In Minds Eye, S/S 2011


This time round I bring you the designs of Melbourne designer Jock Dredge, with his collection entitled & Then There Was Light. Carl from the Fashionisto says "In Minds Eye serves up a collection that maintains dark aspirations, while remaining refreshingly low-key". Most of the garments are simple pieces, with a few acidic patterns and a screen printed motif. The starkness of the pieces seems to complement well the bleak Australian coast where the shots are taken. Overall the collection seems to present an edgier and darker take on current fashion trends, and does so with success.






These matching Yin-Yang sweater are cool, and give me ideas for my own designs that I'm working on. I also like the use of having a shirt tied around the waist in the second image, a style that was also featured in Fernardo Frisioni's Spring Summer collection at RAFW this year (See below).




These two tops I like particular. The contrast of the denim sleeves with the white is unconventional, yet cool, and the doubled shirt may not be original, but here it's done really well.

Rosemount Australian Fashion Week 2010 Personal Highlight

Part of my continued exploration into the realm of fashion of late, has involved keeping up with the Rosemount Australian fashion week (online, I wasn't actually there). It seems to mainly focus on quite contemporary kinds of fashion, and was really my first experience with what I saw as a real runway show. I was impressed by the way the shows mix not the clothes, the music, the atmosphere. Although the clothes are the focus, they are supplemented by all the other aspects around them. (Perhaps designers should implement aspects of smell and touch as well, to please all the senses, perhaps.)

Anyway, here are some of my personal highlights. Click images to see larger.
