These past few days I’ve been learning and reporting from Fashion Exposed, Melbourne’s annual fashion trade event hosted at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. It’s been a great privilege to hear fashion insiders talk about exciting trends occurring in the digital space, interesting consumer behaviour, alluring key trends for Autumn/Winter 12/13, and to meet new designers!
[spoiler title=”中文版”]这几天我从墨尔本的服装购买展览会Fashion Exposed学到了很多。我非常荣幸能听到服装业界的人物谈论关于时尚顾客的心理学，他们的网用习惯，和下个冬季的服装特色，最棒的是认识新的服装设计师！[/spoiler]
One Melbourne label I’m became besotted with is A Part of Me, the winner of Debut‘s Best Apparel Award. Melbourne designed and made, by Kate Brook (who looks exactly like a friend of mine) and Kajsa Kvernmo, their sweet collection is not only adorable, wearable, sustainable, but it is a cut above. The perfect balance of childlike innocence and masterful tailoring, A Part of Me consists of modern silhouettes in exquisite shapes, luxurious fabrics and rich autumn palettes. Think structured shift dresses, silk button-up shirts, felted tops in wool and silk, pleated leather skater skirts, and my favourite, the black leather shirt. I chat to the designers about the origins of A Part of Me and their collection. (This is my first ever video interview, so I apologize beforehand for 1)my Left index being in the way 2)my incessant verbal agreements and 3)uncontrollable giggles). Enjoy!
[spoiler title=”中文版”]我特别爱上其中一个墨尔本的服装品牌A Part of Me‘译：我的一部分’，Debut的最佳服装奖获奖者。Kate Brook 和Kajsa Kvernmo，一对可爱的女设计师，她们的衣服都是墨尔本制作的。不但漂亮，容易穿，对环境友好，而且裁缝技巧很深。她们的衣服带着烂漫的童心，又含着高超的剪裁技能。我的一部分衣服由现代的剪影，精致的形状，豪华的面料和丰富的秋色制作。这个系列中有结构性的连衣裙，真丝领头衬衫，由羊毛和丝绸创作的上衣， 皮革的溜冰式短裙，还有我最爱的，黑皮夹衬衫。我问这对设计师她们品牌和名字来源，她们说因为她们很爱民间和童话故事，而且希望她们所设计的衣服能成为穿者的一部分。这是我的第一部录像博客，请大家多多指教，对不起录像里我的手指堵住了一点镜头，我一直点头赞成她们所说的每一句话，和我停不住的笑声。。。[/spoiler]
