Dion Lee


Last week I said I was going to do some posts about my favourite Australian designers as a buying student I am always looking for amazing garments and designers etc so I thought I would share some of my favourites with you as you may never of heard of them yourself. In addition I am busy with uni atm as I have 2 presentations - one next week and one the week after, however will try and get some new outfit posts shot this week and have that to add soon! So anyway here is the second Australian designer who I love, he is called Dion Lee, I first came across him when I watched Lara Bingle's reality show called Being Lara Bingle (don't know who I am talking about check out this post here). From then on I followed him on instagram and saw all the catwalk show images each season. He reminds me of an Australian Alexander Wang - his garments are quite sportswear chic but also have amazing structure and experiments with silhouette - a lot of his collections look like they were inspired by the sea which could very much be taken from the typical Australian lifestyle of surfing as an inspiration. I very much want all of the clothes he makes and one day I WILL buy and wear his amazing clothes or even walk his show ;) 

Be sure to have a look at his collections https://www.dionlee.com/collections

Christopher Esber



Most fashion blogs are all about outfit posts and tumblr inspiration but as a fashion buying student part of my course is mood boards and ofcourse fashion buying means you need to have your eye on different designers you would want to buy! I did a post about one of my style inspirations last month - Lara Worthington here, who is Australian so thanks to a bit of stalking of her as I do I found some amazing Australian designers that she wears. I decided to put together some mood boards for each designer and to open your eyes as readers to some designers you may not of heard of before. To begin with I start off with Christopher Esber, founded his brand is Sydney in 2010 and in such a short few years has built a global reputation for his look of tailored, fresh, crisp, clean and beautiful pieces. In addition he has won a whole lot of awards including Vogue Italia's Most Talented Designer 2015.

In my opinion his clothes are an amazing take on transforming mens tailoring into the woman's silhouette and making sure that masculine look is still catered for. Very sophisticated and contemporary - they are all very simply but have amazing shape and texture. He is redefining minimalism! His designs are so relaxed which makes them easy to wear yet you would definitely stand out in a crowd and be praised on your outfit. I WANT EVERY PIECE!!!

In the designer's words: “I design for a woman who loves fashion but she is not willing to surrender herself to it,” says Esber. “Coming from Australia there is a sense of ease and the undone about what I do. Even if something is more conceptual, there is always a feel of release to it.”

Autumn colours makeup by Gabriella Floyd Makeup





On some of my last posts I was wearing makeup done by an amazing makeup artist called Gabriella Floyd. Here is the video I recorded while she did it, it is not really a tutorial it is more of just a video however you could definitely copy the look by watching the video and using the products that are listed below! The actual makeup took about 2 hours to do which sounds insane but as a model I am used to it as on shoots that is how long it takes everybody! I wish I could look like this everyday and have my own personal makeup artist, I could be just like the Kardashians haha. Anyway please watch the video and enjoy, give me some feedback as we think we will do a proper tutorial next! It is a makeup look inspired by Autumnal colours which is perfect for this season!

Keys to the fashion industry: iD magazine explores the history of British fashion





I am glad everyone liked my post yesterday about British Vogue's mini series on Youtube so I wanted to also post about one of the mini series on Youtube iD magazine has done. First of all iD magazine is my favourite magazine as it is all about our generation, the up and comers, the streetstyle etc so when I saw they were doing a Youtube series about the history of British style tribes I was so excited! There are 8 episodes in total, all about 12 minutes and they talk about all the different fashion tribes that have happened through British history and how they have influenced fashion.



Being a fashion buying student, one part of my job is to be a trend spotter which is ofcourse by looking at streetstyle, social media, celebrities etc but fashion also repeats itself so looking back the history and the past trends always helps - the flare jeans are back in these season and also the green Mod jackets (Kanye defs brought that back in). Because of all those factors watching this series was so interesting and inspirational again like the British Vogue one, in addition you realise fashion does a whole circle! Enjoy!

Keys to the fashion industry: British Vogue's mini Youtube series





I have now started uni and am starting to enjoy it but it is ofcourse different and takes some getting used to, along with all these new people, new places, new teachers and the fact this is the key to my career! AHHHHH! Dw it really isn't as bad as it sounds - it is exciting and I am learning lots, I am actually really excited to start doing the assignments and group tasks.



Many people always ask me all the time, what I am doing, where do I go to uni, what am I studying etc and also how to get into the fashion industry. Yes I can easily give you advice but it would be to do with my own experiences not give advice in a business or technical way, therefore I wanted to show you guys this. I am sure many of you have already been watching the mini series British Vogue has created on Youtube but if you haven't OMG click on this video, watch it and watch the other episodes.



Alexa Chung is the presenter and she is showing all different aspects of the fashion world, some you may already know about, others you won't however you may think you know about some yet this series will show you different. This video I have attached personally means something to me as I am studying Fashion Buying so it was amazing to watch and listen and even learn! All you have to do is go on British Vogue's Youtube channel and if you want to keep up to date with the episodes be sure to subscribe to them!



It is amazing how technology has transformed the world and fashion, in addition we can actually get to see inside a world that is hard to get access too just through your laptop screen or phone! Thank you British Vogue for doing this, it is very inspirational!
