I love the portrayal of Vreeland from adventurous woman to style icon – placed among the backdrop of rapidly changing roles of woman and the relationship with power. I love the resilience she conveyed – the famous quote “There’s only one very good life and … Read More Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

by Eva Wynne

I was initially seduced by Red Dress – featuring fashion designer Samantha Sotos. You can see this below: The equally beautiful production of Alma Flamenca – featuring Guitar maker Vassilis Lazarides is also below: It’s refreshing to … Read More Celebrating Craftsmanship – The Art of Making

Creativity of fashion designers magnified
by Eva Wynne
What I’m going to argue today is that because there’s no copyright protection in the fashion industry, fashion designers have actually been able to elevate utilitarian design, things to cover our naked bodies, into something that we consider art. Because there’s no copyright protection in this industry, there’s a very open and creative ecology of creativity. — Johanna Blakley Blakley’s discourse shows the fascinating response of designers in an industry that is both practical … Read More Creativity of fashion designers magnified
What’s your fashion style?
by Eva Wynne
I’m always interested in learning the vocabulary of style*. The first 8 years of my adult life was spent believing people just instinctively “knew” how to express their own stylishness but alas I wasn’t one of these lucky ones. Then I got a clue. While some people do seem to instinctively know their own personal style and how to put that together with the myriad of choices available … Read More What’s your fashion style?

Who’s really really good looking?
by Eva Wynne
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 … Read More Who’s really really good looking?

Fascinators in full-bloom
by Eva Wynne
Race-day fashions had a big outing this Melbourne Cup Day. I had the pleasure of being in the CBD, watching sharp-suited men escorting their well-heeled, be-fascinatored women. Everyone looking very well; lovely. I’m a big fan of the fascinator, personally I think there should be more occasions to wear them! The more frivolous the better. Fascinators, in my view are the perfect combination of … Read More Fascinators in full-bloom
