A Runway Show: Sydney Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Trends (Spring/Summer Collection 2012/2013) 
(All photos taken by me on my Nikon D60 50mm f1.4 lens)

Sitting where I was at the show on Opening night, I was lucky to get my camera as close as possible to capture all the impeccable details of the garments the designers had to offer. We are Handsome's set of girls walked out fiercely to the sound of Coldplay's & Rhianna's Princess of China to ensure dramatic impact with their visors and statement swimwear. What a start to the show. By Johnny was sophisticated and playful at the same time - a nice mix of classic feminine structure with playful prints. My favourites included Bowie, it was the first time I ever viewed his collection but the detail was breathtaking, especially with the metal beads and ostrich feathers sitting on the shoulders.
The finale included a larger collection from Akira, which included geisha models walking in kimonos and grande silk dresses. They were equipped with amazing paper umbrellas as they walked under floating butterfly paper confetti. It was a dreamy, mystical and perfect end to the show.

As I was decided what to wear to my first ever Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival in Sydney, I was actually freaking out. I was asked to sit front row for the first time in my life and I felt the pressure.. for as you know, I am a simple gal from a simple town. Ok no not really, I'm from out west in Sydney - Cabramatta to be more exact; and that area isn't exactly fashion capital of the world!). I was considering that I might need to go in couture or some sort of 'high fashion' but after some consolidating tweets and facebook comments from friends to my dilemma, I decided to go exactly as myself and what I thought would look good. I opted for an all pastel look, with sweet touches - a loose blouse, scalloped shorts and lots of flowers. In the end I was very glad in the outfit I chose, as I found my floral headband from Chinatown (a very pleasing $13) complimented my balayage hair and soft curls. I got many lovely compliments from my my peers so that made me relieved and I now know that I should always dress as myself (whether its in simple vintage or a $13 floral headband) for whatever event it is I go to.
