Summer Dress sexy floral
This is one way to make a statement this Summer



As the Mercury steadily inches its way up higher than a pair of daisy Duke shorts its time to again start thinking about what to wear in the scorching Aussie sun.

Remaining popular as hem and waist lines alter, the summer dress is timeless. The more effortless and comfortable it appears the more sensual the results. A foundation of fashion throughout the ages, strikingly feminine, loosely falling into the contours of the body while smoothing out the rougher edges.

Revealing or coveting, the lines flow to accentuate the legs or loosely plunge for cleavage. Hovering around the knees floral type patterns, light earth or bold colours and shades of grey have dominated the dye barrels defining the look for decades.

A Modern Slice


Lazy Sunday attire for some, others try to evolve with the latest changes and this season it seems the 80’s continue to influence designers as the pull string style returns. So close after the failed resurgence of the balloon skirt over the last few years this unflattering cut may just be too snug and comfortable for some to resist. Personally I would label it the Ug boot of dress chic.

A whole new genre

Galliano's last catwalk show for his own label was brash brazen bordehlo but this season for Dior he's shifted from the door-jambs of Paris to the silver-screens of Hollywood, invoking screen sirens and sirs across eras, genders and genres.

Ode to an Italian Dress

From the hand-painted fabrics, the obsession with intricate embellishments and details to the matte velvet lips, D & G invoke a Keats-ian realm - instead of a Grecian urn, this is my ode to an Italian dress
