An Intimate Affair

In the very intimate surroundings of the Apollo restaurant (the place to be right now), Michael Lo Sordo unveiled his collection inspired by: insects, the 60s, metallic, new printing techniques and strength. Such a pretty collection, beautifully wearable and full of colour from the printed dresses to the crisp tailored shirts. Don’t forget to watch the video where I talk to Michael about something very personal that his collection and I share.

Styling: Romy Frydman, Hair: Sophie Roberts, Make Up: Claire Thompson
Actor, Cody Fern wearing Song for the Mute SS12/13

SS12/13 Inspiration: Transparent, Controlled, Cocoon, Paper, Solid

What’s your favourite piece? This is a tough one. But I must go with either The Paper Cocoon Vest…or The Yeti.

What’s the hair inspiration for the collection? We’ve always seen our ‘boy’ with their hair slicked back but this season we have street influence in our design and have gone with a more natural, boy-ish look, with the help of our Redken hair director Jon Pulitano.

What gets you through fashion week? Fashion Week has always been fun for us because we’ve never actually participated in it. This year marks our debut and oh my god the workload is unbelievable.

What are you wearing today? I’ve been sitting at home working all day today so I’ve been in my pyjamas 90% of the time.

Tech addiction: We’re completely useless when it comes to social media but we are trying. This is especially embarrassing for me as I used to be a dedicated gamer!

SS12/13 Inspiration: Restrained, Elegant, Womanly, Tactile, Gracious

Anything different this season? Lots of textural elements: lame encrusted floral jacquards, tight encrusted monochrome beading, soft hues contrasted with dark textures.

What’s your favourite piece? I love the Saturn evening dress, completely covered in lame flowers.

Where’s your head at right now? Meetings, Grace Kelly, vanilla ice cream with strawberries.

What gets you through fashion week? Chocolate and a really good hotel room.

What keeps you in Australia? My Mum.

It was a Sheer Delight at Zimmermann

The Zimmermann show was reminiscent of the days when I met Nicky more than ten years ago. The days when we were running around Bondi in our tiny little pastel print dresses. I love that I’ll be reliving my youth this season in Zimmermann. There was a modern edge and it was carved out in floral sorbets, sugar coated laser cuts and fine mesh.
