Back from Sydney: after a whirlwind of a week and a wedding at the Melbourne Botanical Gardens, both my legs and my camera are aching for a rest. But be prepared for an onslaught of reviews, fresh photography and general fashion week updates. A taster of the latter can be found above; the exquisiteness of the Christian Dior show featuring backstage details with makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Orlando Pita (250-300 clips per head!). Despite the recession looming gravely upon even the most affluent of fashion houses, Galliano “upped the luxe” in his fall collection for Dior, drawing on both the 1920s flapper for inspiration as well Oriental and Persian flavours to saturate his richly crafted silks and chiffon creations. The full show can be found here for perusal.

The recurring sharp shoulders (Hervé Léger, Donna Karan) gave this season a defined edge and were throughout complimented by the structural diligence of collections such as Jeremy Laing, Alexander Wang and Narciso Rodriguez. Rodriguez in particular reigned in his sharp, form fitting style with a conscious mix of both monochromatic and bold colour palettes that delineated both his metal zipper detailing and decisive silhouettes. Between the pulses of colour and the sleek, head hugging knits, Roudriguez had managed to successfully achieve his desire for “imaginary futurism” without compromising on elegance or stylistic integrity.

Debuting her dancing talent to the fashion world in Gaultier’s Fall/Winter 07 show, Rocha has consistently exhibited qualities beyond those typically attributed to the muted breed of runway models. Her bright personality resists the catty stereotypes and sharp-tongued critics of the fashion sphere, rising above the mundane and embossing the runways with her skill and enthusiastic spark. This season Rocha sports both a new cut and flaming hue, and has graced the catwalk for Diane von Furstenberg and Rag & Bone.
