That’s right folks – the beautiful people were out for the MBFF!

Now, I”ll be the first to confess there are huge gaps in my fashion appreciation. I know what I like and I love the idea of something as practical as personal covering (i.e. clothing) as a form of expression. Risk-taking in this form is also very engaging. It can be spectacularly awful or wonderfully sublime.

Day Four – Emerging Designers had some standouts. Check out the beautiful fabrics and lines of Eva Lilly. Sabrina Saunders crisp clean shapes and the aysmetrical one shouldered gown of Sharka Bosakova is just divine. I will definitely be keeping my eye’s (and purse) alert for these emerging brands.

You can find out more about emerging and young designers at the Young Designer Markets held in South Bank. The YDM are held on the first Sunday of the month on Little Stanley Street.
