UNITARD......GOSSIP COUTURE

http://www.gossipcouture.com.au/ = Mauricio. Mauricio, Mauricio, Mauricio.. the Latin creative behind Gossip Couture.

I love the odd bits and pieces in the Gossip Couture collection, the fruity palette bolero jacket, the 'must have' organza silk high waist pant.. and the... wait for it..... the..... "UNITARD" ensembles.

The collection proudly announces 'limited edition liquid floral prints' and "80's inspired spandex basics". My opinion?....... I love the organza pant..., I like the idea of the 'unitard' ...( but doesn't confirm that i would wear it xoxo), I enjoy admiring the "floral" bolero!..... ( and yes I would wear it xo)

The Gossip collection lacks consistency.... although I clearly do not mind the offerings of pant, jacket, cape , shorts and leotards... I am slightly confused????. It would have been nice to witness a theme and agenda perhaps and continuity within each piece?.

WHO IS LOVING NEON HEARTACHE??...

Such wonderful news!!!, Apparently the little label... NEON HEARTACHE.. has hit a publicity high!... a fan following from the likes of RUBY ROSE..Mtv personality...and not a stranger to the face of fashion.

Bravo.. to the Pr team for Neon Heartache... whispers it's the talented team at Kaw Agency representing Neon Heartache. I predict this should be a very busy busy period for Miss Amelia Duncombe and her little/ ( not so little now) label Neon Heartache..... already national orders have sky rocketed....

I recall recently penning a review on Neon Heartache and how I declared the label about to peak and find it's rightful place in the fash. industry! Well who in the world would have guessed she landed in her rightful place so soon!!!!...


Off to invest in a few more pieces of Neon Heartache.................xoxo.

TOO AFFORDABLE FOR THE LABEL....SU-WEN LEONG.

SU-WEN LEONG...... an AUSTRALIAN designer. This is her creation, this is her vision, this is her hope for the fashionable woman.

When I first came across the creations of Su - wen Leong... I contemplated with thought: " there is something visually appealing about her designs... feminine and flirty, and full of taste".

This label is definately on trend with the fashion demands locally, nationally and somewhat internationally, but it isn't entirely cutting edge.. but that's ok.. because I don't think this is her goal.

My critic tongue says... the $ value of a Su-wen Leong creation suprised me!!!! Personally if you ask me, it is priced at a very very very very very very very very affordable 'Price'. Maybe this is the goal of Su-wen Leong.. to create beautiful on trend garments to suit the purse strings of all fashionista's????? who knows... but in my professional opinion, the garments appear to be almost too well made, presented and created to be placed at such an affordable price point.. if anything it almost undervalues the brand/label?.... these are just my critic thoughts. .....xoxo.

The affordable factor is only a minor element to point out...... I am certain there are many fashionista's who could fill their entire wardrobes with Su-wen Leong creations without breaking the bank account....

In conclusion: I think Su-wen Leong is capable of demanding more $ for her creations.... .. there is something special in your work Su -wen Leong...xx

Research the Su-wen Leong label @ www.suwenleong.swappler.com

'MAKE SEAN FAMOUS'......MAKE SEAN FAMOUS...MAKE SEAN FAMOUS...MAKE SEAN FAMOUS...MAKE SEAN FAMOUS...MAKE SEAN FAMOUS.

Somewhere in the sunny side of Queensland in the bellowing bowels of Brisbane.... lies the little label....self righteously known as "Make Sean Famous"! Such a bold statement!, is it a statement?, is it a hope?, is it a dream?, is it a goal? is it a declaration?, or is it simply just a label... called "Make Sean Famous"?...with no hidden agendas except for the fact of carving out a reputation as a young and rising male talent... catering for the Maleista fashion taste buds.

hmmmmmm "Make Sean Famous".... I love the ring and tone to it... "Make Sean Famous", it almost reminds me of a fan base of screaming fashionista's holding up sign posts with the phrase splashed unwaringly......"Make Sean Famous"... almost similar to that of a petition!... sign up everyone... and "Make Sean Famous"!!!xo.

Putting aside all commercial shenanigans.......and focusing on the creations... my critic tongue would have to say... I am very impressed... very impressed indeed.

I believe Mr Sean Barker... ( aka face behind "Make Sean Famous") is just about to breath some new life into the male wardrobe. Could Mr Sean Barker be Australia's very own Mr Alexander Wang?... hmmmmm... he is definately a fresh new breed emerging on the shores of our fashionable border. He definately is producing impressive linear tales within his creations.

Minimalistic, simplistic, yet edgy in a very fashion forward manner. I love the head to toe detailing.. the simple constant draping....... the effortless appeal of teaming above the knee shorts with the male leggings....love love love.

Ladies and Gentlemen.. I think.. we are just about to witness the very FAMOUS beginning for a Mr Sean Barker!... .... so yes.. deservingly so... "Make Sean Famous".

Changing the face of Brisbane Male Fashion........................in a very Sean Barker way. xoxo.

If Mr Sean Barker is taking his "Make Sean Famous" label to showcase in this years Brisbane Mercedes Benz Festival... I predict the doors will be flying open everywhere for his future beginnings......xo

P.S. Mr "Make Sean Famous" is bursting onto the scene with a bevvy of talent: shoe designer and bag designer!!! this label is going to be a conglomerate in the male fashion sense.

P.S. a note to Mr Barker... this is something very suitable to the likes of a Mr Olivier Zahm from France...it is something very Purple Fashion like... contact him...if you can..

YDO LAUNCH NIGHT............WAS TWO OR SO WEEKS AGO.

The launch of YDO on March 26th 2010.........was:

-small and intimate... which was perfect..., not too much hoo ha.. ( if you know what I mean)

-had invitees only... if you were not on the guestlist.. then sorry..

-a great evening for everyone from designers to media, press, socialites and select fashion fans to just have a great relaxed mingling time

-not pretentious... really it was just a nice professional unpretentious atmosphere..... ( which is highly unusual within the fash industry?????. ( but great)

-well planned!.... no major glitches from my observation

-a perfect beginning for YDO

- for those who were expecting some big she-bang runway launch parade with bells and whistles.... well, none of that was given or seen... instead, the mood was p.e.r.f.e.c.t...... just having a chilled time, and appreciating the young talents of YDO in a very humbling fashion..... which I loved!!!, the angle was so non - cliche......xoxo.

NEON HEARTACHE... THE LOVE OF MY WARDROBE

I promised I would do a piece on the much loved label Neon Heartache.. but regretfully, no images of their latest collection as yet. However I can say, I had the pleasure of adorning a Neon Heartache ensemble....not quite sure what you would call it,,... but lets just say, many appreciators of fashion approached me to stroke the black bird....xoxo.

A mini creation lathered in dark slick black feathers............GORGEOUSxo.

Amelia Duncombe, the beautiful brains behind Neon Heartache.. a little label propelled into existence only a few years ago.. but I believe is just about to peak in presence right about NOW!.
Fashionista's there is no webby..., but coming soon.... so till I get my hands on their recent collection images... you will just have to take my word for it!!! xo.



Style rating: Neon Heartache.... a label that is just about to become HUGE.

MERCEDES BENZ FASHION FESTIVAL: FINALLY XOXO.

The best news waffled its way into my ear yesterday.. and of course publicly declared today. The best news to even take me away from my extreme duties of commentary
The best news that could even take me away from lacquering my nails with smokey grey Yves Saint Laurent....xo
The best news that could even stop me from sipping my tea
The best news that momentarily stopped me from touching up my lippy!!!!!

And the best news is of course the announcement that Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival ( Brisbane ) has found a new home!... and I am so proud to hear that the MR BENNETT team will be feeding fashion to the fashionably hungry.. by way of a Marquee.. in Southbank. ( I can just so see the vision:.. big and grand marquee, set up in a very plush New York with an Aussie flavour environment...runway show!)

My gosh, finally it has happened! The Brisbane offering of Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival is finally measuring up to its sister cities of Sydney and Melbourne!!xo. ( even though we will have to still wait to witness the fashion offerings and etc...).

Last year.. I recalled a penned review from Madam me.. myself, Alexandra E... a review which spoke of the brutally honest truth on Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival....... this year.. I hope to do the opposite... for some inkling of a feeling,, I think I will achieve just that! My fashion conscious tells me that this year.. Mr Bennett and his team are out to do some serious fashion rubbing!!, out to impress and make Brisbane shine within the fashion stakes for that momentary week!xoxo.

So proud am I .. as a fashion commentator, identity, critic, stylist, brain... whatever you may know me or refer to me as......that this is finally happening..a bigger and better showcasing of Brisbane's finest fashion event.

Now all they need to do is set it up like a very exclusive showing where front second and third row seats are reserved for VIP's within the industry.. I'm talking about the editors of Glossies, the voices behind the fashion bloggers..., the iconic fashion identities of celebrities and muses. Hang name plaques over the seating and take a snap shot of it.. just to tease the curiosity of fashionista's who just might be curious enough to want to attend the event purely for a glimpse of the VIP's...???.

Create a real New York'ish flavour.... This will only be achieved if you see a fashion blogger seated front row at an A-list designer showing in Brisban'es Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival.. blogging madly away.. beaming the information world wide to fashion lovers INSTANTLY!! If the team at MR Bennett's head quarters are clever and on to it... this is the new marketing flavour tactic to push the sales.... hmmmm I think I am a very clever fashion brain...xoxo.

Terribly excited with this years event... I predict it to be the best one yet for the Bennett team!!!xoxo. I'm shouting this to my overseas fashion lovers..... keep an eye on this little independent one.

www.mbff.com.au And it's happening in a different date slot.. early August... and it's appearing ahead of Sydney!!! can you believe it??? ahead of Sydney.. literally opening it.. for Australia!!!!! xoxoxo.
