When it came to daring styles and avant-garde techniques, designers at Australia Spring/Summer 2012-2013 Fashion Week brought it. Not only were bright makeup, hair, and nails just about everywhere, but the real showstoppers proved to be the elaborate headpieces. See how the Aussies compare when it comes to beauty trends for warm-weather times.
While we may be in the midst of Spring's warm-weather wares here, Australia just kicked off its Spring/Summer 2012-2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week this week. Some of our Aussie favorites like Zimmermann, Bec & Bridge, and Alice McCall debuted their easy, breezy collections this week, and we're excited to see which trends will emerge victorious Down Under. So far, Ksubi presented an edgy mix of denim-and-leather ensembles, Whitney Port showed sweet separates with an LA girl sensibility, Romance Was Born opted for a bold David Bowie-meets-Peter Pilotto vibe, and designers Ginger & Smart and Magdalena Veleveska sent out cool neon pieces that put a refined spin on bohemian style.
