The Perfect Jumpsuit by Micky In A Van

Estelle Michaelides is the genius behind the Micky in a Van fashion design label; and she is one a of a kind – the sweetest and generous kind. We actually met over an Instagram post – “um and ah-ring about whether to go to New York Fashion Week or Paris Fashion Week”, and fortunately we both did (I went to NYFW and she followed her heart to PFW).

What I love about Estelle is that she’s confident and not afraid to stand out. Estelle creates art that is wearable and inspired by her surroundings and emotions. She doesn’t like to follow seasonal trends and colours or what the latest Designer is doing.

After returning from our awe-inspiring Fashion Week trips; we got together for a fashion editorial shoot to explore what we both learnt and experienced during Fashion Week. If you are wondering what that is, it is simply “Fashion on Steroids”.

Since there are only 2 more days till VAMFF, I am proud to present to you our first street style look (The “perfect denim jumpsuit”, as styled and modeled by Estelle). We really hope this inspires you to experiment with fashion and not be afraid to stand out, because this is what gets you snapped up during Fashion Week.

Good luck xo

All Black in Scanlan & Theodore

I’m one for investing into timeless, comfortable and functional pieces, and Scanlan & Theodore has been one of my favourite go to Aussie Designer places for years. As much as I love vibrant colours and quirky street wear, I’m very much in love with the whole minimalist and all black aesthetic.

I’m a size 4-6, but believe it or not the silk blouse I’m wearing is a size 12 in the following images. I’m really liking the slight over-sized and slouchy look because it gives me versatility in the way I style it. I have styled the blouse in 2 ways by tucking it differently.

Here I have taken the front and twisted it and tucked it in my silk slouchy pants.

Here I have loosely tucked the front of the blouse into my pants, and pulled up the pants a little to give it a slouchy look. You have no idea how long I have been hunting for the pair a slouchy pants that looks good on petite women like me!!!! Finally I found my dream pair from Scanlan Theodore that actually drops well, and once again it’s so versatile.

Day 3 of Virgin Australian Melbourne Fashion Festival

The biggest highlight of day 3 was seeing and capturing Eva Longoria (L’oreal Ambassador) alongside Megan Gale. She was stunning from top (sporting a new fringe bang) to bottom (white Christian Louboutin heels). After Eva Longoria and Megan Gale (and their entourage) had their photos taken and leave for the VAMFF runway shows, I couldn’t believe I uttered out loud, “I love you Eva”. She was gracious, that she turned and thanked me. *starstruck* That really made my day!

Here are the highlights from day 3 of VAMFF. Enjoy x
