You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful setting for a fashion show than right on Circular Quay next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and across from the Sydney Opera House. That’s where we were yesterday for the opening of 2011 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) at the Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) at Sydney Cove.
Looking up at the old red brick and limestone buildings across the street from the OPT, it was easy to look back and imagine how it was 200 years ago. However, today was all about looking forward as the latest Australian fashions for Spring Summer 2011/12 were debuted to enthusiastic audiences that had come from all over the world.
Bec & Bridge opened the week at the OPT with a beautiful, creative, very wearable collection that included floral prints, burnt oranges, leather/suede mixes, silks, and very sexy black mesh cut-out dresses and skirt. Short shorts are definitely in for Spring Summer – www.becandbridge.com.au
Other favorites of the day were:
The Ready to Wear 1 show was incredible. New designers with vision and courage giving the audience thrills with audacious designs and use of fabric and color. Check them out at: rafw.com.au/australia/shows/group-collections-show
Off to start Day 2 … can’t wait!
