Melbourne Fashion Week : Who runs the Emporium streetstyle runway?

Just when I thought I’d done it all, street style, backstage, and the media pit, I never dreamt I’d actually be running on the runway until now!

At the Melbourne Fashion Week Emporium Street Style Runway, I wasn’t just behind the camera, I was in the show. Running alongside models, weaving through the catwalk, camera in hand, and shooting in real time with my Nikon Z6 III, talk about a photographer’s workout!

It was such an unforgettable moment, part photographer, part runway act, giving my 100% Woo energy and rubbing shoulders with the legendary crew, including Suleiman. By the end, I was definitely puffed from all the running, but every second was pure joy.

A massive thank you to Karinda, Josh, Lizzie and Amelia from Moth Designs for this incredible experience.

We did it!!! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Hope you enjoyed the show. Until next time, stay cool! 😎

The Opening Ceremony of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2014

I will miss my winter staples: boyfriend coats, oversized cardigans and cow neck sweaters. I just packed away all my winter clothes to make way for a new season of spring/summer ensembles, so I’m looking towards Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2014 (MSFW2014) Shop for lots of style inspiration, and tonight the runway show did not disappoint.

 

With a tinkle of a bell, Jessica Hart, the MSFW2014 ambassador opened the night. The runway showcased a range of spring/summer collection of beautiful soft pastel, metallic pastel, jeweled millinery pieces, and my favourite look of the day was…

I must add, the floral arrangements and the way it was styled as an accessory on the runway show was incredibly clever.

To sum up the night, here’s the highlight short film I shot on my new Samsung Galaxy 5.
