Fashion Week Q & A

Yeah, alright, as if you haven't heard enough of Fashion Week. I love it too guys, I'd just rather you save on all the time and effort it takes to report back to me and just SEND ME THERE.

Much easier, no?

But of course the easiest solution is always ignored. >sigh< Maybe next time. Until then, the next best thing: a fun Q & A spread with some of the designers. Click to enlarge.

xx and enjoy the long weekend!

Purple's in the air

Follow the suspicious trail left by our purple monster here and eat up this season's yummiest colour:plum-alicious, magenta-yummy, lilac-lickin' purple.

p.s. It looks like we've got the Australian magazine industry's answer to Gossip Girl... complete with xoxo and an air of mystery to boot.

Okay, so it has totally NOT been my fault I haven't been blogging... yes, uni, I blame YOU! >points finger in manner of US recruitment ad<
Anyway, so while you were sleeping (or not)...

Dotti literally popped up at L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival with preppy chic and Lady-of-the-manor-style elegance, complete with leather gloves and 20's style hats...(click to enlarge)



... and demonstrated a side perk of being a model - you get to stand on stage and rock out without actually having to play. Like Guitar Hero, but fifty times better.

Best outfit awards go to Martin Grant for his awesome take on metallics



and Shakuhachi for this gorgeous, awesome, sexy and somehow wearable but still unique and fashionable mama:



Awards for outfit-so-ugly-you-should-pay-ME-to-wear-it go to:
TV - what the HELL were they thinking??



and FrisonFinetti. Star Trek and communism are OVER, people!!



Best ranges:
Bettina Liano for sexy punk (I love the clothes so much I would totally marry them, except I think that's illegal)



and Gwendolynne (1) and Aurelio Costarella (2) for a refreshing dose of ethereal romance.





And last, but not least, Most Blatant Advertising Yet Still Fugly Award goes to >drumroll<...
Parade End! For their *subtle* use of Harper's Bazaar magazines.

Runway make up

Someone once said/wrote/blogged that the best thing about Australia is that we can wear seasonal trends from overseas now. Good. Because the makeup looks from New York Fashion Week Fall were hotter-than-Justin-Timberlake and I want to wear them NOW. Here's the first one from Oscar de la Renta. Click to enlarge.
