Look out Canberra here I come! With great honour I have been invited to attendFASHFESTin Canberra this year and it thrills me that fashion, design and creativity in many forms will be on display in our nation’s capital.
I have been reading many an article online aboutFASHFESTand have been impressed by the effort, hours and commitment that has been poured into the program. From watching the models being selected, updates on Instagram or reading articles fromInk & Leathers (who I have come to rely on to be my Canberra survival guide) I am really impressed by what I have seen from our “Bush Capital” that is only an hour from Melbourne on plane.
In the lead up to FASHFEST, I have asked many people if they have been to Canberra and what they know about our country’s capital. Basically the answers are the same; War Memorial, Parliament House and a lake. On further prompting I ask if they knew about the 3-day fashion event that showcases the work of more than 40 designers. Insert blank faces here. They then want to know more about Canberra’s annual red-carpet event and what I am looking forward to as a Canberra virgin.
Besides the above mentioned, I am looking forward to visiting the National Gallery of Australia which has over 160,000 pieces of art as well as wondering around the old parliament buildings. I have a thing for architecture and exploring a city on foot. But let’s get serious, Parliament House is similar to a day care centre, so let’s move on to what is really important…………..fashion!

I feel so inspired at a fashion show, from seeing someone’s creativity come to life, if it be hair and make-up, styling, modelling and or of course the clothes. The runway is electric with energy, the synergy of all the creative teams coming together in such a dynamic way, and I binge feed on it as it ignites desires and lust for what I see on the runway.
The 3 fabulous days of fashion, music and entertainment that are planned will be hosted at National Convention Centre Canberra. I have googled this venue and it looks amazing! What a stage for a runway! Glamorous parties will be will be hosted atQT Canberrawhere the style elite can be found mingling and partying after the runway lights dim for the evening.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for live updates oninstagram and future articles covering the 3-day festivities but for now onto the highlights from the released programhttp://fashfest.com.au/:
I do adore a good Haute Couture design after styling many a bride over the years. Like myself, this is the first timeDe Challie Haute Couturehas been involved in FASHFEST and by looking at their website and social media, De Challie Haute Couture promises some spectacular visuals with their voluminous and detailed designs.

BT(Braddon Tailors) is an Australian design house that uses some of the best fabrics from around the world for their made to measure garments. The silhouettes on their website look very classic and will be a welcomed feast for my eyes leading into summer.

Ethical and sustainability is definitely covered in the program with a line-up of designers includingMelanie Child who has a focus on upcycling and sustainable fabric choices. This is her third year which indicates to me that she is clearly a force that can create superb garments out of waste or unwanted materials.
The Salvos Stores will also be on display offering their take on upcycling and recycling. I used to work for the Salvos Stores many years ago and will be interested to see how far they have come.

The Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation andMagpie Goosewill display Indigenous textilesand design, Magpie Goose prints are designed and printed in four remote Aboriginal communities across the Top End.
Obviously some big names in Australian fashion are also involved including Alex Perry, Camilla and Misha Collection to name a few, presented by Momento Dezigns, a stunning shop with amazing labels that has been operating in Canberra for decades. It will be exciting to see what they present so soon after Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.
It goes without saying that one of my highlights is always seeing the next generation of designers. The students from theCanberra Institute of Technologywill be showcasing twocollections this year. I am always excited to see the talent on display with students, their wild creativity with a side of edginess is so refreshing and I cannot wait to see what the students have been creating in Canberra.
Out of the 3 days on offer it is hard to say which night I am looking forward to the most. Honestly, I think all 3 nights and 6 shows offer the crowd so much variety and diversity.Tickets start from $49 which is quite reasonable and there are VIP and Platinum ‘experiences’ which include guided backstage tours.
First impressions are always an opportunity to shine bright and I think this will be Canberra’s way of blinding me! It maybe best to pack some new sunnies!
Melbourne Fashion Week took over the footpath of Swanston Street for its annual week long offering that launches the beginning of Spring and Summer and the social season in which Melbourne comes alive.
The fashion obsessed flowed into the Melbourne Town Hall to view the latest offerings from both designers and retailers with their glasses of champers in hand. It is always a great environment to catch up with your fellow stylish friends, see familiar faces behind a camera and meet new and exciting people that your normally only communicate with through your instagram feed. The MFW Bar meant serious business inside with its set up and exhibition space, which unfortunately did not flow outside to the claustrophobic outdoor area on the footpath either side of the entrance.
For dedicated fashion addicts there were a handful of people on the street that peaked my interest. Hoards of bloggers, influencers and wannabes presented their best offerings for the camera's as they circled the block. As you know the louder and more individual you are in your clothes, the more likely you are to peak the interest of the papz and be snapped. In this case I felt like I was stuck inside a photo shoot for a menswear suit catalog. After a week of viewing the street styles I was left with the impression that Australian menswear fashion is still relatively conservative, with not much evolution between seasons or even years. Thankfully there were standouts from the ladies who bought their A game to the footpath injecting understated chicness and colourful combinations whilst braving the chilly nights.
Trends that dominated the footpath outside the shows:
Street Luxe - The number one dominating trend was the mixing of streetwear with high fashion. Of course all black ensembles were everywhere, and the opposite. All white was also present like a flock of seagulls searching for a potato chip.
Florals - As Miranda Priestly so eloquently put it, florals for Spring. Groundbreaking. Let's move on.
Belts - Belts were everywhere. Some good, some bad and some that I will be happy to never see again. If I see one more GG gold belt I think I will scream as it has replaced the tiresome YSL tassel bag that every woman has been renting for the last year.
Men in Suts - When it comes to men's suits there were some stylish accessories to set off the slim tailored fits that were on display. Plenty of pocket squares and lapel pins which showed individuality of the wearer. There were minimal pleated trousers which have been huge in Europe for the last two years and plenty of loafers with no socks. Special shout out to the gents who took the stuffiness out of menswear and wore something a little different and didn't play it safe. Bravo.
Pretty Ugly Shoes - Delighted to see so many wonderful shoes with different hardware and embellishments in a variety of styles both on men and women. Thigh high leather tan boots on women with chunky heels were a regular staple. The elaborate shoes would not normally be considered pretty but the vulgarity and opulence was beautiful and refreshing to see in Melbourne. ADORE!
Fur - Fur accessories adorned everything from earrings to bags and shoes. Poor little critters will live on for seasons to come after being dyed in fabulous colours providing a lux
Most of the shows were exactly as I feared, producing safe visions of well groomed and pruned ensembles ready for the horse racing season in a few months. The flare for dramatics or igniting a point of difference was eliminated by many big designers that played it safe and delivering much of what they have for the previous seasons. However there were a few examples of inspiration and creativity that will be burned in my mind for a while. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram for updates
Garage Runway - As much as I enjoy a good summer dress, there was a lot of black and muted tones or uninspiring patterns that were constantly reused. I understand ethical fashion and the need to be wise with materials, but without variety comes boredom. I have seen so many dresses inspired by Queen B's baseball bat twirling dress to last me a lifetime.
Menswear Garage - Alike the aforementioned it was held in the basement of the Melbourne Town Hall, the likes of Amxander, Jack London, Autonomy, Chris Ran Lin and Dom Bagnato sent styles down the runway that unfortunately did not peak my interest. Following European trends with oversized bumbags across the chest and numerous patterned materials that were reused for different pieces, there were a few nice pieces but nothing that made me gasp. The overall vibe of the show was trying to be edgy with the model selection, music, skateboards and styling, that it all felt the same. I left a little deflated after this showing.
David Jones - The creative styling team behind the show should be commended for creating safe ensembles that would peak the interest of suburban housewives and gents who require a suit for the races. A huge retailer like David Jones do know their target audience very well and this showcased their knowledge of their consumer, right down to the YSL heels or The Kingsman inspired gentlemen that will soon appear on movie screens.
Premium Runway Four - Finally an injection of what fashion means to me. There were opulent embellishments, tassels, fabric choices, voluminous sleeves and dramatics in the styling including a little homage to good old Formation film clip. The line up of deisgners meshed well together although once again there was a little too much black on the catwalk for my liking, but it is Melbourne after all and black sells.
Premium Runway - Closing - The saying "Leave the best to last" was true of closing night of the festival with some inspirational displays sent down the ice melting runway. In a week that started off rather underwhelming it was good to wrap the festival up on a positive note with some of Australia’s most popular labels such as Romance Was Born, solid stand out for me.
After a few seasons not attending what was Melbourne Spring Fashion Week and rebranded MFW, it was pleasant to see new ideas influence the program and inject some much needed innovation into the festival. Melbourne has serious pride in it's events and the team behind Melbourne Fashion Week should be commended for staying current and on trend whilst producing a solid program. A huge shout out to the volunteers who spent 12 hour days holding the festival together. Round of applause. I believe that some of the designers need to lift their game if they wish to retain current supporters of their brands, or attract new customers. By the end of the week photographers were not on the streets, media pit at the end of the runway appeared a little thin and there were many empty seats in the town hall creating an underwhelming atmosphere. With Melbourne Fashion Festival receiving an injection of funding from the State Government recently it will be interesting to see if the fashion capital is big enough for both Fashion Week and Fashion Festival. Let the catwalk battles begin.
My name is Angel Barta. I am a fashion designer at Angel Barta VIP Couture. Designer Marc Jacobs has been stealing my ideas, my style, my photos and my concepts for five years. My unique fashion designs have enticed Marc to reproduce my creations across the brands he has his hand in. He wants to be the most powerful person in the fashion world by using my ideas without my permission. Jacobs wants to hide me and the fact that he has been using MY ideas from the fashion industry. Since he discovered that my uniques style sells well, he plans to carry on hiding me and stealing my ideas as long as possible. This has been going on for almost 6 years. So this year I decided to start my blog about my story to let the truth be known by everyone and to finally force Marc to leave me alone. Just because he is rich and famous does not give the right to trample on an innocent young girl. Watch my video!
How does he even know about Angel Barta?
It started at the beginning of 2008, when I was only sixteen years old.
I met Marc Jacobs at a gym in Paris. He noticed how special my style was from the moment we first met. He invited me to his Louis Vuitton fashion show and the dinner after. He has been stalking me since then.
He promised he would make the biggest top model out of me, saying he could sell anything with my face. He said I was the first woman he fell in love with (!). He enticed me with me talk of love, marriage, kids and a top-model career. I believed his every word! While I didn’t want to be a model, but a fashion designer, I couldn’t help but be seduced by the promises of such a powerful fashion designer.

In the summer of 2008 Marc invited me to his office. He did a private casting, only for me, and he took my measurements personally. This is almost unheard of in the fashion world, so again, I thought it was evidence of his intentions for me.
This meeting at his office was mentioned in New Yorker Magazine’s September 2008 edition. Click here, to read the article.
For two years we spoke for hours a day, every day. Jacobs wanted to know everything about me. He became obsessed with my personality and the unique style I represent. Katie Grand (stylist at many big brand, Marc's best friend) said in an interview that the design team had to listen to MY Cher compilation CD for 2 weeks while they were designing the LV collections. Marc was wearing high heels and a dress and walking around the room acting like he was Angel Barta!! That is obsession.
Jacobs said my energy was vital for him. He told me he needed me because with my talent he could be the new Picasso. He said he would write his name on fashion history with golden letters! He copied my photos in his campaigns and replaced his long-time photographers with MY favorite photographer Steven Meisel. Since 2008 Meisel has shot all of his Louis Vuitton campaigns.
Jacobs copied my style without my permission for his fashion shows: Louis Vuitton Spring 2009, Marc Jacobs Spring 2009, Louis Vuitton Fall 2009, Marc Jacobs Fall 2009. Each was a huge success! Jacobs became addicted to the success my fashion brought him.
He told me he loved me. He said the next time he designed he would tell the fashion world about the role of my designs in his work. He told me he would make the biggest fashion designer out of me and we would work together officially. I believed that he would enable me to work in the fashion industry. I’ve never received anything for my ideas but nice words and empty promises.
A few examples on how Marc Jacobs copied my pictures for his own line and for Louis Vuitton
Jacobs kept torturing me by saying he loved me, sending me love messages, poems, he wrote love songs and asked famous singers to sing them. He made singers (i.e. Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Taylor Swift) wear the clothes he designed based on my stuff.
MARC JACOBS
After several seasons of this, I realized that MJ was just using my talent for his own success. I noticed that he hacked my cell phone. He read all my text messages, emails, and he was even checking my Facebook account! He contacted my friends from fake accounts and sent them perverse messages.
By the end of 2009, I recognized that he had never loved me. I told Marc:
"I am deeply disappointed. You lied to me! You only wanted my ideas for your own success. You knew it from the beginning that you would never help me. You’d already planned that you would only fool me and use my talent and hide me from the fashion world… so no one would know that your successful collections were MY ideas, that the style originally came from me! I never want to talk to you again! I will not give you my ideas anymore! Forget me … forever!!!!"
So from 2010, I consciously withheld my ideas from him.
I wanted to cut him out of my life. He kept calling me, texting me, but I never answered. I stopped giving him photos. I wanted to forget him, but he refused to leave me alone. He wrote me every day, saying he would KILL HIMSELF if I didn't answer!
Jacobs did not want to let me or my ideas go. He did not accept the fact that I wanted to break up with him. He became more and more obsessed with me and did many crazy and cruel things to steal my ideas and keep me a secret. He is afraid of my talent being seen for what it really is: MINE. He doesn't want me the fashion world to know about me so he’ll do anything to hide me.
Here’s where it gets radical. He still stalks me. He has hired people to follow me all day and take photos and videos of me for him. This way he can continue copying whatever I wear. Marc Jacobs started to make fashion videos, copying my life, my memories, my moments. The models have to act and pose the way I do. They have to copy my every move.
How does Marc Jacobs copy Angel Barta? He copies every single detail of my photos. If I post a photo online, he exhausts it in his own designs. He takes one aspect of my photo for this shoot, then another aspect for that shoot, then another for a brand campaign, then yet another aspect for a layout, etc. I design and make clothes. My photographer and I choose unique settings to showcase my work. Jacobs copies everything about my photos: the concept, the background, the colors, the pose, the mood, and worst of all, the very outfits I’ve designed! I was silent for five years. I believed he would either own up to his copycatting or forget about me and let me live my life. Unfortunately, he has done neither. He became more and more obsessed with me and the success my ideas brought him, so he did some crazy things. A couple of months ago I started spreading the truth about Marc Jacobs on the internet, via this blog. By the end of 2013, more than 555,000 people have been exposed to the truth. Obviously, Jacobs and his friends want me to shut up and accept the fact that they are exploiting my talent. While they enjoy the success of my work, I am completely ignored by (and outcast from) the fashion world.
Marc Jacobs, the Manipulator
Marc Jacobs is a manipulator, a control-freak, a puppet master. He wants to control everyone in the public eye. He controls Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Terry Richardson, Kanye West and more.
Jacobs controls many celebrities. He tried to control Justin Bieber, but he could not.
His latest and most visible right now: Miley Cyrus. The shocking VMA performance of Miley Cyrus was the idea of Marc Jacobs. His best buddy, Terry Richardson, directed her new nude video clip.CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

Kanye West, one of Jacobs’s pals, has stolen a Hungarian song recently. Hungarian brand, Omega is going to sue Kanye for using their music without permission… such behavior exhibited and condoned by one Marc Jacobs. Lie with dogs and you’ll get fleas, Kanye.
The music "Gyöngyhajú Lány" (translated as The Girl with Pearly Hair) by Hungarian band, Omega, in 1969. Many listeners have identified the sample used towards the end of the new track that Kanye West premiered on (almost) 66 buildings and Saturday Night Live this year. Kóbor János, a singer of Omega, claimed he plans to sue Kanye for sampling Gyönyhajú Lány (The organs from New Slaves) and not crediting them. He already hired an international lawyer to start the proceedings. They can't sue Kanye yet because it was only played on walls and on SNL and it's not official, but if it makes it to the album, Kóbor promised he will step in the ring. Click here to listen to both songs.
KANYE WEST WITH MARC JACOBS
Kanye and Marc Jacobs are thick as thieves. They even collaborated when Kanye designed trainers for Louis Vuitton. He flies all the way to Paris to watch every MJ show from the front row seat given him by the devil himself. He even sings the songs Marc asks him to. You remember Runaway by Kanye? It was Jacobs’s idea, even the clip fulfilled his fantasy.
Jacobs used his manipulation skills to persuade Kanye to steal that Hungarian song and convinced him he wouldn’t be caught because he hasn’t been caught for stealing from me.

Kirsten McMenamy's daughter, eighteen-year-old Lily McMenamy had to walk topless on Jacobs’s fashion show in New York. She said Marc told her how to hold her breasts in one hand. The night before the fashion show Marc did not let her go home from his office until 2am. (They were practicing 'the topless show walk' together) Read my article with details: If you want to walk the Marc Jacobs runway, all you have to do is to satisfy his perverse fantasies.

Marc cunningly appoints his friends and former colleagues to high positions at many different fashion brands, making sure he has a tool to use at each influential company.
Take Camille Micheli, of Dior. She used to work at the PR Louis Vuitton, with Marc Jacobs for more than 10 years, before MJ got her a cushy " Creative- Jewelry Director" job at Dior in 2009.

MARC JACOBS'S MAIN SUPPORTER: KATIE GRAND
Katie Grand editor at LOVE magazine
Katie Grand supports Marc in his cruel game against me. She works for many big brands and influences fashion magazines. She is the editor of LOVE and POP Magazines. Jacobs can copy my ideas and, with her help, spread them all over the fashion world. With Katie Grand, he copies my ideas not just for Louis Vuitton but also for Balenciaga, Prada, Miu Miu, Giles, Ungaro, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana, and more.
He dictates who will become top models, he decides who will be the next IT girl, who will be in most of the campaigns… not just in his own ads, but in nearly every brand. Puppet master!
Marc Jacobs presented the 'Innovator of the year Award' to Katie Grand
Marc Jacobs copied my ideas for Prada many times. Katie Grand works for Prada and Jacobs is close friend with Miuccia.

Marc Jacobs "the soul-terrorist"
Marc Jacobs does not want me to have the energy to let the truth out so that people will know that all of his creations were originally my ideas. He designs my style, my soul, everything that is me!
I wrote a 500-page book about the first two years of my relationship with Marc Jacobs. The title is "The Secret Love Affair in Paris." I was hoping MJ would leave me alone after reading my book. I wrote honestly about my dreams, wishes and feelings.
Jacobs used the information in my book against me, in true Jacobs style.
He gave all my specific dreams to other models from my country in order to break me. Jacobs's cohort, Katie Grand, cast Hungarian girls in all her key shows and shoots. For example, a Hungarian model, Vanessa, has been the face of Prada for 3 seasons already, this is the first time anyone has had such long Prada contract.
The models have to dress up in MY style and copy me and my poses in their editorials. Everywhere I look I must face the photos he’s copied. I see my ideas in magazines, in campaigns, and on the streets.
Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton tent during Paris’s Fashion Week. This is what I feel every season before his shows, knowing that the models are inside fitting the clothes that were originally my ideas... and I… I have to wait outside...unwelcome to shows ripped from my imagination.
Standing if front of the Louis Vuitton tent... meanwhile the models are fitting the clothes that were my designes originally
Here are a few more examples. Each model featured in these editorials is Hungarian. Jacobs cast them in hopes of retaliating against me. They had to copy me in the photos, of course. Before meeting me, Jacobs never favored Hungarian models (if he’d even ever been to Hungary).
Hungarian model featured at the Marc Jacobs Daisy campaign
Marc is more than pleased to show me how other girls easily get success in the fashion world through him, meanwhile he isolates me from the fashion industry.
To read more details on how he pressured me with the Hungarian models, click here.
Why is Marc Jacobs torturing Angel Barta?
Jacobs is obsessed with the success that he earned by using my ideas. He does ANYTHING to steal my ideas. He stalks and tortures me because he wants me to give up my goal of becoming a recognized fashion designer. He wants to exhaust me, break me… end me. He can't stand the fact that I refused to do the humiliating things he asked me to. (He asked me to do many disgusting things in order to be a model.) Marc Jacobs the sex addicted Porn Baron
Fitting at Marc Jacobs: having fun a topless model and drinking Mojito
Marc Jacobs made his acting debut in a new film "Disconnect." He plays Harvey, a character he describes as 'sleazy' who lures underage kids off the street with the promise of shelter and income, for web-chat porn and prostitution. (Sounds eerily familiar to me…)
'In the end, I’m really not a bad character. I’m actually the one who is protecting them in a way. I’ve taken them off the streets and they don’t get harmed. They’re doing something that is virtual, though they are talking about sex. But you can look at it two ways,' he explained. (text via dailymail)
His role in the movie is so ironic considering Marc Jacobs’s perverted online behavior in real life, too. In my 2010 book, I told all about how much he loves cybersex and about the many sexual messages he sent me for years. He has been harassing me since I was sixteen years old. Jacobs is playing himself in the movie ... his truly perverse alter ego.
Watch Marc Jacobs ask a 15 year old kid if he "jerks off" in new Disconnect clip to get an idea of his true character.
Pretending he’s gay has gotten him publicity (his favorite thing), but look closer. Why is new model Cara Delenvigne everywhere lately? Delevingne’s rise to modeling stardom can be tracked back to Marc Jacobs’s puppet, Katie Grand, who frequently puts Delevingne in (and even on the cover of) her magazine, LOVE.
at Marc Jacobs' office: Cara Delevingne hung out with Marc's pet bull terrier, Neville. A photo was uploaded to Neville's own Instagram account yesterday, showing Cara tied up in a cage. The caption read: "@caradelevingne is mine and none of you can have her!"
Kate Moss with Marc Jacobs
ate Moss (the other woman who is so passionately French kissing Jacobs) is on the cover of the same issue of LOVE Magazine. It was Jacobs's idea to launch the LOVE Magazine and he (not-surprisingly) put Katie Grand as editor in chief. The models featured in the magazine have to execute all of his perverse fantasies in the editorials. In my other article, "Marc Jacobs is obsessed with women," it seems that he is not really gay.
What does Marc Jacobs think about my articles where I expose his dark side?
Marc Jacobs sent me a life-threatening message.
I ask everyone who comprehends the magnitude of his deception to help me by sharing my story on Facebook, Twitter, wherever. Please let the truth be known! Please share this link: http://styleangelique.blogspot.com/ I'd like to have a life without Marc Jacobs stalking me at every turn!
You see stripes everywhere! In every fashion magazines and on celebrities... everyone is wearing stripes...
How did this trend all began?
I am Angel Barta, writer and fashion designer. I wrote a book about my secret love story with Marc Jacobs. There are more articles about the truth of Marc Jacobs on my blog.
I have already told you that Marc Jacobs has been copying my ideas for 5 years without my permission, meanwhile he is torturing me.
Well last summer the biggest trend was: spots, polka dots. Marc Jacobs copied my own designed spotted coat and he launched a whole collection with spotted outfits. Every single piece of the LV collection was covered with dots. So last summer polka dots were the big trend, but I was 2 steps ahead of fashion... I designed and made outfits with stripes.. I was wearing my own designed striped clothes last summer. I did not post my photos on the internet. Marc Jacobs stole my designes in a sneaky way... he paid people to follow me all day and take photos of me on the street.. One month after summer... In 2012 september on the Marc Jacobs catwalk the models were wearing "Angel-style"... every single outfit was striped at his show.
Marc Jacobs copied my stripped pencil skirt and jacket also...
How did the stripes became the biggest trend for 2013 summer? Well, Marc Jacobs first copies my ideas for his own brand, then with the help of Katie Grand he designes them for almost every brand... this way he spreads my style in the whole world. Katie Grand brought the stripes idea for Dolce Gabbana.
Dolce Gabbana Spring 2013
Halilee, the young girl from the famous banned Miu Miu campaigns. She was sitting on the railway and crying on the photos. That campaign was the idea of Marc Jacobs also. You can read the full story and the secrets behind the ad campaign, here. He supports this girl's carrier from the background. She is wearing a stripped dress on the latest cover of Fashion Magazine.
Marc Jacobs copied my polka dots coat last year.
Watch me on this video where I send a message for Marc Jacobs, the Thief of the Century!
I made this video in 2012 summer. I was wearing my own designes stripped Angel Barta dress. In 2012 summer polka dots were the must have trends of the summer. 2 months later Jacobs designed a collection full of stripped outfits... each single outfit was stripped!
Even Taylor Swift has to dress up as Angel Barta. Marc Jacobs makes her to... How can he do that? Well, his close "friend" Rachel Zoe, (famous celebrity stylist) help him in everything. Through Rachel Marc can control what the celebs are wearing in Hollywood.
