Head For Threads - April 2009

RAFW Blackout

April 28th 2009 03:39
A power outage in Sydney this morning put a sudden halt to the Zimmerman show at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.

Guests were being seated for the show, which was due to start at 10am. At 10.45 (the show was running fashionably late) a sudden power outage meant the show could not begin, but organiser Simon Lock asked patrons to "sit tight".

Designer Nicky Zimmerman didn't seem fazed.

"I'm just glad it didn't happen during the show,'' she said. "It's fine, we're just going to re-steam (the clothes).''

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, patrons headed to the bar to wait, but were asked to leave their gift bags behind so the room would "look nice" when they returned.

The show got underway an hour later.

Then, an absolute showstopper...

which must be award-worthy, because it was followed by an Oscar...

With the weather becoming chillier by the day, it's the perfect time add colourful accessories to your outfit to warm you up and brighten your day.

Dotti's Rose Flower Beanie would look cute with pastels and florals in floaty fabrics, denim, or a nice snug knit:

Polo Ralph Lauren


Was down at cheap clothing Mecca - also known as Savers in Brunswick - on the weekend, and turned up a few more fabulous bargains: a strapless, apricot-coloured Kookai dress for $10, a fitted black Portmans dress for $15, and - the buy of the day - a brand-spanking-new Polo Ralph Lauren fitted white shirt.... for $10.
