Apart of my Fruche/MSFW Blogger Prize I got tickets to attend 'Art of the Cocktail Hour' held at the Town Hall before the show. Bringing the wifey Krystal, we attended the cocktail hour enjoying Cointreau Cocktails and Canapes in the Portico Room with a balcony overlooking Swanston street

The show began with a tres amazing animalistic performance by Phillip Adams' Balletlab (above). The show was opened then by MSFW face Sophie Van Den Akker. The series show featured Gala looks from Arthur Galan AG, Aurelio Costarella, nicolangela, Rachel Gilbert, Thurley, Yeojin Bae, Gwendolynne, Richard Nylon Millinery and Christine. The tres amazing Top model Alice Burdeu walked in the show (a massive favourite of mine). Love love love!

Trends I picked up from the designers included bright colours, textures (notably from sequins, feathers and pleating) and Lace.
