Street Runway Three – MFW

Melbourne Fashion Week

MFW

The organisers of Melbourne Fashion Week have struck a cord with the fashion set through their free street style runways. MFW Street Runway Three proved to be very popular, with seating packed to capacity at each of the two shows.

Here’s what we saw, through the lens of Zoe Kostopoulos.

Vincent Li “has not forgotten his Chinese roots that he combines with tenets of western fashion

Starting life in the vibrancy of Shanghai, China, Vincent Li trained as a dancer from a young age. He took the path into the technical world of IT from School but made the bold full circle of coming back to his true self by re-entering the quixotic world of the arts to design fashion and eventually launching his label in 2014.

Vincent’s passion and love for fashion is not just to create something new and amazing to wear but to capture the emotions and heart of the wearer. The designer’s personality is infused into every piece he creates.”

“After graduating from the Whitehouse Institute of Design in 2008, designer Samantha Gehrich decided to focus her creative talent on designing outerwear as a platform into the fashion industry.

Having long been influenced by her rural upbringing, Gehirch draws on Tasmanian wilderness as a strong inspiration of play and movement featured in every garment. Each style is imprinted with an element of Gehrich the designer’s quirky creative sense and this is reflected in details such as oversized collars, layered cuffs or the freedom of a trapeze cut.” – Melbourne Fashion Week

“Designer Jude Ng trained as a painter at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne and later went on to study fashion design at RMIT. His skills in fine art, fashion design and love of luxurious handcraft techniques and workmanship have evolved to create a fashion product which is completely unique.

Today, Ng utilises a combination of his fashion training and fine arts sensibility as the foundation  for his approach to making clothes. From the way he builds shapes and design lines on the body, to the way he chooses fabrications and styles the clothes together he approaches each process from the perspective of creating an original artwork which can be worn and appreciated by a wider audience than a painting hanging in a gallery.” -Melbourne Fashion Week
