Dyspnea Spring 2015

The downside to fashion week in Australia is that even when a designer does create a perfect collection, they receive only a fraction of the recognition they deserve. It's a real tragedy in every sense of the word. Maybe if Dypsnea had shown their runway collection at New York these talented babes could have achieved world domination by now. I thought there would be a noticeable spike in interest after their runway show finished streaming, but I guess not. Although not wearable and definitely not for the faint of heart each piece is a thing of beauty. It's hard for me not to get excited when there's so much fluff and marabou going on, as embellishments of the clothes themselves as well as the boudoir kitten heels. Although this collection is not yet available for pre-order there are a range of gorgeous pieces encompassing sheer, sequins and fur. Basically Dyspnea have everything you need to stay fabulous for any occasion, preferably during the warmer seasons.

My mum said this outfit was "too fluffy". Little does she know there's no such thing. I felt so good wearing this outfit but some people cannot deal with fluffy white earrings. I wore this outfit to the Melbourne Art Book Fair held at the National Gallery of Victoria, and even there some people were staring. I don't mind though because I got a signed copy of Minna Gilligan's limited edition book, Poems, Prayers and Promises. I also got to hang out with some rad babes I have met through various unofficial Rookie Mag events and got to catch up with them. Given that I've been so busy this year with my research I think it's forced me to make time for the things I truly enjoy. Which means that I'm busy all the time but I think that's when I'm happiest, even though I sometimes collapse into bed because I'm so exhausted.

I don't like to smile unless I have a reason

I feel like this is the outfit Daria Morgendorffer would wear in order to convince her school counselor that she is a quote unquote, NORMAL TEENAGER.
