Met Ball 2011

It’s that time of year again, my favourite gathering of all of my favourite designers and muses! This year’s gala honoured Alexander McQueen with Florence and the Machine performing. Really couldn’t get better!This year was the year of young’ns, the Fanning sisters, Emily Browning, glee girls, and Taylor Swift were just some of the young Hollywood crop in attendance. I really shouldn’t be but I was surprised that beige/neutral was the colour for the night.

Mendel(love the bodice, hate the skirt) Sarah Burton in her own McQueen designDakota Fanning in ValentinoMichelle Williams in Miu MiuBest Dressed: Diane Kruger in Jason WuMost breathtaking: Shalom Harlow in MarchesaBest make up look: Emma Stone in Lanvin and bright fuchsia lips Most Dramatic: Christina Ricci in Zac Posen Worst Dressed: Madonna in Stella McCartney, unflattering and wrinkledMost shocking: Anna Dello Russo in McQueen, yep I know, J’ADR her normally but nop, from the knee down it was a disaster. Flares, like that, just no… Cutest couple: Anna Wintour + Bee Shaffer, they were almost worst dressed but nawww the mother and daughter pair just look so cute together. Who were your favourites from the ball?

Jersey, cotton and tweed

As busy as I have been for the last couple of weeks, I still managed to make some of the designs I’ve sketched up during my down time. While most of my school friends are buying  up a frenzy trying to stock up on things to wear [since we don't have our trusty old school uniform anymore] I’ve been frantically brain storming, sketching and making versatile, simple garments to wear. Mum bought loads of cute printed modal and jersey while overseas, it’s been a bit of challenge since there’s so much stretch and drape to account but I managed!

PS. I was lucky enough to be featured on page four of the The Age last sunday. It was an amazing experience and I was so surprised(and flattered) it took up half a page! You can read the story here.  PPS.I kept on typing ‘tweet’ instead of ‘tweed’- addicted much?!
