Pitfalls of fashion

  With a glass of champagne in hand , I put on the red carpet of the Melbourne Town Hall dressed with flamboyant fashionistas sides , feeling like something a movie star.

Sitting in the second row , directly in front of the track and cover Melbourne Spring Fashion Week for the first time I have the honor of being so close to the action. All around me are fascinated media , big industry of fashion and cultural awareness .

Money , superficiality , was the assertion that all around me.
In his nineteenth year, Melbourne Spring Fashion Week ( MSFW ) took over the city this week, with over 190 events around Melbourne fashion by which an opportunity for designers, both established and emerging , will present their work .

Fashion Week is intended to highlight the relationship between the creator and the consumer , in the hope that the growth in an industry that is constantly under pressure to inspire .
Sitting in the Melbourne Town Hall , I look around me and I realized the overwhelming majority of the crowd is filled with women and young people . The young want to try to look to eat their feathers well-versed and experienced, while the old continue to try to look young forever .

Everyone made ​​an effort with crisp , new outfits on the trend. I note , in particular, a girl of Asian origin , sporting a shaved head in a monochrome outfit with chunky silver jewelry and bright red lips .
Glad the possibility of the presence of some of the hottest people need to be on this side of the equator before , I have found some difficulties to wear the right outfit found - after all, this is an industry driven only a framework .

Finally, I opted for the safe option of the failure of black and white - purple lipstick adding in an attempt to make a statement in my own little way .
All this trouble and stress for an hour way?
This is the world of fashion.

More I sat and watched , the more I realized that I might not be the only self- conscious feeling . Most people do not see what they were comfortable, as if they had chosen the correct look of the rod without a second thought - fashion wear for the love of fashion .

A quote from English writer Quentin Crisp comes to mind : " Fashion is what you , if you do not know who you are to say goodbye . " The ultimate difference between true fashion and style .

Looking around, it is easy to see how this " world " of fashion can be time consuming .
The drinks flowed , impeccable outfits, the dignitaries of the abundance and groups of people in beautiful deep (probably) an interesting conversation .

Each seat had a small bag of sweets and a bottle of San Pellegrino mineral water - because I never drink honey water tap!

Finally, the lights dimmed and a video of two DJs will be projected onto the scene marks the beginning of the show and I quickly remember why I 'm here: the collection of Roy Christou .

This season saw Cypriot Australian designer Roy Christou back on track with streetwear label Honor Among Thieves ( NDT).

An Australian designer with a history of more than thirty years in the industry , Christou collection has a unique look and a distinctive approach to Melburnian takes womenswear .
Although it is a collection of spring / summer , have not chosen a single dress .

Instead, the designer kick off the series with a hat denim overalls is - is the color palette of the collection of marine and Monochrome.

The models are on the track wears jeans and shorts, as staples sent , with an androgynous look in comparison to other collections in the night.
Anyone for a pineapple ? You must be decorated the fruit of choice for the next season, on shorts , jeans and even rider.

Meanwhile, Honor Among Thieves , which represented four titles set designer drawings of Australian urban labels above. , Alpha60 , Bul, Carly Hunter , Gorman, Jolet , Kings of Carnaby and kuwaii Limedrop .
Although every designer , something original to the front, which pretend to the untrained eye, it is clearly crosses between each collection .

The designs are minimalist and structured, with the most detailed silhouettes , allowing the body to breathe openly .

Skirts and dresses are presented with lengths of significantly above and below the knee.
We see the jacket a comeback and to my great personal pleasure , even made an appearance the onesie .
Melbourne label Gorman continues her signature prints - triangles , stripes and bright colors mixed with earthy tones , while the duo Lime Drop bring some freshness , fun loving with dresses in pastel colors and light fabrics .

The start and runway models to four, both male and female , have back hair with makeup to a minimum Slicked .
Shoes for the next season are either a simple heel with a strap across the ankle , Birkenstock style sandals or a pair of comfortable new balance trainer .

Although it can be , ready-to -wear - a far cry from the Paris Haute Couture - which is always a work of art that moves people from the banality of everyday life.
