No matter how much we try to love our rainboots and leather, winter in Australia is a sort-of sartorial moot point: We’re just not that into it.
So Sydney’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival, which wrapped up last week, serves as a double bonus. First, it delivers a chance to put your inner fashion freak on show for three whole days in August, celebrating and shopping the trends currently hitting stores. Second, those trends are spring/summer ones, meaning excitement levels are particularly amplified.
It’s little wonder that swimwear was the bright nylon jewel in the crown of this year’s event: Swim came thick and fast down the runways of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, and we’re veritable world champions when it comes to the important sport of bikini shopping. Here are five brands we’re dying to shop once things heat up.
