Bianca Spender’s silky red pussy cat bow dress and beautiful navy blue long leather skirt, along with checked blue and red military style overcoat were also highlights.
No one does cool contemporary casual wear better than bassike, showcasing an array of statement wardrobe must-haves.
While Camilla and Marc are the masters of structured but sexy suiting for women, one of the key trends for the new season.
New collections from Acler, Morrison, C/Meo Collective, By Johnny, Anna Quan and Hansen & Gretel featured in the second premium runway. Stunning dark navy florals and vibrant red from Morrison were shown in gorgeous ruffled dresses, asymmetrical skirts and pussy bow shirts. Soft oversized knits were paired with lightweight floaty fabrics and long boots, perfect for winter wear.
C/Meo Collective’s transeasonal collection including mini party and strapless dresses can be worn now or layered with knits, coats and boots for cooler temperatures.
Checks and stripes (pinstripe and bold), berets, silver shoes and knee high boots will all be popular trends for the new season. While the oversized metallic earring trend of the last couple of seasons shows no signs of abating.
Carla Zampatti, Macgraw, Manning Cartel, Rachel Gilbert and Kacey/Devlin will be on show tonight ahead of the glamour bridal show featuring Toni Maticevski, Jason Grech and Steven Khalil.
