Ever since a trip to Australia nearly three years ago, I quickly grew fond of all things Aussie — food (excluding Vegemite), accents, exotic animals and of course fashion. It started with some boutiques I enjoyed shopping at and it turned into a full on obsession with stalking Australian designers. And with Fashion Week Australia coming to a close last week, I thought I’d take this opportunity to talk about some designers I especially fancied for Fall 2013.
After 7 straight days of shows, presentations, meetings and parties (which happen to be all over NYC), I’m more than ready to sit still for a few minutes (preferably without shoes on) and get back to my real life in Chicago. Not like I didn’t have fun (because the bags under my eyes prove that I did) but there’s only so much a girl can take…but because I’m not fashion WEAK, it’s all worth it in the end.
Yes, fashion week is still happening. The blisters on my feet are fresh, the bags under my eyes are darker than ever but hey, I’m still moving. Yesterday was fun because in the midst of all this Fall madness, I got to have a little Spring moment…and no, I’m not talking about the SS13 crowd print dress I got at the Proenza store yesterday (I could’t help myself).
Between meetings and shows, yesterday was one of those days where I was in a different neighborhood every hour. It was fun, but when time is of the essence it’s also a little nerve-wrecking. Not going to lie, I was kind of proud I made it to everything I was supposed to…and on time. Snaps for me. Okay anyway, first show of the day was at Milk Studios…
Every fashion week I get one “break day” where I only have a few shows…and I dedicate the rest of the day to Opening Ceremony (I realize I do have my priorities straight). Yesterday was one of those days and it felt damn good.
