RAFW 2010

Rosemount Australian Fashion Week rolled around pretty quickly this year. It still shocks me we're already 6 months into the year. There's a lot of designers I would like to congradulate on their efforts this season. There are far too many trends to mention that I plan on incorporating into my own wardrobe but one that caught my eye and won't leave my mind is luscious leather! I've always had a secret obsession with leather, the texture, the warmth, even the smell absolutely draws me in to the point where I have to have it! How could you not? This winter is all about the leather jackets, pants, shirts, skirts vests and even shorts teamed with a cute pair of tights. It's so classic yet edgy and will never ever date. As much as I love black and am hardly ever caught wearing anything but black, tan leather is a huge must have this season. Kate Sylvester literally deserves a round of applause for her a-line skirts, form fitting bodysuits, bomber jackets and hotpants all in smooth-as-silk tan leather. She also sent the models down the runway in socks and sandals, oversized neck ties and incorporated an array of pretty pastels. These masculine yet oh so feminine looks made my heart melt, congradulations Kate, you rocked my world.
