jumper: made by me, t-shirt: Calvin Klein, jeans: vintage

Our class finished certificate two in fashion design and technology early, so our lecturer suggested that we make something we have always wanted to make and he would help us make it. Immediately my brain started spinning with a million different things I had seen from the runway from Balenciaga, Givenchy to Rick Owens. Immediately I remembered seeing this cropped sweater from the mens Givenchy show in fall and spring, then I thought that it would be a perfect layering piece for winter. Immediately I looked for black fabric that would be warm enough to wear for winter because it wouldn't be a full jumper so fabric choice was essential for the practicality of this garment. A week and a half later this was the end result. At the moment it is still too warm to wear but when winter comes around, this will definitely be my winter staple piece for the season.

Sitting behind my computer screen crying because I could not attend Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia this year, I had to stalk every blog that I followed and watch all the collections online and from what I saw it looked amazing and I could only imagine what it would have been like sitting in one of the shows (especially Camilla and Marc, Dion Lee and Ellery) but I was also amazed by the street style that was photographed from the entire week and these are my favourites. all pictures are credited and linked above. Hopefully next year I will be able to attend.
