Ah, did you think that fashion month was officially over? Think again! Australian Fashion Week just wrapped and was a true celebration of Australia's culture, creativity, and designers. Although we're hitting our summer-ready stride here in the Northern and Western hemispheres, Australia is in the temperamental throes of autumn. However unpredictable the weather was, brisk one moment then warm and languid the next, the AFW showgoers still set out to celebrate all of summer's biggest trends.
There were summertime stripes paired with basket bags, a juxtaposition against the backdrop of fall weather. Crochet, open-work tops were layered beneath linen suit sets -- complete with pumps and oversized clutches. Little cropped jackets were balanced by a nostalgic seasonal favorite, the capri pant, and elevated with modern heels and updated designer bags. We spotted hints of romance with lace trimmings, appropriately layered under poplin button-up shirts and worn over dark wash denim. Then, there was destination dressing in the form of vintage, vacation-worthy prints, mixed and matched with statement pieces like an It bag and metallic heeled mule.
