MSFW Designer Series

Thursday 02 September 2010

Last night stylehunter.com attended the MSFW Designer Series Show 2. This show aimed to showcase the artistic elegance of fashion from some of Australia's top designers. The dismal weather outside was forgotten as the show opened with a dramatic multilayered silk floorlength creation by Aurelio Costarella.

Classic nudes and blacks featured largely, but with a twist - embellishments in lace, crystal, beading, florals, studs, sequins, rope and ruffles added a modern touch. Textures were varied and tactile, with leather, silk, feathers and fur all featuring. Colour splashes in coral, turquoise and violet brightened an otherwise neutral palette.  
Models were styled with a 50s influence - black winged eyeliner and long hair in tousled soft waves. Highlights were Akira, Collette Dinnigan, Gwendolynne, LISA HO and Thurley.

Rodeo Show 2nd Store

Monday 02 August 2010

With their much-loved Oxford St store in Paddington turning seven this year, Rodeo Show are set to unveil their latest retail offering; a second boutique store in Sydney's brand new Mid City Centre.

Opening July 1st 2010, Rodeo Show's long-awaited second retail store promises to impress. With a carefully considered layout based around the concept of a New York
loft, the space features paneled white walls and aged-oak floorboards. Borrowing elements from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, a Victorian-era fireplace takes centre stage
while decorative framed mirrors line the walls. Reminiscent of Carrie Bradshaw’s walk-in closet, the new space will feature custom-made brass racks and antique-style cabinetry.

With a blend of vibrant colours, whimsical prints and fresh silhouettes, the 2010 spring collection will debut in the new store, together with specially designed winter injection pieces to accommodate Winter's chilly weather.
