With Mercedes
Benz Fashion Week currently on in Sydney, Farfetch have asked me to take part
in their blogger competition to design my own fashion week event and select my
favourite pieces from Farfetch. To celebrate the recent launch I’ve chosen to
focus on Australian designer pieces, which I’ve paired back with accessories
from international luxury labels.
Overwhelmed by
choices, I’ve narrowed down my favourite pieces into two outfits.
The Outfits
1. Ksubi sunglasses 2. Vita Fede cuff 3. Dion Lee sweater 4. Ginger & Smart skirt 5. Eddie Borgo ring 6. Pearls Before Swine ring 7. Ginger & Smart bag 8. Ginger & Smart heels
For the first outfit I worked around the Ginger & Smart printed skirt, pairing it with a cream Dion Lee knit, heels with a rubber outsole and velcro details for a slight sporty vibe. I finished the look with touches of rose gold in the accessories and round sunnies.

For the evening
look I chose this stunning Ellery dress, being drawn to the geometric print and
feminine silhouette. I selected a range of silver jewellery, diamond shaped onyx bangle and statement necklace to compliment the various shapes. Paired with a white clutch to contrast the dark tones, with an exposed zipper detail to tie it in and Senso strappy heels to complete the look.
The Venue
The Richard Wherrett Studio in the Roslyn Packer Theatre offers a unique space for
events with high ceilings, rustic brickwork and iron beams which gives the room
a cool industrial feel. The studio works great as a blank canvas, which can be
transformed into a more luxurious space with glamorous lighting and furnishings.
The studio would
be the perfect venue space for an intimate runway event during fashion week.
The event would feature Australian designers, offering them to a chance to mingle
with fellow industry leaders, fashion bloggers and media. Imagining the event
to be the launch for Farfetch’s partnership with the Australian labels and
boutiques, the runway would feature Ginger & Smart, Dion Lee, Alex Perry
and Ellery.

Entertainment
To create the
ultimate atmosphere in this unique space, local Sydney singer George Maple
would perform live throughout the evening. Signed to record label Future
Classic, she’s most known for guest vocals on electronic tracks by Flume and
What So Not. She recently released her EP Vacant Space and toured in Australia and
internationally, including a guest appearance at Coachella this year. Having
seen her perform live earlier this year in Melbourne, I can guarantee she
delivers on entertainment and amazing live vocals to cool electronic beats.
