CLASS NOTES

Listen up students, you won’t want to miss this! Fashionista is bringing you all the highlights from DAY ONE. Out with your pens and start taking notes - you might just pass this exam with flying colours…

Our word of the day is NUDE – but don’t go reaching for your lemon-detox and birthday suit just yet! Neutral colour palettes reigned, featuring for most of the day. Whether it was draped, knotted or ruffled, colours such as peach, blush pink and khaki were interjected with contrasting digital prints. Leather pieces with sheer paneling – in nude of course - evoked a utilitarian feel in shows from Lucette, Zambesi and Bec & Bridge.

The standout deviation was from bikini babes, Seventh Wonderland who featured marbled technicolour bikinis and our favourite kaleidoscopic kaftan queen, Camilla Franks whose collection took clear inspiration from the Hollywood blockbuster Avatar. We can always count on Camilla for feathers, sequins and animal print and she didn’t disappoint with jungle birds, tribal disco-divas and sexy snake charmers. Aurelio Costrello also jumped on the spangled bandwagon and featured beautiful sequined dresses, topped off with snug fur vests and leather corsets to complete the look.

Want more? Head FRONT ROW for our slideshows. In a rush? Then here’s our cheat sheet…
