Racing Fashion Beautiful Girls Luncheon Autumn/Winter Showcase

Beautiful Girls Luncheon is always a good way to see what 'Myer' had to showcase for the coming season, but really I use the day for time with my mum and a good chat with friends that I only catch up with a few times a year.
It is really difficult in the financial climate for retailers and designers. My husband is a customs broker and knows exactly what is being imported and how much. Unfortunately let me say that because of the high Australian dollar it is harder for us to be exporting and as for importing, well there are really not enough sales right not.
If you go to shopping centres and gauge what is being sold, you will see that home wears will always be selling and somehow are always on special in some shape or form, although the rag trade is suffering.
Allot comes down to the consumer to blame as consumers are choosing to shop online attracting no sales tax or purchasing 2nd grade goods without them knowing and cutting out the middle man, sales people and overheads of the shop, rent, lighting electricity etc.
Department stores are looking for things to sell themselves.
Myer showcase was good, but still for the very young, although the audience is an older demographic and really pushing the idea of boots with socks or opaques. Love the idea of hosiery as I constantly get told I am old fashion, but in Melbourne Winter it is a no brainer and well for the boots, unless you have the model pins, they are going to bulk you down.

It was a very Melbourne look with Black, Grey and if we had colour, throw in some more black, but there were prints. The prints came out all together in different garments and somehow I feel they lost a bit of personality all coming out together. It showcases the different looks, but certainly shows that they were purchasing heaps of roles of fabric for a signature look. The only thing is print is dating very quickly. As soon as it is in, it goes out just as fast. In saying that, Matichevski and Yeojin Bae showed different shapes and design which really stood them apart and Leona Edminston we can rely on to give us different patterns, textures and moves beautifully as she is a design master. My stand out items for winter will be OPAQUE hosiery, a great winter coat, and as for Millinery, there is allot of talk on thermoplastic, but ANISS has stolen the show. If I was purchasing, an ANISS hat would be on the top of my list for Autumn/Winter headwear. It is distinctive and whatever you wear everything will be brought from the heaviness of Winter to your face. ANISS head wear is outstanding and the key 'Racing Fashion' must have for Autumn/Winter.
