You know how bad your hair feels after you’ve had it done for an event? Well times that by a hundred and you’ll get some idea of the condition of a model’s hair during fashion week. With back-to-back shows, they’re having their hair washed, dried and styled over and over again. That’s why we were thrilled to have TRESemme on board for our show. Between TRESemme and our hair style director Keiren Street, our girls hair not only looked stunning, it felt amazing too (if you were lucky enough to get that close!)

The style we chose for our models relied heavily on their locks being in top condition. Thanks to an incredible array of TRESemme products on hand, we were able to create a soft and romantic style to compliment the collection.  Models strutted down the runway with hair slicked into a side part using red bobby pins, with long cascading beach waves down one shoulder.

A big thanks to the hair care gurus over at TRESemme for keeping our models locks looking luscious.

Marseille based public artist, Gaelle Villedary has created an awesome feat with her public piece “Tapis Rouge” in Jaujac, a tiny town in the South of France.

In celebration of the town’s 10th anniversary of art and nature trail programs, Villedary mapped a winding green carpet throughout the entire village. The carpet weaves its way through the outer barriers of the town and into nature.  For the massive project, Villedary used 168 rollers of turf, equalling 3.5 tons of material and spanning almost 450 meters! Climbing up and down steps, winding down long corridors and weaving through the town and into the surrounding nature, the green path brings nature inside the city walls, harmonising the town with its surroundings.

When the day is done and you rest your head,
Dream only of hues in orange and red.

Erin Case creates collages that mix the old, new and unknown into a beautiful, surreal and perfectly balanced mess. My favourites are the silhouttes/landscape combos where classic photos are cut out and layered upon choppy images of marble and dreamy mountain scapes . Her whole collection can be viewed here where I’m sure you will find a favourite.

One of the best things about putting a show on is being able to collaborate with a whole bunch of amazing designers and creative visionaries. So over the next week, we’ll be revealing the talented people who helped make our Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) debut possible.

With a colourful collection that included animalistic, landscape and floral inspired prints, we needed jewellery that could hold its own.  So to compliment our pieces, we turned to jewellery designers MEZI. The Sydney-based label is designed by sister duo Tal Manning and Adva Punin who draw on their exotic Moroccan-Egyptian heritage to create eye-catching adornment. Using a pop of yellow and stacked shapes, the girls custom-designed a pair of tropical drop-style earrings that we couldn’t wait to see paired with our suits.

The earrings created the perfect finish to the styling of our models and we can’t thank MEZI enough for being a part of the show.

We’ve been waiting ever so patiently for John’s next peice of aural art Born and Raised , and we’re liking what we hear! Yes the country style it’s a diversion from all that we know about John – and it feels a little different, but different is good, it moves us all along.

Not only a beautiful song, Love is a verb is a beautiful sentiment.

My Favourites from Chanel Resort 2013.  How perfect are the gardens at Versailles as the backdrop and not to mention the pastel wigs and metallic creepers? GIMME, GIMME!

PS: Do I spy a Chanel beauty mark??

We’ll have all the pics, video and info from our Australian Fashion Week Debut coming to you in the next few days…stay tuned!
