Not to take any of the glory off the other talented designers that showcased today, but THREE shows caught our attention. While the colour palette remained relatively untouched, Dion Lee was divine in inky blues, Kirrily Johnston went tribal and Saint Augustine Academy got in touch with their gothic side.
In an upgrade from his Kings Cross car park debut, Lee’s collection featured an ink-blot print and pieces that mixed structured tailoring with softer elements. Cut-outs and overlapping panelling, laser cut hexagons and crisp pleating. We think Lee will have to start wearing sunglasses at night - this collection has without a doubt cemented his position as one of fashions brightest stars!!
Tribal influences were evident in Kirrily Johnston’s showcase, which featured an Aztec print throughout. Loose fitting harem pants and fringed minis featured in lush leathers, nudes and black. The pieces were teamed with ethnic, textured accessories and wrapped headdresses to complete the look. Hot tip? Save on jewellery and wear your hair as earrings!
Cleary riding on the coat-tails of Twilight fame, Saint Augustine Academy appealed to our inner vampire with a collection that was predominately B&W, with a blood red contrast – a collection that was definitely something left of centre for this year’s event. There was triple denim, rivet detailing and shock horror… not a nude or nipple in sight! C’mon ladies, get inspired and find your very own Edward Cullen.
Trends: Structure mixed with softer elements, twists and knots
Beauty: Bold and dramatic. Pale skin, dark eyes, red lips - Saint Agustine style
Accessories: Wide belts, oversized bags, textured neckpieces… hair as earrings?!
Our Favourite: The gorgeous crystal hardware from Dion Lee
