Vanishing Elephant: Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2013

As night fell on day three, of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2013....the cool kids, came out to play!  Vanishing Elephant's debut individual show was held at the Locomotive Workshop, and was certainly a show to remember.  The collection 'A Continuous New Beginning', consisted of effortless streetwear including tailoring, bold prints, floral, stripes, khaki, chambray, layering, button shirts, chinos, and my personal favourite.. the shark printed shirts.

Jayson Brunsdon: Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2013

Fashion Week isn't Fashion Week, without a little glamour!  Leave it to Jayson Brunsdon to create a collection epitomising glamour, elegance and femineity.  For his 10 year anniversary collection, titled 'Obsession', Jayson was inspired by the 'shapes and volumes of mid century couture', with particular attention to cinema.  The pieces have been designed as though every woman is a star of a film.  The collection consists of 45 looks created using stunning silk, sequin georgette, silk satin, floral jacquard, organza, crepe and lace.  The show was presented by Myer, and of course, Myer Ambassador Jennifer Hawkins, was seated front row.
Happy 10 years Jayson Brunsdon!
