Seduce Jewelled Trousers - Half Co-ord Suit

One of my favourite purchases since being in Perth, Australia is my heavily patterned matching slim line suit by Seduce, a must have in any girls wardrobe. Worn together or separately it makes for a killer statement on any night out. Trousers were $90.00 and Jacket was $120.00 a steep spend on my part, however with the number of outfit choices and the ability to mix and match has made this one a worth while purchase.

Get you over the top co-ord suit now and kick ass on the high street.

Betty Tran Review - PFF Designer Capsule 2013

Betty Tran was the most anticipated designer on the catwalk during PFF designer Capsule 2013, and did not disappoint with her edgy twist on the classic female silhouette. The loud modern clashing music contrasted the femininity of the designs reinforcing the designers inspiration from the strength the passion and love portrayed through the modern woman.  With two central colour schemes of cherry red and metallic blue the catwalk featured varying textiles with a focus on elegant lacing. Classic shapes, fun colours, and over sized jewelry it was a collection any woman would kill to wear and was suitable for a variety of ages. Models wore the collection with messy buns and Gothic lace veils adding an almost French elegance to the collection. Towards  the end of the show work wear progressed into eye catching floor length gowns however followed the same colour scheme and classic elegance of the rest of the collection. The video bellow shows the final walk from Betty Trans exhibition at PFF Designer Capsule 2013.

“I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.” Madonna
Key Trends evident on Betty Tran's Runway: Metallic, over sized jewelry, high buns, Gothic, elegance, lace and tailoring.

Steph Audio Review - PFF Designer Capsule 2013

Known for their classic and modern silhouettes Steph Audio divulged their iconic theme with their PFF SS13 runway collection featuring a chic and romantic spin on female apparel.  A carefully designed juxtaposition was clearly visible as gorgeous models continued their walk across the room. Flowers, nature and a state of intense bliss was strikingly contrasted with an eerie Gothic charm with dark eyeshadow and dark ruffles and layers.
I eagerly await their new website launch to get an even deeper understanding of the brand and the collections that they have on offer.

Other features of Steph Audios' SS13 collection include:
         - Chiffon Overlay
         - Black Jewelled belts
         - Peplum
         - Black Lace details
         - Gothic makeup and bobbled hair
         - Over sized floral accessories.

Wild Horses Review - PFF Designer Capsule 2013

Natalie Donovan the designer behind the edgy and forever evolving women's fashion and accessories label Wild Horses. With a motto of:
"Escape the herd" (Donovan 2012)

This was effortlessly achieved with powerful statements continuously making their appearance down the runway. Inspired by simple structural elegance, Wild Horses SS14 collection is for wearers who aim to make an effortless splash. The collection focuses on shiny metallic aesthetics, with pretty pastel colours contrasted with sharp silver striking pieces. Other trends that Donovan grasped was exposed midriffs, black white & blue opal patterns, cropped outerwear and over sized metallic clutches. It was a surprising and memorable show highlighting the ethos behind the growing brand.

Favourite from the collection was the cropped short sleeve silver biker jacket a versatile piece that would transform any outfit. I would wear this with Neon Orange shirt and Daisy print skinny Jeans, how would you wear yours?
