Flares Rule at China Heights Gallery

And so too does the group show of works on paper which of course was why I was there. I did however manage just this shot of (off duty model) Alys in her fabulous black flares which have ruched themselves into something of a Flamenco look, and there's nothing wrong with that! There was also a lovely red haired young woman wearing a lime green(ish) pair of flares and top as well, the flare was split and remained east-west flared! Unfortunately my social speed was not up to the task to manage pictures of both pants suits; maybe next time; till then its time to dig out some flares of your own.

Rappers + Streetwear Labels Finesse UK & Solemates Apparel @ NYFW

Things that struck me the most with Bracé fashion parades at New York Fashion Week. You hear a lot of talk about using models of different body sizes and shapes and of different races.. but you don't often see it. With the Bracé shows you certainly did. And something else I was not expecting was performances between runway shows; giving the night a bit of a cabaret feel along with the fashion runway experience. I liked that. It kept us all entertained as the next designer readied themselves for their show; along with some of the models who were walking for more than one designer, as you do, change their look - so some entertainment during the break is certainly a good idea. I start out with shots of singer/rapper Xavier who performed before the Finesse UK runway show, then rapper Elijah XIII who entertained us before the Solemates streetwear showcase. So here's the shots, and there are more streetwear designers and performers to come so don't forget to follow Street Fashion Sydney on Facebook Twitter or Instagram.
