This is Part 2 of my look at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week… 

In Australia, Spring was undeniably in the air! Designers embraced colour, pattern and light fabrics, to create beautiful, fresh looks for Spring Summer…

Akira
Bold far eastern prints with beautiful embellished sequined flowers took centre stage at Akira. Soft luxurious fabrics were worn with oversized bright cardigans and grey trench coats. Striking red was balanced throughout the collection with soft pastels, whites and greys. T-shirt and tunic dresses created the perfect minimal silhouette for the strong detailing.

Gorman
Pastel polka dots, jolts of red and socks under heels at Gorman, created an effortless 70’s style. Pieces in soft fabrics adorned with ruffles or cute material flowers with button centres, made a celebration of sweet wearable pieces for Spring.

Lisa Ho
At Lisa Ho lady-like elegance meet modern grecian draping. Flowing luxurious silks with soft tailoring and crisp cotton, created beautiful movement and effortless elegance. Moving through the colour palettes of nude and neutrals flowing onto soft purples, blue, green and greys – the collection was chic, feminine and flattering.

STYLE FEATURE…

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week was held this week and a series of Designer Runway shows highlighted the fresh, light and elegant essentials for Spring / Summer down under. 

One of my favourites – Arnsdorf ’s “Opticks” collection (originally presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, in May), focused on the idea of “reflection, refractions, inflections and colours of light”.  The collection was chic, feminine and sharp yet utterly ethereal. 

The clothes all had strong geometric shapes to create flattering effects on the female figure. Featuring a mix of light neutral colours (from nudes, caramel and lilac) followed by strong rich shades (coffee browns to brick red); the collection’s final looks went onto to show a spectacular kaleidoscope of prints. The spectacular shattered-glass prints were the result of a collaboration with graphics and print designer Roanne Adams. 

Arnsdorf is receiving international acclaim as one of the best young Australian brands. Focused on exploring narrative through her designs, Arnsdorf pieces lead audiences through a playful journey of the collection’s story / theme.   

Created by designer Jade Sarita Arnott, Arnsdorf made its debut in 2007. Arnsdorf is stocked in premium boutique stores around Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe.
