Following on from the July '09 story which harked back to the style and sophistcation 'of the golden age of glamour', the other Australian Vogue story which rendered me speechless (a hard thing to do) was the March 2010 Bondi story featuring the stunning Abby Lee Kershaw. Entitled The Life Aquatic, this story was described as '... a powerful new direction in fashion: scuba chic. Go for electirc-bright, surf-inspired block colours, body-con tube dresses, graphic prints and modern silhouettes.' This really is a jaw-dropping brilliant story and definitely was a huge influence.
Basically I have two conflicting influential themes...one is uber stylish south of france look while the other is a sort of anything goes, care free aussie coastal life inspired look. How to bring it together in a cohesive manner?
Desperate to combine the two I focused on more research. I could see that getting to a point where I could begin designing was a quite a way off.
