If you were in Melbourne last week surely you would of attended at least one show at the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival. I was lucky enough to help backstage, get the feel of the garment, first look at the hair and make up and experience the adrenaline pumping back of house action. Now that the week is over I thought I would share a mini recap of some of my favourite looks from the festival. This year's event showcased some of Australia's most prominent designers such as Camilla, Kahlo, Michael Lo Sordo, Camilla and Marc, Alpha60 amongst many more and a range of themes from tribal to classy to hipster - evidently extending its appeal to the diverse Australian fashion consumers.

and all things tweed.

Surely anyone who has been following some of the top fashion bloggers and instagram accounts must of already seen Karl Lagerfeld's imaginative supermarket catwalk setting for his latest Chanel collection. 

But lets dissect the elements and understand the international attraction. The supermarket - where we spend at least an hour or two on a weekly basis, it effectively encourages consumerism and is very colourful. The garments - I don't know about you but to me it looked like Barbie is back in action. The pinks mixing with metallics and all things tweed, turtlenecks and sneakers.
