SHOW: Misha Collection – Resort 2017
LOCATION: The Runway, Carriageworks
DATE: May. 16
START TIME: 3PM
TOP INSTA LOOK: Slick center-part pony tails gave the show a fierce feminine edge, complementing the range of sexy looks equally at home on the back of any of Taylor’s Squad.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Show attendees were pleasantly surprised by the designer’s debut of ‘MISHA GOLD’, a high-end capsule collection designed and produced in Australia, with fabric sourced from Italy, Germany and Japan.
OFF PROBATION: Bella Hadid in a feminine black bodice-style teddy and lace skirt combination, teamed with suede booties.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: Hadid’s closing look, which featured a strapless blush corset-style dress with lace-up detailing, teamed with a matching wide-collared trench coat.
INSPIRED: By sultry Sydney summer nights and the deadly femme fatale that sleeks about within them, slaying vulnerable eligible gents in their wake.
POP CULTURE-NOD:
WEAR IT TO: Cocktails with J-Lo and the Kardashians at The Thompson Miami Beach, where your crew is sheltering from the incoming hurricane at the hotel’s speakeasy over Lychee Martinis while grooving to Jenny From the Block’s greatest hits.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “I can’t believe she’s getting paid $400,000 to open the show! That said, I’m only here to see her.” – on Hadid’s pay check to open and close the designer’s resort 2017 show. [Hadid later made headlines for swapping her hotel in Sydney’s CBD for the nearby The Old Clare, where a night in the penthouse costs $1,000].
SPOTTED: Kate Peck, Terry Biviano, Catherine, Sarah Ellen, Nikki Phillips, Anna Heinrich, Tash Sefton and Elle Ferguson.
COLOR WHEEL: Blush, pink, nude, bombshell black, and plenty of luminescent skin.
BEATS: Bella led her Misha Collection squad down the runway to the tune of Beyonce’s Formation, conjuring images of Swift’s Bad Blood crossed with the pop star’s fierce girl power mantra.
THE DOCKET: A myriad of sultry sheer, sleek and sensual pieces channeled the dress code for an upscale cocktail party held at a three-story townhouse on the Upper East Side, or a meeting with your editor at Nick & Tony’s at the Lincoln Center before catching a last-minute showcase by the New York City Ballet. Eveningwear and lingerie coexisted in the vampy collection, which channeled the enviable Bond girl look through lace, corsetry, fringing and sexy cut outs.
