MBFWA 2015 Ellery Runway

April 13, 2015Karen Woo Leave a Comment

Designer Kym Ellery brought back the 27 year old supermodel Gemma Ward in yesterday’s Ellery runway spectacle, after she abandoned modelling for quite some time since the death of Heath Ledger. It was extremely exciting to see the return of Gemma Ward, and officially opening the show in a stunning black silk piece with bell sleeves and bottoms. The Australian Ballet made a debut and even an angry neighbour stormed onto the runway just as Kym took a bow.

Anyway I loved the entire 70s inspired collection featuring long vests, coats, fur and bell bottom pants.

Here are my favourite pieces from the runway so which one are yours?

Tonight was the sensational return of Gemma Ward taking the Australian Fashion stage to officially open Ellery’s 70s inspired runway show. Besides the show, street style was at its finest with international guest bloggers, shooters and fashionistas in layers, lace, and bell bottom pants and bell sleeves.

Here are the highlights…

MBFWA2014 Leroy Nguyen: The Blue Rose

May 20, 2014Karen Woo Leave a Comment

Leroy Nguyen was inspired by the fairytale of the blue rose from Pan’s Labyrinth – the impossible quest to attain immortality. Leroy’s range and the runway show itself was about taking us on a journey of structured garments (yet sexy and slick), one toned looks and then gradually introducing subtle prints to exaggerated prints and then ending it with beautiful colour blocking. What’s your favourite?

It was Leroy Nguyen’s first solo runway show at MBFWA2014, so it was a huge privilege to capture the excitement and talent that went behind the scenes. It was all about femininity, wet hair look, dusty soft make-up, beautiful colour blocking, subtle prints to structured garments, white flat sandals and even blue roses!

A Day in a life of a MBFWA Street Style Photographer

May 8, 2014Karen Woo Leave a Comment

I had the pleasure of befriending, sharing food and working alongside with such a friendly, talented and hard working bunch of artists – fashion bloggers and street style photographers at MBFWA. We were always on the go, on guard to snap up the next fashion forward person; sometimes hidden and crouching in the most awkward positions; squeezed out of the media pit; and running on empty stomaches. Thankfully I had my best friends, a pair of Adidas sneakers and “What Would Karl Do” tee to keep me comfy and cool.
