The Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia in Sydney has started with a BANG! The first day consisting of We Are Handsome, Aurelio Costarella, one of my favourite brands Bec & Bridge, Camilla & Marc, Romance Was Born and of course red carpet designer royalty Alex Perry.
The backdrop was the loading docks at Carriageworks when the sun is at its highest in the Australian sky and no doubly Alex Perry did not fail to impress - Show stopping gowns, gorgeously appliquéd French lace and what Mr Perry never ceases to bring to the collections embellished evening wear and bridal dresses. However something a little new for Mr Perry a younger women is in his sights, as a young Hollywood starlet Phoebe Tonkin said "All the lengths are short-about mid length - and I want to wear it all." The shorter hemlines resulted in showing plenty of skin and the ultra sultry knee high boot especially made by Tony Bianco for the show (now available for pre order on Tony Bianco's website)
Perry's Spring/Summer 2013/14 collection had plenty to lust over - affectionate baby doll dresses in an array of silk and lace. Some dresses even had the signature Perry corsetry to amplify the detail and shape of the dress even more. An array of hues was amongst the stimulating youthful collection - Bright yellows, bold blacks, stark whites, splashes of metallic shine and neutral nudes. I can say that I want to have the chance to wear EVERYTHING from this collection: Ready to wear pieces to the most exquisite of red carpet worthy gowns. Metallic silver shorts that can be worn with a crisp white peplum jacket, black skinny trousers teamed with a simple black scooped neck singlet, white lace long sleeved crop with black detailing put together with a black high waisted skater skirt and finished with thigh high lace up nude Tony Bianco shoes and I can't forget to mention the gowns! An exposed zipper against a bold black dress with an almost leather looking top half and a split that comes creeping up the thigh of the model, black lace against a sheer panel exposing the chest of the model and a thigh split that lets the material move at ease as she struts down the catwalk or how about the white lace long sleeved evening gown with a gorgeous contrast of black and yellow. I could go on and on about how much I just love this collection, it is by far one of my all time favourite Alex Perry collections - With that said I applaud you Mr Perry and I am beyond excited to see what the rest of MBFWA has install!

LOVE Alex Perry - and i'm really liking these new and edgy designs targeted at younger audiences - still very feminine (which is what he does best), but a bit more unique this time. It really breathes freshness into his collections. The raised hemlines are gorgeous ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Loved all the photos :) So excited to see what's next for MBFW!

I am loving the new approach Alex is taking as well, I usually love his work but this collection is definitely a stand out for me from his past seasons. I am so glad that he has taken a more edgier approach to his feminine designs because it just adds something new and exciting to his collection.
DeleteThank you Talia! That means a lot!
