Best of Australian Fashion Week S/S 2012/13 PART 1

Kaleidoscope tribal gypsies with a hint of the Qing Dynasty oriental princess. I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

Manning Cartell
Finally a collection that I would actually wear. Loving the digital prints such as those multicolour floral shorts (top right) and the petal printed blazer (top left) . I thought it was so fresh how the collection included pastel pants with a toughened zipper detail and also the houndstooth print (mainly associated with the cooler seasons). In my opinion, the use of juxtaposition in this collection is brilliant; soft hues combined with cobalt sequins, floral shorts with the midnight black jacket and the houndstooth contrasted with a colour block of purple and teal.

Zimmermann
Pastels... watercolour florals infused with mesh and perforated fabrics. It's feminine and delicate with a subtle hint of sporty ... pretty but not overly cutesy. Zimmermann seems to be so good at balancing between the two styles which is why I love this collection. To be honest, I love all their collections.
