Ribbons and ruffles and beads – oh my
The people behind me thought this model was Miranda Kerr.
They were quite excited, so I thought it best not to disappoint them.
Mixing textures and patterns and actually using colour
Good god why do I blog? Because I’m just busting full of opinions and I’m on a caffeine-and-panic induce writing roll.
Today at Fed Square the free Sidewalk parade featured Review, which is probably one of my favourite chain stores. I love all their girly touches and classic style. They use a lot of silk and lace which is the easiest way to my heart, and as an added bonus I can actually go and buy the designs I see and love (unlike Lisa Ho. Sigh).
Actually, Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said as much in the opening speech, saying something to the effect of “Enjoy the show and then go out into the city of Melbourne and buy them.” Good to see he’s staying on message.
This collection was exactly what I’d expected and exactly what I’d want to see – the same flattering cuts and lines and lovely touches Review is known for with trendy elements. I was sad to see they haven’t bucked the awful Balmain-blazer trend, but there was enough I liked to make me itch to visit the shop.
As always, my Style Melbourne write up is posted here.
Two more shows tonight and then an LMFF-free day tomorrow. Bliss.
UPDATE: Style Melbourne write up is now live. Check it out here.
