While this weekend’s weather has made shooting personal style photos pretty much an impossible task, I thought I’d take this moment to catch up on a post that I’ve been meaning to publish but just haven’t had the time: Emma Mulholland‘s solo debut at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia.

I personally didn’t attend the actual show; and I’m kinda glad I didn’t make the trip out there for it as quite a few accredited invitees like myself, were turned away from the show due to the venue being over-capacitated. I would’ve liked to have been there, however I imagine that I would’ve been hella-pissed if I had to make a 2 hour round trip to Carriageworks to then be turned away…

Anyways – I’ve been a fan of Emma’s handicraft for some time now, with this being my very first piece from her ‘Bad As Iguana Be‘ collection that I still utterly adore. A couple of seasons later and I feel absolutely no different about her SS13 collection, Spring Break.

As you can see, the collection features a shit-ton of bright colours and a clash between 80′s winter vs. summer. The show also featured footwear provided by ASOS, who supported five shows in total at MBFWA this year. Now although you’ll have to wait a while to get your hands on Spring Break, ASOS has given you the chance to semi-shop the look now; the flatform creepers and pimsolls worn exclusively down the runway are available online as we speak! You’re welcome.

MBFWA: Manning Cartell SS13

Day two of this year’s MBFWA experience started and ended with my first show at 5pm – Manning Cartell.

I chose not to take time off from work this year to attend Fashion Week on a full-time basis, and a result of this is that I have had to be very selective about the shows I choose to see as I am only really able to attend just one show per day.

Anyways – back to the details; held at a truly industrial space that is The Shed at Carriageworks, Manning Cartell‘s SS13 collection, Fate & Chance featured a variety of design elements that ranged from futuristic aesthetics – structured and firm shiny fabrics – to more feminine components with sheer, layered netting and lace creating delicate-hard juxtapositions.

Fate & Chance is definitely a collection that I can envision myself picking not just a few, but multiple looks from – without any issues; however I’m not too sure my credit card would agree with me though…

MBFWA: Camilla and Marc SS13

Day one of MBFWA started off with a bang with the crowd buzzing (to say the least) at this year’s new venue – Carriageworks. Kicking off the week was Camilla and Marc who, also celebrating their 10th year anniversary this year opened MBFWA with their spring/summer 2013 runway show: Concentric.

Concentric was inspired by the layers of the Russian Matryoska Doll, citing parallels between the layered dolls and the brand’s own layered past; conveying a sense of harmonious interplay between it’s history and the brand as it is now. The collection is a vivid, textual, sharp showcase of Camilla and Marc‘s signature styles and silhouettes, updated with a modern viewpoint.

Over the last 10 years, Camilla and Marc have shaped their brand into being one of Australia’s most coveted; and I’m sure that there are very few doubts that they will continue to do so in the coming years. Congratulations C&M!
