Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2010: Parade 4
Melbourne Spring Fashion Week is an event that brings all sorts of Melbournians together to showcase many different aspects of Australian fashion. The 4th Designer Series Runway for MSFW 2010 provided a look at purely Melbourne based fashion and the fashion was out in force.
The show attracted the more fashion forward people of Melbourne to view the work of some of Australia’s leading fashion labels. The energy in the room showed through and through and only further built the anticipation of what was to come!
Alpha 60 opened the show with their distinct clean-cut look. Fine silks and delicate cottons effortlessly hung off the models a very pleasing injection of colour throughout their collection was a refreshing change from the monochromatic colour palate we’re used to from Alpha 60. Rich blues and vivid patterns gave the collection vibrancy and flair.
Above brought a strong sense of style and sophistication to the runway. Loose fitting but very well structured pieces provided a perfect blend of refinement and casual summer. Above took a different approach to every other designer I’ve seen at MSFW thus far, using deconstructive and reconstructive techniques giving their own unique take on classic women’s style.
Playful, creative and fun, Limedrop are the ideal label for an Australian Spring/Summer. Teaming poker dots with colourful digital prints, leather, silk and free flowing cottons. Limedrop provided a very tastefulness with a relaxed aesthetic.
Trimapee and Claude Maus gave us with the androgynous, dark and moody visual that Melbourne goes crazy for. Black, white, grey and beige, the colour palate was minimal and concise, although not at all boring. Both Trimapee and Claude Maus seem to have developed their look into a more refined and elegant style.
This collection of creative and artistic work from these talented designers made the Designer Series go out with a bang. What better way to do it?
