Before I go on and tell you about last night's Melbourne Spring Fashion Week show - The Looking Glass - at the Melbourne Town Hall, I just have a small grievance to air.
I know I've banged on about it before but if I were Claire Quirk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the 15-year-old model appointed then swiftly dumped as the face of Melbourne Spring Fashion week because she was deemed too young, I would be really peeved.
Backstage at last night's show there were dozens of 15 and 16-year-old models lounging around on beanbags, their noses in books or magazines, or alternatively, sipping water and nibbling on sandwiches, as they waited their turn in the hair and makeup chair.
There were no drugs or sex or slimy opportunistic men creeping around the bowels of the Melbourne Town Hall - just a handful of responsible event organisers and the odd mother or two keeping a watchful eye over their young charges,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
It just wreaks of hypocrisy to me, that the City of Melbourne can ban one model from being the "face" of the event because she is too young,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet employ dozens of girls the very same age,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to strut their stuff on the catwalk - it's about as stupid as the same said council's proposal to declare a car-free day in central Melbourne. At least that one was knocked on the head pretty swiftly. Enough said, but honestly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I can't wait for the day when commonsense prevails over bureaucratic stupidity.
On the catwalk, it was all about femininity, from long silk maxi dresses at Nevenka to slinky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], satin evening gowns at Jayson Brunsdon.
Anna Thomas' collection of prim and pretty Italian Riviera-inspired garments was also a standout in seaside spots and stripes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. She teamed full cotton skirts with tailored jackets and showed stick-out stiff cotton sundresses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Aurelio Costarella's collection was a little disappointing, only because it lacked a generous serving of the ethereal evening gowns we have come to expect from the talented Perth designer. The ones he did show - among his more commercial cotton sundresses and tailored shorts - were as pretty as ever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], particularly the handful of white flowing gowns in gossamer silk georgette.
Jayson Brunsdon's collection also fell a little flat. Only because the show's stylist decided to style his stunning silk and satin creations with white Bonds singlets and black canvas flats. Sure it was a cool and quirky was to showcase the glamorous gowns - in burnt orange,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], moss green and magenta - an obvious juxtaposition, but it did the gowns no justice whatsoever.
Call me a stick in the mud, but a gown constructed as cleverly as Brunsdon's (who will show in New York next week) deserve to be showcased in all their glory - with sky scraping stilettos and jewels - not singlets and sneakers.
I mean colour me crazy, but the idea of paying someone who looks good a large sum to function as a portable maniquine strikes me as a little odd, especially when university researchers struggle to get funding into issues such as health and social equity. Y'know,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], important stuff that's not a distraction or profitable.
Then there's the fact that fashion is an industry entirely based around the fact that 'you will be happy if you buy our clothes' - not only false but inherantly destructive socially,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], psychologically and financially.
Please be careful in future of throwing terms such as 'common sense' around when your entire profession is a glass house,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
And for the record,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'd suggest the earlier yo get used to car free days in Melbourne the better. Although your choice of career would suggest your priorities in life are not that well thought-out, breathing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], eating and being able to leave the house are probably still up there; all of which are liable to be threatened time to time by serious climate change.
