From the front row: Got Black?

Two days into L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival and I have to tell you I was a little worried after the first show.

Not because it wasn’t great fun and well put together(kudos Arts Events), but mainly because I felt as though I was seeing the same thing over and over: an abundance of black.
Locals might baulk at this observation- it is well known that Melbourne has a love affair with black and that it rules the fashion pack.
But I don’t go to fashion week to see more of the same, I go to be inspired.

Here are some wearable looks from the Loreal Paris Runway 1 presented by Grazia on Monday featuring –
Ksubi, Karen Walker, Tina Kalivas, Kirrily Johnston, LIFE With BIRD, sass & bide, Romance Was Born, Josh Goot, J’Aton

So black, grey, body con- you got that?!

Onto Loreal Paris Runway 2 presented by Vogue Australia on Tuesday, and things definitely start to pick up with Yeojin Bae, Dhini and Camilla & Marc amongst others presenting a lighter palette of wearable looks.

Thats all I have time for at this stage, but if you want a great look at whats going on in and around the shows, check out Melbourne Street Fashion, they have great daily coverage of what’s going on.
