The "land down under" is definitely on it's way up in the fashion world. Don't get me wrong, the country/continent has been on the map for a while now, but it seems as if it's growing in recognition day after day. This year's fashion week is definitely proving that to world!
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia kicked off Thursday night with Camilla and Marc, which is only right considering the sibling designers are celebrating ten years in the industry! Their new collection focuses mainly on their most popular geometric designs. The Fashion Spot describes the line as "concentric" (concentric means having the same axis, so basically there's a bunch of super cool lines.) These super cool lines are joined on the runway with asymmetrical hemlines, black lace and gold brocade. It's a totally fashion-forward line. Super chic, and perfect to make a definite fashion statement.
We're totally obsessed with Australian designer Emma Mulholland's "Spring Break" line, which debuted at Sydney's Carriageworks following Camilla and Marc. Mulholland's collection is inspired by her growing up on the beaches of Newcastle. Emma Mulholland isn't new to the industry, however. She made her fashion week debut back in 2011 but took a year to pick up stockists and promote her label some more before coming back (Which apparently has worked since she's become a favorite of fashion gods such as Kanye West and MIA.) The line incorporates the designers signature bright colors, and takes the audience from the beaches of Newcastle to the mountains of Aspen. "It’s a real clash of 80s summer versus winter," Mulholland said prior to the show, according to theherald.com. "There are prints that people will remember from when they were little."
We absolutely DIE over her line!
