My eyes are still adjusting from the splashing of bright colours in one show to the faded tones and pastels in another and more often than not, in the same outfit:
New Generation Group Show: Poppy Lissiman
TAFE Group Collection Show Anna Westcott
And it would appear that pink is the new hue. Anything from fuchsia, neon, salmon, amaranth, cerise, to pastel and lavender pink is being sashayed all over the catwalk:
Michael Lo Sordo Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
Yeojin Bae Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
New Generation Group Show Mok Theorem
Limedrop Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
Although when in doubt, black white and all the shades in between never goes out of fashion. Matched with bold monochromatic block colours for a very clean sleek look:
Christopher Esber Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
Springtime conjures up images of flowers in bloom and hayfever and whilst the latter probably isn’t so in vogue, floral motifs seems to be a recurring theme on the runway…
White Suede SS 11|12 Collection Show
Stolen Girlfriend’s Club SS 2011|2012 Collection Show
Little Joe Woman SS 11|12 Collection Show
Sara Philips Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
Alex Perry Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
Nookie Beach Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
Personally, I will be staying away from the daisies on account of an allergy to bees but I’m digging the neat geometric shapes, clean lines and androgynous tailoring in a few of the shows I shot:
New Generation Group Show Christopher Dobosz
New Generation Group Show Arj Selvam
Bianca Spender Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
Saint Augustine Academy Spring Summer 2011|2012 Collection Show
