Kate Hurst and Friedrich Gray designs at MMSFW Style Wars
Johnny Cash's smooth tones provided the soundtrack to the Claude Maus range which was next to hit the catwalk at MMSFW Style Wars. A chic and stylish range in monochrome, the pieces catered for women as well as men who have a retro-Euro look in mind.
Claude Maus White Pocketed Skirt
Pretty round skirts with square external pockets, cute black ribbon neck ties, funky layering for the girls, and menswear with a Ralph Lauren meets mod overtone, this collection was nothing but 21st Century Melbourne. Smart work wear which would see you through to evening drinks included shirt dresses with bows, micro mini dresses with textured overlay fabrics and jackets, shiny anoraks and plenty of black and grey meant this was a very Melbourne designer indeed.
Kate Hurst Floral Top with Orange Shorts
The ultra-feminine styling of Kate Hurst followed, continuing with the mini trend (dresses, skirts, shorts). Pale blue chambray-esque fabrics and bright oranges gave this a definite spring vibe, with florals and high waisted shorts continuing the theme.
Kate Hurst Floral Mini Dress
Flounces and floaty sleeves, ruffles and sweet dresses all contributed to give this collection a fresh, cute and casual feeling, without need to sacrifice quality tailoring. The featured evening gown was a stunning black sparkly number, with a retro 60's shift feel, after which the range included some more street styled 80's influenced gear with zippers and cropped jackets.
Kate Hurst Sparkly Black Mini Shift Dress
While the tempo shifted into high speed with the hard core techno music for Friedrich Gray's range, the catwalk models were clearly instructed to keep the pace fast and furious. More black and white and more mini's graced the stage with a feminine, sporty and casual feel. Again, a mod overtone, particularly for the men, with checked shirts buttoned to the neck, anoraks, waistcoats and stovepipe pants.
Friedrich Gray Leather Zip Dress with Sheer Grey Shell Top
Punk paid a visit here, with printed tees and hooded jersey tops, mini singlet dresses and zippered leather. Designs often used the contrast of a flowing cape or oversized jacket in soft greys or light fabric to add a feint hint of the feminine. Comfortable loose fabrics teamed with tight leggings and with a dramatic shredded look to a black coat, this is one label to keep your eye on.

It's weird how there's lack of waist definition in the frocks this season, but it's all over the shorts/pants/skirt arena.
Did you buy anything while you were there, CC?

M-C - I know - that's weird now you put it like that!
I didn't buy anything on this Melbourne trip - on a tight budget at the moment. Normally I save up and head down 2 or 3 times a year. I actually buy most of my clothing from Melbourne and online rather than from Sydney stores. It's usually a better all round experience.
Thanks for popping in you guys!
Cheers

Just not on me.
Maybe.
No.
Hmmm....
I think it's just the colour that's making me think twice.
