There were handbags, jewellery and shoes in Mimco's LMFF (L'Oreal Melbourne fashion festival) show, no doubt, but forgive me if I confess that I barely noticed them. You may be unsurprised to discover that instead I was captivated by the clear plastic coats (follow the link if you're not already familiar with my obsession). There was even a flouncing circle skirt in clear plastic. My only question is, do Mimco actually sell these? I've never seen them in store. If they were merely used to accompany the accessories, perhaps they would better have been served by something understated, something less attention-grabbing. If they do sell them in store, well I have only one thing to say about that: clear plastic coat, here I come.
Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
