A time for classics
Around 50 women walked up the stairs and into the warmth of Ondina Studio last night, to enjoy an evening of the latest winter fashion. Our models Lauren, Belinda, and Ondina Studio client and special guest model for the evening, Catherine, showcased ways in which classic, quality pieces can add new life and value to your wardrobe. As the current global economic situation would suggest, never has there been a better time to invest in quality pieces that stand the test of both style and time, and the collection shown at Ondina Studio demonstrated this strength.
As Natalie Bridges, the editor of New Zealand fashion magazine Simply You, writes in the latest edition, ‘In this climate, it’s not what you spend, but how you spend it- and wear it- that matters.’ Ms Bridges also encourages a focus on ‘updating rather than entirely replacing your wardrobe’, and the versatility of key items that can be mixed and matched was shown at the Ondina Studio parade.
Current media is also making it clear that we are seeing a rise of the so-called ’slow fashion’ movement, which The Sydney Morning Herald recently described as ‘focusing on designs that will stay in fashion over several seasons and high-quality fabrics that are made to last.’ Adding sustainable items to work with what you already have in your closet, and knowing which trends will be worth investing in, create a wardrobe where the shift from quantity to quality will be both valuable and visible.
Military Style
One trend that is dominating this winter is the military style. This time, military influence does not refer to the dull khaki or camouflage of recent years, but to a structured, authoritarian silhouette. And it looks as though this trend is here to stay, as Australian Fashion week recently showed the same influences for the upcoming summer months.
Our latest winter fashion parade photos can be viewed at www.ondinastudio.com.au , where you can see examples of stylish, military inspired pieces, such as suits by George Gross and coats by Caractere.
