Latest jewels and metals

For many years, the fashion centres of the world have been accepted as London, Paris, and New York, and rightfully so. These cities naturally represented trends in fashion due to their being the travel and commercial centres that were most often noticed in the media. Yet the rich and diverse fabric of Australian life has become more and more the focus of those with an eye for innovation and style.

This can be explained by the mix of native history and modern influences that constantly blend in the Australian culture. The incredible array of colour and geographical wonders that abound across this vast continent and the islands surrounding it are at the very foundation of this current trend. The strong hold that the Maori and Anunga cultures have held on the character of Australia are reflected in the variety of textiles and rainbow colours that have attracted the attention of world-renowned designers since the 1980s. More recently, local designers such as Collette Dinnigan, Rebecca Paterson, and Peter Morrissey have caught the attention of the world’s fashion eye with their unique styles that have been inspired by indigenous cultures.

The influence of the old and new has also been recognized in the fashion world, due to the innovative creations of Carla Zampatti, Wayne Cooper, Michelle Jank, and Martin Grant. The Australian Fashion Laureate award recently honoured Sydney designer Akira Isowaga for her cross-cultural sense of fashion. The trendy influence of Hollywood and the new film generation can be seen in the creations of such notable up-and-coming designers as Ksubi, Sass and Bide, and Willow.
