MSFW’s new talents

There is always a lot to see at MSFW, and a lot that impresses, but my favourite shows are always the RMIT student showcase and the emerging designer show, which were held on the same night this time. Yes, my brain nearly did explode. So much creativity, yet to be reined in by the worry of whether something is commercially viable! But I won’t babble on – have a look for yourselves!   
MSFWではいろんなデザイナーのコレクションが見れますが、私の一番好きなショーはいつも学生や新デザイナーのものです。「普段着るのは?」というものがたくさんありましたが、学生の時に限って、売れるかどうか気にせず、クリエーティビティだけにフォーカスしているのはいいですね!

… and in the emerging designer show, among many highlights, Livia Arena painted bold brushstrokes on a mini-dress…

…while Neo Dia wowed with white, bold colours and metallics … 

You can bet that after these shows I just wanted to run home, dig out my material stash and get sewing! Anyway, that’s enough about MSFW. I’ve got plenty of DIY ideas and I’ll be back with regular posts next week.
