; ending the week with a bang.

The colour palette was formed by a wide array of bold shades and funky prints; with one-piece swimsuits in interesting cuts taking just as much of the spotlight as the classic bikini. The outfits were accentuated by bright beads and tribal-esque jewellery for both guys and girls.

MaraJoara and their everyday models

AUTHOR DATE TIME

There's a storm in a tea cup currently underway in Melbourne - swimwear house, and resident fashionisers, MaraJoara are the talk of the day after Australian Fashion Week organisers reputedly threatened to cancel their show as a result of them using size 8 to 12 models.

As non-conformist as the organisers might have viewed it, the show went ahead as planned and the models (with a few Rogues amongst them), irrespective of their size, all personified beauty.
