Hatch Week: #4

Hatch Week: #4

For my fourth and final look for Hatch, I decided to go a little formal. I may admire evening gowns and couture, but I have never been a part of the charity ball set- that really isn't my style. 

This beautiful silk gown by Steph Audino with it's relaxed cut and twisted back detail is just right for me. The draping and twist back give the dress a grecian goddess feel, which you cannot help but feel good in. It shows of womenly curves in a subtle way. 

The bold cobalt colour can be eye catching day or night. As I normally wear a lot of neutrals, when I do wear colour, it is because it makes me happy- and I prefer a bolder hue than say a pastel. 

Bolder colours are that little bit more rock and roll. 

An evening gown would not be complete without a clutch- I absolutely love this leather clutch from the Bootlegger and the Baptist collection recently launched by Katherine Dunmill. 

I already own a black clutch- so I will have to get my hands on the stunning white version. Paired here with more from the Katherine Dunmill collection- with this leather hair clip (look I 'styled' my messy waves!) and this incredible cuff, these pieces add that rock and roll edge to the outfit. 

I caught Tindale for the first time on the 2012 Perth Fashion Festival runway- their intricate chain-mail necklace, which can be stretched and worn in different ways, is another edgy piece to create a modern goddess look. 

I hope you enjoyed my collaboration with Hatch and perhaps have been introduced to some new WA designers. The talent here blows me away, and I love to share it, hopefully in my own way aiding the sustainability of the WA fashion industry. All of the items you have seen in todays post and the prior posts are available at Hatch (located in enex100, Hay Street Mall, Perth). Over the coming weeks I will share with you the other bloggers involved in our Bloggers For Hatch collaboration as they choose and style their own looks. I am really looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

A special thank you to Linda, Narcissa and Katherine at Hatch for your support and help. 

It was a delight to work with you all.

Student Runway 2013 Part One

Student Runway 2013 Part One

The Student Runway is always a highlight of the Perth Fashion Festival calendar. 

The show last night was so impressive, I have broken it up into two posts, the first features looks from the Ready To Wear and Evening Wear collections.

Melanie Nicholls, a WAAPA student, took out the RTW Women's prize for the black and cobalt neoprene dress, as seen in the first image. This Dion Lee inspired dress was one of the most interesting I have seen this PFF. The menswear looks were really strong, without leaning too far into the areas of overly camp, flamboyant or dull. The grey wool cape is particularly beautiful, as an androgynous piece.

Part two will be up in the coming days, along with a few other runway posts. Rather than flood the blog with these all at once, tomorrow will mark the beginning of an exciting project we have developed in conjunction with Hatch Boutique, showcasing Perth designers, and our street style takes on them. 

More on that tomorrow.
