Fashion Week Recap: Street Style

-
Hey Grunge Kids,

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm feeling super sick today :( but since I'm at home all gloomy from this weather, I thought it best to recap on this year's street style at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2017. 

Here are my top shots from my time at fashion week! The two best trends of street style included:

Fur: Nearly every blogger, stylist, designer that walked into Fashion Week had some type of furry companion on their shoulders! But these furry creations were not your ordinary, run of the mill brown or black fur coats. These furs were from every spectrum on the colour wheel, from pastel pink, to multi-coloured masterpieces. I really enjoyed this trend, and will be going to get myself another fur sometime soon.

Fringe: If you would of said that I'd be caught dead wearing fringe a couple years ago I would have laughed, but in the last year (especially present in the fashion world and at fashion Week) fringe has made an absolute comeback! Along with the nostalgic 70's theme. Similar to the fur trend of fashion Week, fringe was not just a tassel on an earring, or a compliment on a bag. Fringe was taken to the extreme, so much that some bloggers were pairing leather fringe skirts with bare bodysuits. I also loved this trend, as I will be adapting more fringe into my looks. 

Overall, the streetstyle and runway looks of fashion Week were very similar with one common feature. EXTREME. In Australia, minimalism has been booted out the door, and bold prints, statement pieces and metallic accessories are the must haves of the season! Making Australia's gloomy winter, a little brighter and exciting!

Theatre 2 see in Sydney: ASYLUM

A challenge to the whirlwind obscurities of the Australian legal system and how far one will go to seek forever Asylum. I had the brilliant opportunity to endure the journey’s of five everyday Australian’s road to moralistic success through Ruth Fingret’s new work ‘Asylum.’ This work deals with the issues of disconnection, miscommunication, dishonesty and how whilst battling these issues all people just want to protect themselves and what’s important to them. The stylistic edgy, clean cut, fast-pace approach to these stories was juxtaposing, but intoxicatingly empathising to building these characters blackout by blackout.  The space of Comber Street studios (Paddington, Sydney) further inspires the sterile conditions endured through the highs and lows of the multilayered plot. Combining this hostility with the intimate performance space, intensified the silent aggression of each scene. By somehow still achieving quite comical moments through the directional work of Richa

Theatre to see in Sydney: Mauritius

Hey Grunge Kids,  Last Friday I was invited to the Australian Premiere, (presented by Sure foot productions) of Theresa Rebeck’s ‘Mauritius’ directed by Richard Cornally. The production is on at New Theatre in Newtown from the 12th-29th July and it’s one not to be missed! Mauritius is an American narrative of heightened stakes and greed, fuelled by egotistical drive. The plot had the option to be a dry, beige memoir of an envious stamp collector and a feuding sister rivalry. But the lighting and set design, combined with the sublime directorial work forced audience to engage in the dark issues addressed through the minimalistic approach in text.  I especially enjoyed the performance of ‘Mary’ (played by Emma Louise) who doubled as the dialect coach for the flavour-full accent work in the show. It could be as simple as the scratch of her leg or an anxious pull of her finger, but Emma’s naturalism pulled off character Mary’s ‘dying woman’ facade perfectly. I found most of the supporting

Standing next to some really cheesy art in a very ‘if Bruce Springsteen had a lovechild with freaks and geeks’ outfit.  You can never go wrong with a pair of Jerry Seinfeld level high waisted pants (god love ya Seinfeld) and a funky turtleneck.
