Romance Was Born

Well Fashion Week wrapped last week, and I have to mention the standout was definitely Romance Was Born with their electric colour, wild mixes, theatrical shapes and very inspirational millinery.

There is always amazing local labels to view and appreciate, but I have to favour anyone who can offer something a little bit different to the others, and really pull it off. Of course, there may be some of these wild pieces you wouldn’t stroll to work in (normally) but those who view these fashion shows regularly, will know this kind of style is hugely inspirational to the ‘watered down’ versions that end up in the stores.

More importantly, going into Winter, we definitely need to introduce at least one bright colour to the usual black/grey/browns that are a familiar palette. Especially since hearing from an influential male recently, that a woman wearing just one bright colour, is verrrrrry attractive ………

Interesting look at ‘who get’s paid what’ in the fashion business, this is taken from a site in the US, but still relevant here, especially with Sydney Fashion Week only 3 weeks away!
