With a Moleskine packed with pencil sketches and scribbled notes, choosing what to illustrate for day one was no mean feat. There's so much I'd love to include here, but time is of the essence when you have just a few hours before the next day... Yesterdays picks for me were Juliette Hogan's floral prints, Hailwood's chunky belts and jewellery, Coop's prints and Zambesi's 90's inspired shapes.
The day began with some pretty fantastic people watching before Ruby / Liam started the show. Our favorite style spots for the day include Stuff’s Bronwyn Williams wearing the beautiful white Ted Baker dress, and the four eyes boys who look wonderfully dapper in bow ties, printed trousers and white chunky lace-ups.
Trends for A/W 2013 so far have included bright oranges, corals, and yellow hues along with print, pattern and wintery textures. I love the Chanel inspired quilting we saw in Hailwood and Ruby's snuggly baby blue sweaters.
Ruby’s colour pallet was largely pastel-inspired. But the insertion of strong burgandies, beanie hats and the sheer silver mini-dresses stopped the collection from being sickly sweet. I wondered at the versatility of the pieces, and came away with the feeling the garments could be blank canvases ready to put your own stamp on.
Coop’s show centred around sequins, pink-on-pink prints, photographic-inspired florals and a dominance of bold patterns. Read: get your inner girlie girl on!
The print trend was noted again in with Company of Strangers and Juliette Hogan who's ranges included black on white and neon yellow prints, 90s inspired crochet and low slung back packs. I particularly loved Hogan's amazing floral print (see illustration)
Hope you enjoy :)
