L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival - Runway 4.

 I was literally on the edge of my seat on Monday night as the lights brightened, the music started pumping 

and Dion Lee's name popped up on the giant screens. 

He opened the show with a lot of bright orange and blue, stunning geometrical prints and sophisticated tailoring.

Following Dion Lee was National Designer award winner, Christopher Esber, Gary Bigeni, 

Magdalena Velevska, Therese Rawsthorne, Josh Goot and Ellery. 

I had the most incredible time and thought that this years Vogue show was that liiittle bit better than last years show.

(Despite a few heart-wrenching moments of models loosing their heels mid-runway).

I really love and am so proud of what's coming out of Australian fashion.

Who was your favourite?

Mine was definately Dion Lee and Ellery.

Dion Lee | AW '12 LFW.

Dion Lee debut presentation at London Fashion Week.

The collection was inspired by the idea of 'breathing'. 

Specifically, taking inspiration from the lungs and the way the air moves through things, along with how the body responds to air. 

Vein-like structures were created, weaving them together, which gave this almost circulatory element to them.

Can you believe that the shoes are by Kanye West and the entire collection styled by Christine Centenera?

Just when I thought that the West x Centenera teaming was everything.

 Our Australian designers are doing so well overseas. So proud!

Dion Lee II Wants.

DION LEE II 'Ceremony' shift dress in flesh.

For the first time in a long time, I've actually found items of clothes that I'm so in love with and want so badly to be hanging in my wardrobe. 

Normally I go through each season feeling semi-depressed that there's just not many things that pull at my heart strings.

Of course it all comes at a time when I'm in intense saving mode for my NY trip mid year.

BOO.

You can pick up this lust-worthy Dion Lee piece at Desordre.

Shannon looks absolutely perfect in it, which makes it so much harder.

Dion Lee II 'Harness' Tank in quartz.

After spotting this on instagram posted by Jess from Tuula, it became way more apparent that I needed this tank.

Then as I signed into my facebook account, this was staring back at me posted by the Desordre team.

I'll take it as a sign.
