The Maxi Dress:
Maxi's have had there place to shine through previous seasons and years. From the modesty of the 1960's and 1970's to their reincarnation into the modern day, designers are constantly revamping and retuning the idea of what makes the maxi dress fabulous!

Classic Occasions:
We can all identify classic chic as timeless, everlasting pieces that will look as perfect as their first wear. High profile designers including Alex Perry and Wayne Cooper pride themselves on the understanding and ability to leave a woman feeling as radiant as the dress she wears.

Asian Influence:
Ba Da Bloom in Oriental colours, patterns and textures this coming Spring/Summer season. The influence of contemporary Asian design will catapult original western design into an eastern frenzy.

Bikers Edge:
Leather, black textured materials and cut away edges represent the fashion of the bikers as they roll in on the fashion world. So, bring out the bad girl in you with the support of local talent.

Ethereal Ego:
Totally bizarre and mysterious creations became a regular sight on the runway. The use of blacks and greys allowed designers to take the ultra Goth approach to their visions. What once may have been considered drab has been transformed into fabulous and artistic design, a real treat for the upcoming season.

Floral Fun:
It has always been a given that florals and brights are the deal for every Spring/Summer season. At fashion week this year, designers showcased a common interest and their too hot ideas on flirtatious floral fun. We say it is the ideal way to freshen up your wardrobe while staying true to ultra-attractive style and originality.

Tailored to Taunt:
Soft tailoring was definitely a common theme throughout the week. Designers illustrate tailored apparel as a new informal phenomenon, not always meaning heavy hard to wear suits. So mix it up with these ultra fashion savvy creations.

Designers to look out for:

Akira Isagowa:
Even though he is no new star to the fashion world, Akira Isagowa has taken on a new collaborative edge. He has just signed with Google to enhance his Asian logo print.

One Teaspoon:
Their tasteful use of pink and soft textures was a standout throughout fashion week. One Teaspoon is a designer that gets better and better with influence and experience

Special mention:

Sass & Bide: S&B Vie. We all know Sass & Bide, from their original to die for classic fit jeans to their timely collections to date. Now they are hitting it big in the US, catapulting the Australian influence onto the world stage. This Spring/Summer season, S&B have taken a more personal approach closer to heart. The collection VIE is dedicated to their friend who recently passed away. The collection features vibrant and vivacious colors that symbolise the rainbow and their new found love and respect for life.
