Fashion

The move into the wintry weather is never too pleasurable once the summer and autumn seasons have passed, we begin to catch the typical winter cold and do the dreaded early morning wake ups. Though most of us don’t enjoy the icy feel of winter, we can warm up and enjoy the winter fashion with the ever wide range of cover ups – the best option, anything and everything that is knitted with cosy wool.

When you step into a store, flick through the pages of a fashion magazine or stroll through the weekend markets you are observing reinventions pieces of the past. It is extremely rare to find something so new that has never been created before, at least some inspiration has been taken from the decades before us to create such a captivating piece of fashion. This is the way of the fashion world, the cycle in which styles repeat themselves. This creates a whole other level in the many genres of fashion – we call it ‘Vintage’.

Out of the 57 shows being featured at this years RAFW ’11, it seems that more than ever before this years focus was a little different. There were no live vermin mingling with the models, no infamous volcano dress and no ‘celebrity models’ being complete divas. This year it was all quite simply about the most important thing, the reason why bloggers, editors, media, press and socialites show up to Rosemount Australian Fashion Week year after year; the clothes, accessories, the outfit.
