LMFF - My Swag 2011

My final LMFF 2011 related post. After mildly tidying up my desk after a week of piling clothes and the like on it I've fished out my gift bags that I got from the festival. I got some pretty cool things, some random but all in all who doesn't like free stuff? Obviously I got a lot of L'Oreal beauty products as well as some magazines, Redkin hair products and Synergy Energy drinks. There are a few gift vouchers from designers from the shows I attended, fueling the shopping addiction again ahaha.

Ready to Wear Trunk Show

LMFF - Ready To Wear Trunk Show 2011

My final show for the festival was the Ready to Wear Trunk Show presented by the City of Stonnington yesterday morning at the Malvern Town Hall. The best designers from the City of Stonnington showed off their collections including Cable Melbourne, Body by Dainy Sawatsky, John Cavill, Lisa Barron, Lisa Taranto and Not Your Daughter's Jeans. The Trunk Show also featured special guests including the Victorian Premier's daughters Martha and Eleanor as well as Miss World Alexandria Mills and first and second runner up Emma Wareus from Botswana and Adriana Vasini from Venezuela.  

My favourite looks came from Lisa Baron and Lisa Taranto for her feminine and edgey silhouettes respecitvely, I also loved the jewelery featured in Not Your Daughter's Jeans. This show was a much more of a relaxed show than the others but still had great fashion and the town hall was so pretty and period. A good and yet sad end to the festival, as I don't want it to end! A special thanks to my Big Sis, my Fashion Fairy Godmother Jane and Krystal for her Camera for such a great week love love love them all!

LMFF - L'Oreal Paris Runway 2011

Last night I attended the L'Oreal Paris Runway 5 featuring designers Auerlio Costarella, Collette Dinnigan, Dion Lee, Jayson Brunsdon, Scanlan & Theodore, Toni Maticevski and Willow. It was my first womanswear runway show and it didn't disappoint. I love love loved looks by Dion Lee, Collette Dinnigan and Aurelio Costarella. I particularly loved the pants created by the designers including a pair of leather looking skinny harems; tres intense.

Also I got to see Aussie model Cassi Van Den Dungen on the runway which was great because I've always been a fan of hers back in the Australian Top Model days. I must say I prefer the womenswear runways, there is just so much more variety offered then mens. Another great addition to my LMFF 2011 experience.

LMFF - Menswear Runway 2011

Last night I got to attend the Menswear Runway for L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. Once again props go out to my big Sis and my Fashion Fairy Godmother for the great tickets.  I got to sit in one of the runway boxes getting a great view of the runway.  The Menswear show was sponsored by GQ and Specsavers as well as having special runway guest supermodel Helena Christensen. The show featured looks by Arthur Galan, Vanishing Elephant, Campaign, Alpha60, Autonomy, From Britten, Farage and Three Over One.

European trends were evident, screaming out London (I wish I was there). Rich and Neutral colours were everywhere loving the beige, camel and port. I love love love this Arthur Galan Jacket which like a reversed sheepskin like jacket (below). Helena walked within the show, looking stunning as ever a pretty big highlight of the night. After the show I got to grab a pic with LMFF face Melissa George who was looking tres intense as well as designer Alex Perry. And in all a great night!

LMFF - Jack London Trunk Show 2011

Tonight I got the pleasure to attend the Jack London Trunk Show, apart of L'Oreal's Melbourne Fashion Festival for 2011. A big thanks to my big sis for hooking me up with the entry. I took Krystal to the event which had drinks in the foyer with photographers and film camera buzzing around the place as the show was livestreamed on the Jack London website. 

We got great front row seats, again thanks to the sister the show was a close gathering allowing for a greater view of the clothes. It was a great show, full of skinny pants, combat boots, smart tailored jackets and a leather trench coat which I really want to buy with my next pay check! Love love love

I cannot wait to attend more LMFF events this week. Posts will follow. 

Follow the jump for some of the shots I took from the show...
