Generally, when I think about Australian designers I think bright colours and playful, trendy silhouettes, which I admit is kind of silly since I’ve featured plenty of Aussie designers who don’t really fit that mold. I am not going to lie though when I say I was surprised by the relaxed maturity of the brother/sister duo designed Alpha60. Maybe it’s my age, but I find myself increasingly looking for clothing that doesn’t make me feel like some sort of youth trend victim. This label appeals to my old lady ( ha ha ) sensibilities with a lovely balance of structure, draping, and clever prints.

For the several years I’ve been following Maria Cornejo, I’ve come to appreciate the consistency of her vision. So even though I’ve posted about her plenty of times previously, it’s been a little while and I wanted to post again. Cornejo’s pieces are always so wonderfully draped and classic. She’s gotten pretty well known in the past few years, but that fortunately hasn’t resulted in the dilution of her work. I quite like the ocean inspired colours and patterns in her latest S/S 2010 collection
