Fashion Week. It's a wrap!

Mercedes Benz Fashion week is a treat I look forward to each year.

I love the beautiful fashion on the runway and the gorgeous people I'm fortunate enough to meet for my stories. When it comes to "street style" anything goes at fashion week and no one is there to judge, only celebrate each other's individual, quirky, beautiful style! 

This year I was lucky enough to interview an Angel! In the (beautiful) flesh, Victoria's Secret Angel, Alessandra Ambrosio seems strong, natural and healthy. Refreshingly, she's more toned than super-skinny.  The Brazilian model and mum of two (can you believe it!) told me the key to "sexy" is confidence.. "And with confidence you can take over the world!".  It's working for her!
Ruby Rose is the gorgeous face of Maybelline. I wanted to grab a coffee and continue our chat about dewey natural makeup, how it takes sooo much longer to "look natural"  and  skinny models- for the record Ruby is sick of the negativity around fashion week and says journalists should support Australian fashion by actually focussing on it during fashion week.

Good call, but seeing a very skinny Cassi Van Dungen walk for Alex Perry was quite shocking and sad and shouldn't be accepted. 

As for Ruby, my cameraman and I fell in love! She's beautiful inside and out. A girl I also admire so much for her anti-bullying advocacy.

These Sydney sisters are the ones to watch. The girls grew up in Edgecliff so their designs are very "Sydney", so sophisticated but very cool and fresh. Great for a casual weekend look or something stylish for work.  Tessa and Beth are smart business girls who use social media in a big way for their marketing. Backstage, the models taught me catwalk and I taught them television!

There is something regal about fashion stalwart Carla. She's been in the fashion game for more than four decades. Her designs are investment pieces, but don't be mistaken thinking Zampatti is  for the "mature woman". Her new collection is full of brights, playsuits, faux fur and sheer or peek-a-boo sexy dresses. 

A big thank you to the team at Ten Wardrobe, Hair & Make-up and also Sheike for dressing me for Fashion Week.
