Fashion Week Faves

Alex Perry
Lisa Ho
Michelle Jank
Nicola Finetti
Looking at the shows so far there are a number of stand out dresses from a few designers. There also seems to be quite a bit of beige and pale grey on the catwalk. I guess that's par for the course though - these colours are peppered through collections in every show, every season I think - perhaps so designers don't look like they have gone too crazy? Does grey and tan sell better I wonder?

Some of the evening dresses are very colourful though which is wonderful. I'm glad our obsession with glamour and feminine dressing is continuing into next season. The Maxi dress is also staying put, as are high waisted pants and tailored jackets. Nautical is still popular and so are sheer fabrics and frilly dresses worn over tights or pants.

My picks so far are Alex Perry (who is a genius) for his to-die-for evening frocks.

Michelle Jank's Indian inspired collection looks impressive - as does the bespoke jewellery accompanying it.

Lisa Ho's evening wear is bright and beautiful and Nicola Finetti is doing his usual amazing frocks. Finally, I'm not usually a big fan of Wayne Coopers (too modern for my tastes) but he has a couple of gorgeous, very full (draped?) frocks that look very dramatic.
