Antonia Paris at High Fashion, High Tea 2009

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Antonia Paris is one burgeoning designer that we've been watching for a while now; her ability to inject a wow-factor into pieces that are otherwise made up of clean lines and block colours is a developed skill, and seems to be emerging as her trademark style. Last year it was all about ruffles and asymmetry; at High Fashion, High Tea 2009, we saw a collection of pieces in simple black and white, that rather made their finer detailing the focus - from cutaway shoulders, to unconventional draping, to intricate beading.

Elise Overland Spring/Summer 2010 at NYFW

AUTHOR DATE TIME

There's a very elegant simplicity to Elise Overland's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Showing on the runway at New York Fashion Week, Overland stuck mostly to block colours in a palette of blacks and nudes. Flowing on from her previous Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 collection, which heavily used leather as its basis, the leather trend reappears in many forms for Spring; from midriff-baring tops, to shorts and dresses.

Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2010 NYFW

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Victoria Beckham's Spring/Summer 2010 collection is exactly as you'd imagine it: a mixture of geometric cuts, peplums, and largely conservative colours. In fact, it's most striking attribute is precisely how subdued the collection, in its entirety, is; there aren't any show stopping looks to speak of, unlike other Spring 2010 catwalks it was intimately presented and was without something you could formally identify as a runway, and it still feels like a collection that wouldn't be amiss on Roland Mouret's catwalk.

Saint Augustine Academy at High Fashion, High Tea

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Saint Augustine Academy have wowed us time and again with their rock-inspired looks. Mixing Dandy elements with 60s Mod shapes in their Spring/Summer 2009/2010 collection, the label achieved a level of effortless charm. On the runway at High Fashion, High Tea 2009 models rocked ruffle-front tuxedo minidresses, sheer and lace detailing, and - one of our favourites - some silk shantung short shorts that can so easily transcend from day to night.

Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2010: NYFW

AUTHOR DATE TIME

It wasn't so long ago that Alexander Wang injected a high dosage of glamour into grunge, and helped spawn a street trend of high fashion mixed with ripped stockings and boyfriend shirts. Now, with his Spring/Summer 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week, Wang has turned his hand to sportswear; transfusing it with that same understated glam-factor that he does so well.

Monarchy Men's & Women's Spring 2010

AUTHOR DATE TIME

There's something utterly European about the appeal of Monarchy's Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk for men and women; in itself that's not surprising given their past seasons, but it does provide a marked difference amongst other collections showing at New York Fashion Week.

Grecian and sheer pieces mix with plunging necklines in the women's component of the collection, while the men's component is replete with trim tailoring and piped blazers that wouldn't be amiss in either a Ralph Lauren or Paul Smith collection.

Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2010 wows us

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Cushnie et Ochs see themselves a label for women with a heightened sense of sexuality, and women who want to blur the line between sexy and sophisticated. With the use of some of the most alluring 2010 fashion trends, though not exclusively from the Spring 2010 season, I can confidently proclaim that they have created a collection guaranteed to appeal to the women they had in mind when they put needle to cloth.

Gwendolynne at High Fashion, High Tea 2009

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Gwendolynne is something of a Melbourne fashion icon. Well known for her intricate beading and elaborate detailing, each of her pieces is not just exquisite, but also timeless. On the runway at MSFW (Melbourne Spring Fashion Week) for High Fashion, High Tea 2009, Gwendolynne's gowns were paired with equally beautiful headpieces by Richard Nylon.

While her offering at the Town Hall Designer Series Show 1 was more whimsical - with shorter hemlines and vibrant colours - Saturday's show focused on the classically romantic; with slim silhouettes, sweeping trains, ruffles, bows, pearls and pleats.

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week; Town Hall Parade 4

AUTHOR DATE TIME

From the very beginning of the fourth of the official catwalks held during 2009's Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW) there was a seemingly collective effort for most of the labels to lean towards one of the this year's more subtle trends fashion year; the tribal nomad. The trend, which has seen a very steady following in menswear recent years courtesy of labels such as Damir Doma and Julius, was reinterpreted into women's wear.
