all in

spring/ summer 2011 is all in store and even heading towards sale shortly. lets talk favourites. minimalist is making a come back with celine and calvin. tailored leather hasnt died yet and neither has neon apparently. this was brought to my attention by australian fashion week which was buzzing in sydney earlier this month.

to be blunt i wasnt particularly impressed by the designers creations or the attendees to their shows. its been a few years but when did fashion week become filled with bloggers and students? sadly, the sparkle is lost. it had some (even though some would debate me over it) and now its..uneventful. very flat, copies of old season trends that have finally made it to our shores from europe and the u.s.

dion held his own well with chic plastic tear fabrics and aqua and white tailored pieces. goot stayed with the tulip and stepped up to the plate however they were really the only ones up to standard. lover did givenchy. red lace and cream base. trungs designs resembled sheets hung out to dry.

so with those comments lets keep it to a list of favourites for international spring/summer..leather, minimalist, block colours and blocked shapes.

celine and calvin hit it on the head. they started the wave and others are following. the line is 60s and simple. keeping things feminine and chic. i think australian designers could take a leaf or two out of their book.
