MSFW Designer Series - the one with bare bodied boys

The weather bit hard last night, but nothing could dampen the mood of fashionistas attending night 4 of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week Designer Series. Baseball caps and bare bodied boys had me reminiscing of the hoods and back streets of New York City (only that I saw sailors instead of gangsters, being that it was June and 'Fleet Week' at the time! ;) The girls held their own with funky shades, sleek blond and black highlights, and sexy hem lines that varied in respect to the calibre of designers on show. Overall a unified production styled by Peter Simon Phillips, The Stars: FRIEND OF MINE, FROM BRITTEN P/L , LEOPOLD, LIMEDROP, NOBODY, STRATEAS.CARLUCCI, WHITE SUEDE

Plenty also from off the catwalk

Finally met MSFW resident blogger Alice, after a week of religiously following her twitter and post updates

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture. Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
