best of yeojin bae spring summer 2012 collection times three

Yeojin bae's collection for spring summer almost had
me confused with a Cacharel collection- In my opinion
Bae has a very French influenced aesthetic, elegant and
feminine. The floral print in this collection reminded me
of a very 60's marimekko print, however much more refined
and wearable.

Plunkett and Sales never seem to fail with each collection,
progressing and evolving to become Australia's most creative
and innovative designers. This collection uses themes from
the medieval times, to grecian godess to a reoccuring theme of
my 80's fav..... the never ending story. I do adore the white
dresses with brass embelishments. A breathtaking collection

Therese Rawsthorne collection ticked all my boxes;
colour, leather, tailored jackets and a subtle print
...im not hard to please- of course these are the key
trends at the moment and she executes them well,
a sophisticated culmination of looks.

Richard Poulson and Kylie Radford present a flawless
collection that is incredibly feminine, the colour palette
very sharp with whites, burnt oranges, beige and mustard-
it transported me to Hermes' recent fall 2012 collection.
Each look seemed to represent a contrast of structured vs
draped- as clearly demonstrated in the three looks above.

Camilla and Marc's spring summer 2012 show covered all
bases from the opulent to the bold modern- the range was
quite broad with rather tenuous links for example the rather
neutral metallic brocade to the bold and bright prints matched
with colour blocked pieces; two very different looks brought
together in this maximalist collection.

best of susien chong and nic briand's lover spring summer 2012 collection times three

images courtesy of http://www.vogue.com.au/

Lover's spring collection was driven by dramatic red
overtones and delicate lace details- a tailored and refined
collection that was reminiscent of givenchy's spring/
summer 2011 collection or stella mc cartney's winter 2010.
A very dramatic collection for lover but I have preferred
previous collections.

Karla Spetic explores art nouveau motifs and patterns
in her new collection with bold and exciting pastel hues
in sixties influenced collection. The palette and graphic are
elegantly composed and remind me of textiles produced
by Florence Broadhurst.

Kirrily Johnston's spring collection was consistent and
restrained, her minimalist approach continues to produce
new and innovative pieces - here she executes delicate
tonal contrasts draped in silk that are utterly feminine but then
creates pieces with an approach that is very much the opposite
with masculine and bold structures using leather.

Perhaps internationally one of the most talked about collections,
Josh Goot's collection was compelling, a modern and very
directional collection. Goot explores bold splashes of graphic,
saturated colours and structure on a white canvas that provides
a dramatic contrast. There are too many things to love in this
collection from the proportions and volumes of the skirt to the
neoprene tops and well ofcourse those candy striped heels on
the open toe pastel boots.

Gary Bigeni's collection was infused with an array
of colour but what caught my attention were the
burnt orange pieces assembled together with tan
leather and a more neutral palette- they demonstrated
a more sophisticated and refined palette approach.
This collection would have to be one of his best interms
of direction and evolution.

Since Dion Lee's debut his minimalist approach has remained
consistent amongst all his collections, this collection however
has a more sculptural approach rather than his traditional
modernist tailoring that has become a given in all his works.
I would have appreciated the collection in its entirety if there
was a more in depth exploration of the sculpted and three
dimensional approach consistently applied to most of the
pieces.

best of dhini spring summer 2012 collection times three

images courtesy of http://www.vogue.com.au/

Dhini's spring summer collection in my opinion has a
new approach in comparison to her previous collections-
instead of the structured and heavily tailored pieces she
takes on a more delicate and soft composition for her
garments in this collection, with bursts of colour that are
refreshingly tasteful.
