I’ve learned over the years of blogging that there’s very little for me to cover at fashion weeks here in Australia; especially the commercial ones. The few aesthetically-appropriate designers we have here that appeal to my style I would prefer to showcase independently of the hype of a fashion week. However I was recently coerced into attended a VAMFF runway last week, which I did mostly on the promise of getting to see some friends who were visiting for the event from interstate.

Edit Evening would say the pained expression on my face in this street style photo taken by the lovely Xiaohan Shen is a manifestation of my disdain for these fashion weeks; but actually it was just a windy night and my hair was whipping in my eyes, causing me to squint. Either way, it’s a pretty amusing contrast to the rest of the gallery full of smiling fashion-week-istas who all dressed for the occasion, whereas I’d come straight from work.
