Street Style

Its now been 2 long weeks since I got the pleasure of attending my very first show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia. As always it was an absolutely gorgeous event that saw some of Australia's top designers (both established and emerging) present their newest collections to a crowd full of fellow designers, celebrities and fashion industry icons. Everything that was presented on the runway absolutely blew my mind but it was the style from the attendees walking the streets that gave me my greatest source of inspiration. 

This year the 70's trend took charge on the streets with flares, flounces, corduroy and denim seen at every turn. Australian fashion icon Tash Sefton from They All Hate Us was the true 70's muse this fashion week, managing to incorporate light wash denim (mainly bell bottoms and maxi skirts) into her looks each and every day. We also saw the classic and sophisticated tailored/menswear trend make it's annual mark with a number of industry personalitites including bloggers Margaret Zhang and Brooke Testoni rocking well structured blazers, coats and collared button up shirts to get them through the indecisive autumn weather. On the flip femininity was another key trend with personality Carissa Walford and international super model (and my ultimate girl crush) Nicole Trunfio, nailling the white, romantic and feminine look. Other trends we saw glimpses of were 90's grunge (plaid, stripes, black on black), bohemian (fringe, prints) and electric (metallic fabrics and neon colours).

I've put together some of my favourite looks from the streets that express creativity, personality and ultimate style.
