SAFW S/S 2011 DAY 3: Clive Rundle

Trust Clive Rundle to inject a dose of drama into the SAFW proceedings. For a brand that once dubbed a collection 'Marie Antoinette returns to Paris after attending a lesbian wedding in Africa', one has come to expect a certain cheeky quirkiness. With this collection, there's the occasional "Who would wear that, and where to exactly?" feeling with a number of pieces, but there's also a surprising amount that's wearable, fun and different. If you're looking for cookie-cutter fashion, Clive Rundle probably isn't your man, but if you're after a conversation starter, you've come to the right place. We're big fans of his treatment of the sheer trend, and the black pleated dress with embroidered yellow flowers was a unanimous favourite. Anything stand out for you? Are you a Clive Rundle kind of girl?

SAFW S/S 2011 Day 2: Lunar

Lunar's collection was refreshingly diverse -- quite a bit of everything, from floor-length numbers in jewel tones, to a touch of the romantic with crochet, a safari chic detour, and an abundance of print, white and metallic pieces. Think of it as the quintessential ultra feminine wardrobe filled with everything from jumpsuits to summer jackets. An instant passport to cool and understated chic.
