THE MUST-SEE SHOW
of the week had to be Stolen Girlfriends, with a queue that snaked
around the block of the Mercury Theatre. After photographers jostled
for prime position and wet-looking die hard fans waited in the rain
for over an hour, Stolen Girlfriends did not disappoint.
Last
Nights Party was the aptly named autumnwinter 2011
collection by Stolen Girlfriends.
Inspired by a night parting and awaking with memories
a distant foggy haze, the collection featured a hydrangea and cigarette
print, which was used on tailored jackets, pants, shirts, skirts
and blouses.
A more refined eye was apparent in this seasons
collection from the tailoring, the well edited colour palette of
wine, mauve, beige, cream and jet black, and clever styling to the
hair and make-up, all done with the nonchalance that is true Stolen
Girlfriends. Leather hot pants and leggings featured for the girls,
while body con dresses and gossamer chiffons were ruffled on to
blouses and dresses. For the boys, it was the biker jackets with
shearling, chunky knit cardigans and stovepipes. Fur (faux
of course) was also a welcome sight, fashioned into jackets and
on sleeves of a body suit.
Models walked the stage to a broken mix tape while
a wall of flashing lights gave a rock concert vibe to the proceedings,
helped out, of course, with the thundering drone of whoops and hollering
from everyone in the audience. The climax of the show came when
the bride and groom came on the stage and confetti cannons
went off, the bang showering everyone in petals.
AT
SERA LILLY, Sisters of San Salvador was a trip into
Spain as models came out wearing capes, wool, shearling, and traditional
jewellery in the first section of the show.
The second part of the show was Sera Lilly at
her best: floral prints galore came in buttery soft chiffons and
satins, mixed with sparkling jewels; floor-length gowns draped in
silks; and tired ruffles made an appearance before a Spanish infanta
came dressed in black with a lace mantila to close the show.
Key colours were camel, dusky pink, muted yellow,
mauve, jet black and cream.
