Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. Day Three. Camilla and Marc.


FASHION Week's evening shows including Camilla and Marc and Alice McCall didn't disappoint.

Camilla and Marc

The collection had to be strong to avoid being overwhelmed by the decadence of the State Theatre, but Camilla and Marc didn't disappoint.

Bold colour blocking, fresh prints, textured fabrics and neon elements created a fun, youthful show.

The designers ignored the old adage that blue and green should never be seen by teaming the hues together.

Skinny belts, rectangular perspex clutches, super-sized ruffles and tiered skirts combined to form fresh silhouettes.

Cut-outs at the waist appeared on the catwalk yet again.

Camilla and Marc collaborated with Quicksilver to create a neoprene, wetsuit fabric, blazer and cropped shell top which also featured on the runway.

Alice McCall

Pretty and delicate are the key features of Alice McCall's designs and her latest collection didn't disappoint.

Classic bone chins patterns were an inspiration for the collection, evident in the blue and white prints.

A body-con knit dress made it's way down the runway, but the majority of pieces featured floaty skirts.

White formed the basis of the collection, which made the black mini dress with gold Fleur de Lys embroidery even more of a standout.

Cut-outs, pleats and florals rounded out the collection.

A few lucky models walked the runway in brogues while others tottered on sky-high platform booties with a curved heel. Ouch.

Gary Bigeni

Gary Bigeni may have partnered up with Spanx for his show, however the highlight wasn't the VPL-less models, but rather the softly draped dresses.

Elegant and wearable, the silk jersey pieces were pretty in shades of blue.

Cut out backs were featured on dresses and tops and thick, horizontal stripes were key.

Belted waists was a strong theme throughout the collection.

Slouchy knits were paired with supple leather and cropped trousers featured on yet another catwalk during day three of fashion week.
