Neon Like Love

I'm loving Sydney designer Emma Mulholland's AW12 capsule collection, as shot by Byron Spencer. 'Tropical Rebel' features Mulholland's signature surf culture inspirations, most obviously featured throughout the collection in a standout neon shark bite print. Available exclusively at The Grand Social, I'll be snapping up that  midi print tee dress and tie dye bodysuit straight away!

Just one of the beautiful images from my recent collaboration with photographer Chris Fatseas. Special thanks to beautiful local jewellery and accessories label Ruby and Prankstar for the stunning leather, crystal and pyrite pieces Johanna wore. 

MISTERIA

A preview of the soon to be released DIAZ AW 2012 campaign which I styled recently. Photography by the amazing Megan Cullen, and shot on location in beautiful Woombye. This was one of best weekends away for work that I've ever had - it always comes down to working with incredible people and the team for this project were perfect! 

Flora

One of the more exciting high street designer collaborations, Mary Katrantzou x Topshop, is due to drop later this week and I am already anticipating the dark shadow which will be cast over my credit card balance. Vogue UK have previewed the capsule collection here, and while the tees and leggings are a more balanced pricepoint, it is the jersey and silk dresses which have got me captivated.

Blue Blue Sky

After long admiring this beautifully vibrant shirtdress at RAFW last year, I was lucky enough to pick it up at the Gary Bigeni sample sale in Brisbane over the weekend. It has been perfect already for the weather here in Brisbane and I'm looking forward to pairing it with a blazer and ankle boots for winter.

Updated shopping desires. Pretty keen for AW12 Deadly Ponies collection to drop in stores - the colors this season are all stunning, although the above Magenta is my pick. 

Ignite the Flame

I am so incredible thrilled to see the eagerly anticipated AW 12 collection, 'Flame', from celebrated Sydney designer Elliot Ward-Fear. The above images are just a selection from the striking lookbook, featuring New Zealand talent Liv O'Driscoll and the creative genius of photographer Thom Kerr and stylist Cassandra Scott-Finn. The images form arguably the most impressive lookbook to be released in Australia for the season, not surprising considering the stellar calibre of the team which produced it.

As for the clothes, the lush fabrication, impeccable tailoring and unique silhouettes are what sets Elliot's work apart from the rest in my personal opinion. The jacket/dress in the first shot is my pick from the collection, however the intricately structured mini dresses and latex under garments hold enormous potential for styling inspiration. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this talented young designer.
