A Trend to Watch?

You see what I did there.

Ha ha ha plonk. That was me laughing my head off.

And maybe you could team the belt with these shoes from Etsy seller Big Yellow Taxi.

But seriously kids, don't. It would be massive overkill.

Who dun it better?

Rosemount Australian Fashion Week seems to have sheer black sleeves with opaque cuffs coming out of its butthole. I like them all but it's Gail Sorronda's long cuffs and impeccable execution that really make me swoon.

Gary Bigeni (more a gathered sleeve than a cuff, I know. Don't be a narc.)

You're nothing but a pack of cards.

Alice Dellal is queen of all that is cool, so it's nice to see that several Australian designers have referenced her trademark coiffe in their shows at fashion week:

Arnsdorf

Australian Fashion Week. Wooooot?

Though I'm generally quite psyched for Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, I was pretty bummed to see camilla and marc's offering:

Admittedly I have no real reason to have high expectations of the label. I think I just want them to be good because I find the idea of a brother/ sister design team really sweet.

Nevertheless, and the cuteness of sibling creativity aside, it must be said that to take Balmain's Fall 09 collection as loose inspiration is one thing (and pretty much everyone is doing it at the mo.) To rip off pointy shoulders, metallics and distressed denim, however, seems a little schmucky:
