Did we mention we are covering RAFW?

I’ve just arrived home from my first show for the season of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, and have realized how excited I am to be covering the event once again.
This year’s Spring/Summer 2011/2012 showcase will be entering into a new era with more off site shows, new designers showing, old designers returning and a whole cattle call of interesting people to immerse myself in for a week.
Thurley kicked off the proceedings tonight with a beautifully crafted affair featuring pieces so delectable they looked as if they’d melt in your mouth. Scarlett red, heavy detailing and feathers dominated the runway. Designer Helen O’Connor has stepped up to the plate to create a runway ready collection that is sure to fill the gaping hole in the high fashion red carpet market.
Although I was unable to secure images for Thurley, during RAFW we have contracted amazing photographer Elaine Kwok from upcoming social blog whataboutharold.com to capture the week in photo’s that will tell more than 1000 words.
The general consumer outside of fashion land is usually more interested in what celebrities will be sitting front row. Confirmed celebrities include Susanna Lau from Style Bubble who will be blogging for Sportsgirl and Jessica Gomes model turned P.Diddy muse who is the official face for RAFW. Katy Perry is rumored to pop her head in at RAFW but we’re not going to get our hopes up, even though she does land a day early in Sydney for her concert, time to kill with fashion perhaps?
The shows we mostly are anticipating include Shakuhachi, Josh Goot, Gail Sorronda & Friend of Mine. Also the newbies to fashion week from Raffles design college will be bringing in some fresh talent from their Sydney, Singapore & Shanghai campuses to rule the runway. The prestigious design school has produced talent such as Dan Single (Ksubi) and Nicola Finetti.
Basically there is a hell of a lot happening and you need to stay tuned!
