I meant to post these for you all yesterday, but I got home fairly late from seeing the Berlin Philharmonic play at the Sydney Opera House. I think that's worth a couple of paragraphs' spiel in itself!!! My jaw was on the ground the entire night (how embarrassment) and the orchestra and Sir Simone Rattle really were mind blowing.
Just like the beautiful AW10 collection of none other than Ms Rachel Gilbert (who you all know I love). I was lucky enough to go to the AW10 showing on Monday and the details, beading, sequins, and finesse had certainly stepped up into a new class of sophistication, but in a much more accessible way - especially given that, for the first time, Rachel did a Ready-to-Wear collection! The separates still had her amazing, shiny details, but also a lot of buttery leather (yummm) and browns, khakis and blacks. Physical restraint required, people.
Having said that, the gowns were, as always, absolutely stunning. Once you stare at the embellishments for long enough you go a bit cross-eyed, so needless to say I looked a bit stupid standing in the showroom! I loved that the cuts and shapes of all the dresses would suit so many body shapes - padded shoulders aren't out yet!
Way too much "AAAAH" and "I NEED THIS" for my own good.
Thanks so much to Charlie and Maz for having me - hope you all enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed squealing at the gorgeous collection :)
Rachel also recently launched an online store, so check it out HERE.
