Trelise Cooper, Twinset, Moss & Spy – these are just a few of the New Zealand and Australian designers and boutique labels who quite simply knock the ball out of the park when it comes to bringing us floral prints that make us want to weep at their sheer beauty. Of course the endless creativity of these designers doesn’t seem too big a stretch, when for inspiration they only have to look to the magnificent landscapes of the Southern Hemisphere. The colours, the vibrancy, and the variety – the blooming beauty abounds.

 

 

Classic Fashion is making a come back. The movie of the moment has to be A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga taking the role played by Barbara Streisand in the 1976 remake of the original film. It’s fascinating to see that since making the movie, Lady Gaga, once known for her borderline crazy fashion choices (think her Meat Dress that once graced –or disgraced- the Red Carpet) is now making a whole new style statement. Slick, sophisticated and downright stunning, she has been working old-school Hollywood glamour to the max.
