Hellooo, Haider Ackermann!

Haider Ackermann Spring/Summer ready-to-wear 2010

Haider Ackermann Cresta Leather Pocket Waistcoat

Have you ever met a piece of clothing that makes you feel that you are born to wear it? Well… I think I have just found my ideal match: Haider Ackermann’s Cresta Waistcoat (€1379) is certainly an addictive piece that I would not want to take off once I put it on. Made in Italy, this fine waistcoat with its eccentric detailing speaks of an incredible style that is elegant and refined – yet it also has a purely punky Edge that is overwhelmingly tough and powerful.

Less Than* Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

Less Than* Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

Less Than* Showroom

I remember the day when I went to the Less Than* showroom like it was yesterday. It was a fine but chilly day in March. As a result of JFW overload and unsuccessful adjustment to the weather, my brain was really frozen that day, so really, I wasn’t expecting much in particular. With a little bit of difficulty finding the venue, (because the entrance to the building was slightly hidden and that the exhibition moved from level 4 to level 5 or something like that), I made it to the showroom. Stepping into the exhibition space, one could really sense the immense creativity behind the work.

Erdem’s Colour Vision

Erdem’s Tomoko sunnies with Kyoto print £290.00

Anastasija Kondratjeva in Erdem's Tomoko sunnies

A collaboration between two amongst London’s sea of talents – the iconic eyewear label Cutler & Gross and the celebrated fashion label Erdem – resulted in something magnificent. With its colourful Kyoto watercolour-printed frame in classic sixties style, it looks like this edgy pair of Tomoko sunnies (£290.00) from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection is the perfect accessory to accompany me during the flamboyant season whether in the city of by the beach. Mmm… Fantastic!

Arnsdorf Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Arnsdorf Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Day 5 of RAFW: Arnsdorf Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11

When I first laid eyes on Arnsdorf show invitation, I knew precisely it would be something absolutely extraordinary and I was not wrong at all. Sleek, chic and extremely refined, beautiful girls with bright smiles showed off the Spring/Summer 2010/11 line entitled “Opticks” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. Designer Jade Sarita Arnott’s approach for the upcoming season focused upon the incredible idea of “reflection, refractions, inflections and colours of light”.

Miss Unkon Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Miss Unkon Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Day 5 of RAFW: Miss Unkon Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11

Circuit running fashionistas may have been über-tired on Day 5 of RAFW, but it was certainly worth running around in the highest sky high heels ever to see Miss Unkon’s Spring/Summer 2010/11 show. Designer Courtney Meyer opened the show with Olympic Ribbon Dancer Naazmi Johnston doing those unbelievable moves of her amidst the playfully decorated venue. Waving a pink ribbon gracefully in her hand, it was as if she had the wizard’s magic wand, with which she entranced the audience into a dreamy state to be in the right frame of mind for the upcoming display of absolute gorgeousness.

Kirrily Johnston Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Kirrily Johnston Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Day 4 of RAFW: Kirrily Johnston Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11

Taking inspiration from a post apocalyptic time in the future, when humans live in absolute harmony with nature, Kirrily Johnston’s “Apocolypto” show presented a collection that literally walked on the wild side. Graphics were one of the elements which popped out like no others at the show. Stripes and an angular triangular print, which references the sharp modern architectural aspect of society, decorated the collection in a ferociously fierce way that was just major.

Phos Phoro Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Day 3 of RAFW: Phos Phoro Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11

First look at Phos Phoro

On Wednesday 6 May 2010, the Cargo Theatre at The Rocks, Sydney was transformed into a T-shaped runway formed by two square blocks of space, where models paraded around the perimeter showing off Australian designer Spencer Webber’s Spring/Summer 2010/11 womenswear collection for the label Phos Phoro. The event showed off the Sydney-based designer’s flawless skill to cut layers and layers of fabric and shape it on a female body in an originally refined yet youthful and sporty way.

Kate Sylvester Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Day 3 of RAFW: Kate Sylvester Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11

Today, New Zealand designer Kate Sylvester presented a spring/summer 2010/11 show that takes everyone high above the skies with delight. With big pretty bows, little frills and girly laces, the collection was ultra sophisticated and feminine. However, there was also a sense of power and strength, as Ms. Sylvester exposed the zippers and added masculine checks, metallics and hard-core leather to the look. Hence, the title of the collection as “The Charming Man”.

Zambesi Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear Collection 2010/11 Sydney

Day 1 of RAFW: Zambesi Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11

Leaving the Zambesi show, guests were pumped with energy exchanging their lists of must-haves from the wonderful range they just saw on the runway. Namely, designers Elisabeth Findlay and Dayne Johnston held the licence to evoke and intrigue. For the Spring/Summer 2010/11 season, the looks exuded that distinctively relaxed attitude that felt customary in the southern hemisphere, yet it was naturally refined. I just loved seeing these highly structured and highly tailored pieces worn in such an incredibly laid back way. It makes me yearn for a lazy effortless summer all over again.
