MSFW Emerging Designer Exhibition – Presented by Yering Station

Veronica Lei Chen

This collection was my favourite, the detail that has gone into these gorgeous pieces is amazing. I love the texture the fabric has created and the white makes it such a statement. Absolutely beautiful.

Matcho Suba

I will admit I wasn't a fan of these pieces as much as others, BUT having a look on www.matchosuba.com I honestly think that this man is a genius. I adore his Chernobyl Spring / Summer 2013 collection, the use of leather and awesome shapes in the structured skirts is so amaze!

Chris Ran Lin

These were awesome, Chris Ran Lin describes his design as “plays with the juxtapositions between minimalism and extravagance". Great shape and texture really bringing the garment to life. LOVE.

Definitely something different, I'm all for weird stuff and liked her take on society's ideas of 'Needs'. "Each basic need is dedicated to an outfit. Those essential needs: Shelter, Air, Water, Food, Intimacy, Protection and Sleep are the ideas to influence the material, cutting and construction properties."

Nixi Killick 

Loved loved loved. Super psychedelic and such a statement. I'm a sucker for buying pieces that are so out there and sometimes a little hard to dress with other garments but her collection is really affordable and isn't to harsh on the wallet.

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week presented a new designer exhibition held at Yering Station in Yarra Glen. The grounds were beautiful and the architecture was superb, perfect place for a wedding, the weather was perfect too! Very enjoyable Saturday :)

Much love Mads x

My Valentine

Today's work at Bella Rose Florist on High Street. 

As you know Valentine's Day is just around the corner so my partner Alisha and I were lucky enough to score a Valentine's Day window. Bella Rose has a cute vintage vibe so we wanted to continue with that look and compliment the store by sticking to magenta, red and soft pink colour palletes. All of the paper flowers were hand made and attached to nylon then grouped together, the old books were just from the Op shop down the road and everything else Bella Rose supplied.

Overall it was a super fun display to put together and turned out really well!

Away

So I was lucky enough to spend my last weekend of holidays with Luke in Williamstown, Melbourne. We stayed at the Punthill Apartments which wasn't far from the city. It kind of reminded me of a more developed Portarlington which is just outside of Geelong, with heaps of quirky little cafes and restaurants it was well worth the trip. 

Back to reality tomorrow though, with a valentines day install at the florist and school starting on Tuesday, cannot wait for the year to finally begin.
