Fashionistas were taken on a journey to a futuristic view of sustainable style at the first show of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. Friedrich Gray teamed up with MOMO Design to send models down the catwalk in sleek black scooter helmets. The collaboration reinforced the popularity of the fashionable and eco-conscious ‘two wheel movement’. Part Darth Vader, part Roman Holiday, 100 percent fashion forward.

Cult indie label Maise shunned Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and instead went for an off-program showing in a secret inner-city warehouse before the event’s official launch. Inspired by teen flicks from the late 80s and American high school culture, the label’s designer, Claire Greaves, and Sydney styling guru, Ms Fitz, had guests sitting in the bleachers with the venue decked out like a high school gym.

The collection saw models walking in basketball spiked heels to the sound of coach squealing whistles, wearing gridiron ready shoulder pads, pedal pushers, and athletic sweaters in a variety of varsity shades. One look at these pieces and you’ll be channeling your favourite high school character faster than you can accept the hot quarterback’s jacket.
