Day 4 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week
10 May, 2009
Ok sorry everyone but after a much later evening at the party than planned, day four was a bit of a right-off. Fortunately one of the team did manage to drag themselves out of bed to make the Gary Bigeni show. It was a really nice show, very signature Bigeni, clean and sleek with a palette of five block colours – black, bright sky blue, lilac, deep mauve and light grey. The show was accompanied by a beautiful looped film clip of Rachel Rutt surrounded by a with a sheath of sheer, billowing fabric. Loved Myf Shepherd in the opening look, a full length black asymmetrical gown with gold side zip and one ankle-length billowing arm. It’s always so funny to see Gary walk out afterwards dressed in a colourful mash of shorts over pants, patterns, stripes, bow tie and platform brogues after seeing such a clean, pared-back collection.Read more
Day 3 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week Part 3
5 May, 2009
The final show of the evening before skipping off to the party was one of our own, Jayson Brunsdon, in his ‘homecoming’ show – his first show on home shores in three years. After a dark year Jayson was inspired by colour, simplicity and glamour, as epitomised by the muse for his new collection, his mother Dorothy and images of her at chic backyard barbeques and poolside parties.

5 May, 2009
Marnie Skillings was the next show for the afternoon and we had heard from a friend of hers that this season was killer. Marnie mixed her trademark sweet floral femininity with a hard shot of rock chic for her new collection, with the help of Chaingang drummer Skarlett Saramore, who accompanied the show with a thrashing drum solo alongside the catwalk, clad in black jeans and a black sequin bikini.

The Grand Social RAFW Mid-Week Party 'The Escape'
4 May, 2009
What a night! Well I think we can safely say everyone had a lot of fun, & judging by how packed out it still was at 4am it looked like no one was wanting to go home! There must have been some very sore heads at the Romance Was Born show just a few hours later, ouch. Founder of the Milan fashion week party Punks Wear Prada, DJ Natasha Slater was a huge favourite, spinning out lots of dance-friendly tracks & Kirrilly Johnston also jumped on the decks for a guest spot.

Day 3 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week Part 1
4 May, 2009
Well Day 3 began with a very nice start to the day – meeting the lovely French fashion blogger Garance Dore, garancedore.fr/en flown over by IMG for RAFW (alongside her partner Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist). We had been plucking up the courage for the past two days to approach her for a style shot and we finally caught her walking across the prime expanse heading towards the OPT building. With her was the also very nice Linlee Allen (the Australian fashion writer who has written for style.com, V, i-d, Purple to name a few and was covering RAFW for Grazia online – also check out her blog here linleeloves.blogspot.com) who made sure we were aware of the gravity of the situation, “you know this is Garance Dore right?”.
