Romance was born
Says Miss Chris from the independent Australian fashion website Camarilla: ‘Right now, the Melbourne fashion world is out celebrating the latest residency – Romance was Born – at vibrant local boutique Alice Euphemia‘.
Romance was Born is regional Australian-ism meets glamour, dipping a nostalgic node to all things local. Let’s not be fooled, fashionistas, Alice Euphemia will not be leading us down a misguided path of lairy Ken Done styled 1980s faux paus. Rather, the limited residency features the prints of renowned Melbourne artist Del Kathryn Barton. ‘Aussie legends – the Dunlop Volley – are given a sparkling treatment. Think rock eisteddfod chic as these kids take over, creating an insane lounge room with a romantic vision’. This sounds like fun. I see gala-inspired pastel pink frilly frocks and Del’s patent wide-eyed innocent children occupying imaginary fantasy worlds of abstract patterns, foliage, native birds and rabbits.

Dear Del,
I have just returned from viewing the 07 Archibald’s and you entry really touched me as I saw my son looking back at me. The portrait was explained by one of the curator’s and described my son so completely. Are you planning on reproducing this particular portrait in the way of minature or post card as I would love to know where I could obtain one In anticipation Celia Black celiablack@bigpond.com

OUTRAGIOUS! Thursday 24 March 2011
This piece of art work, is very depressing.. seriously whats going on with the fashion world these days. ? From obese girls clamed to be curvey to this.. how outrageous.. its rediculas fashion should be wearable.. not just something to look at this is something that should stay out of our magazines and interent. What we wear describes us but if you ask yourself would you be caught wearing that in public.. im sure your answer would be NO. Iv never seen someone dress like this nor anything else iv seen out in the REAL world.
