Everything You Need To Know About MBFWA 2018 Hello friends, family, esteemed colleagues and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week devotees! Welcome to this year’s 5-day fashion bender (more commonly referred to as fashion week) here Down Under. This week, the COH team will be running around in both freezing and unseasonably steamy days (cheers, weather, you confusing son of a gun) to bring you all the hautest trends fresh off the runway, cutest faces and flyest outfits loitering out the front. Also, the most ~random~ happenings that the four walls of Sydney’s Carriageworks shall inevitably bear witness to during this, the most wonderful time of the year. With heels that are already blistered c/o ill-fitting heels, a laptop that keeps dying on me, and way too much caffeine in my system, I’ll be here to make sure you know what’s up. But first, a few house rules… 1) Check yourself (in daily), lest you wreck yourself We’ll be updating this post regularly, so make sure to stop by daily (or hourly, or heck, every 5 minutes) to keep up to speed. 2) Come say g’day to the team if you see us about We don’t bite (much). 3) Pop on over to the COH Instagram for the least boring, least annoying #MBFWA spam of your life* *Or money back, guaranteed. Ready? Okay! HERE GOES! Camilla and Marc Packed Our Bags And Sent Us To Mars First thing’s first: did you catch the intergalactic, magical spectacle that was the Camilla and Marc show last night? Ex-squeeeeeze me while I scoop my jaw back up off the floor!!! Okay, back. Maybe you couldn’t see the show all the way down here on Earth, since it took place in space and all. If that’s the case, Earthlings, then buckle in because we’re about to fill you in like Craig David. Aside from the setting (which was built with lots of love and 60 whole tonnes of sand) and the sheer quantity of the crowd (800 peeps, including lots of VIPeeps), the collection itself was truly outta this world (geddit, GEDDIT?). Camilla Freeman-Topper and Marc Freeman—the design heroes behind the label—are celebrating 15 years of Camilla & Marc this year. Congrats, guys! According to the dynamic duo, the collection was inspired “by strong, future-thinking women”, which can def be seen in their xpert melding of masculine tailoring and feminine silhouettes. Some takeaways for you: tonal dressing is H-O-T, as is oversized, puffed up sleeves and cute pastel suits. Albus Lumen Was Dishing Out Some Major Prairie Vibes If Sofia Coppola’s Beguiled or classic Aussie flick Picnic at Hanging Rock were remade using Wes Anderson’s trademark pastel-saturated colour palette, then you would have something very close to Albus Lumen’s latest collection. The romance factor was high, the silhouettes were very ~ladylike~ and the entire show called into question our recent threats to only ever wear suits again. Also, we now can’t imagine our lives without a cute little bonnet hat in them. Because, well, cute! Man, I Feel Like A (Strong) Woman After Bianca Spender Soft, flowing silhouettes and suit dressing was all the rage at Bianca Spender’s show this year. We’ll take one of everything, pls. Lee Mathews Made Us Want To Picnic Every Damn Day Of Our Lives Lee Mathews really turned it on for the crowd this year, with the collection equivalent of an ethereal picnic. Sound confusing? That’s because it probably is! Let me start again. LM’s show was a true standout on day 2 of MBFWA with pretty florals, adorable checks, sweet bucket hats and a very atmospheric setting. Here’s to picnicking every singe day for the rest of our lives. Turns A 5-Year-Old Was The Best Dressed Attendee One word: OMGGGGGGGGGG. Everyone Else Can Go Home… JUST JOKES! There Was A LOT Of Stiff Competition One word: LEWK. Street Style Images by @kahlimccredie The post Everything You Need To Know About MBFWA 2018 appeared first on CHRONICLES OF HER. Maddy Woon
