JULIETTE HOGAN. BITTER SWEET MEMORIES AW11/12 Polished and prim with a hint of toughness in the collection, Juliette Hogan‘s AW11/12 collection aptly named Bitter Sweet Memories brought about models with their hair neatly brushed in a low ponytail, minimal fresh makeup with envelope clutches, wearing cut out brogues or demure pumps both worn with ankle…

Karen Walker named Auckland-based designer Adrian Hailwood as the new name to watch in 2004 and so the label Hailwood held great expectations and the collection didn’t disappoint! I particularly loved the sequin fish tailed floor length dress as well as the beautiful electric blue scattered throughout the collection while the use of fringing, impeccable…

Highly anticipated debut show (second for the day 1) was label COOP by Lauren and Samantha. Having no clue about this label, I did a bit of a google – though that didn’t help much. Being from Sydney, Australia meant I had a completely unbiased take on every designer showing at NZFW (with the exception…

The opening show for New Zealand Fashion Week was the lovable label Ingrid Starnes who’s designs have been described as having a vintage-feel with modern shapes and a focus on the female silouette.

Yoü And I. Yuyi the Mermaid. Gaga and alter ego Jo Calderone. Romance. Love. Passion. Nothing about this video that disappoints. Where ‘The Edge of Glory’ was a heartfelt no dance, no insane video but held more meaning then spectacle, ‘Yoü And I’ is both – heartfelt and spectacle. Lovers will be united. xx

Nicola Formichetti. Many of you might know him as fashion director behind Mugler or as Lady Gaga’s stylist. With an impeccable style and design aesthetic, it was only a matter of time before Formichetti created his own fashion line – and yes it has been confirmed. Juggling many job titles such as the two mentioned…

Last night I attended the Claire Inc x The Corner Shop collaborative store collection launch which was held in The Strand Arcade in Sydney. For those who don’t have a clue, Claire Inc basically is a Australian owned and run business specialising in sourcing and selling vintage designer fashion. The SS11/12 range at The Corner…

Raquel Zimmermann for Fall 2011 Alexander Wang, shot by Fabien Baron and styled by Karl Templer, a darker, more sinister look at Alexander Wang. Accompanied by an equally but more dark and eerie video, the Fall campaign has certainly turned heads in the fashion community! I can’t wait to see what accessories Alexander Wang has…

Sydney Monster Hall show. Lady Gaga spectacular. Mother Monster. xx
