One more sleep until the Melbourne Cup.. Until then, here are some beautiful pictures for inspiration.

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious. But above all, black says this – I don’t bother you – don’t bother me.

Valeska Jasso Collado

On the lead up to the World of Wearable Arts Show in New Zealand, I am feeling inspired by Valeska Jasso Collado’s colourful, avant-garde collection of wearable structures.. The range of garments produced for the event is simply breathtaking, as the rules of competition mean that anything that is in any way wearable can find a place on stage, so long as it is original, beautifully designed and well-made. This also results in garments that are constructed from an extraordinary array of materials.

Using foam as the base, the designer innovatively crafted latex coatings to create a modern glossy, liquid-look. The combined sheets of material were then sliced and folded into wearable, abstract surfaces that merge the 1980s design group’s iconic pastel color palette and fresh peek-a-boo brights.

Simple steel screws and washers link the pieces together, to create exaggerated A-line skirts, framing circular fans around the upper body and voluminous pants with pockets.

High Tea at the Hilton

This may sound peculiar, but it has been quite nippy lately for Australia! This afternoon, the weather turned around, and for the first time it felt like Spring – perfectly timed for my beautiful best friend’s bridal shower. I decided to have a little bit of fun with my outfit with some clashing prints.
