VAMFF 2018 David Jones Backstage Highlights

After a super long vacay in Hong Kong, I’m so glad to be back on the fashion week scene, this time at the back of house capturing my favourite runway looks at VAMFF. Tonight’s runway show was presented by David Jones; and hair and makeup by Priceline Pharmacy. This season was all about the patterns, hound tooth and plaid blazers, and pointy boots. If you were to ask me what’s my favourite, I would have to say the hound tooth long coat with this beautiful gathered back by Bianca Spender, and Jessica Gomes’s heavenly floral shirt and flared silk pants! I also loved the caramel and electric blue colour combination. Ok it’s your turn, tell me what is yours!

Pacific Werribee Opening Weekend Street Style (Part 1 of 2)

Pacific Werribee, the new go-to destination in Melbourne’s West for fashion, lifestyle, hospitality and entertainment.

 

I am honoured to be a part of the relaunch of Pacific Werribee Shopping Centre as their official Street Style Photographer, where I spent the opening weekend spotting and shooting all my favourite street style looks.

It’s been over a year since I last visited, and I was in awe by how much the Pacific Werribee has changed; for the better! The mall has undergone a major building face lift, including a new website, branding, and a new gorgeous Brand Ambassador, Lauren Phillips. Their key anchor department store, Myer has expanded three times its previous size; and 30 more new retailers were added to its reportaire such as: Sheike, Mecca Maxima, Seed Heritage, Peter Alexander, Glassons, Bardot, Cotton On, Swarovski and Kikki K to name a few. What’s even more exciting is that the mall now houses two global fashion houses such as H&M and Uniqlo, and more eateries within the new Urban Diner area. I’ve also discovered a trendy barber + coffee shop called “Grindstone Barber & Baristas” which had great coffee and hipster, good-looking barbers.

Well do you know what that means for all the Melbourne West-Siders? You don’t have to drive into the city to “fight” and pay for a carpark, when H&M or Uniqlo and all the popular Australian labels at Pacific Werribee are just around the corner! It is definitely the new go-to, one-stop destination for all your fashion, lifestyle, hospitality and entertainment needs.

Happy shopping everyone! xx
