Myer winter collection blows into stores

WITH a gust of snowy white wool and light showers of sequins, winter arrived in Melbourne.

Myer's autumn/winter collections launch declared the sunny neon colours that dominated catwalks in spring and summer banished in favour of black, white and metallic tones.

The ready-to-wear retail show favoured sharp lines and crisp tailoring.

Almost every designer who sent models down the catwalk had leather incorporated into their winter look.

Maticevski led the charge with structured leather bodices, embellished black leather peplums and panels of sequins.

When it came to the leather creations, the palette was predominantly black, but cream, white and browns appeared too.

Feminine-shaped peplums were prominent, but they didn't dominate as they have the past two seasons.

Staples for winter fashionistas will be lace and lashings of leather.

Designer Arthur Galan said the 2013 look would be characterised by blended textures.

"There will be lots of leather mixed with woolens, leather mixed with knits, it's definitely all about black and leather," he said.

"Black and white is absolutely the key for this season."

Many of the guests, designers and models wore items to be featured on the catwalk and strutted a black carpet gauntlet before the show.

Myer ambassador Jennifer Hawkins arrived wrapped in a black and gold cylindrical Manning Cartell dress.

She predicted that as summer shifted into autumn, the colours would cool with the climate.

"It's calming down a little bit," Hawkins said.

"There's lots of embellishment around, lots of lace, I love lace; leather, lace and peplums."

The gold strip motif of her dress was repeated later in Manning Cartell's collection.

It appeared in a short shift dress, pants and a voluminous top.

Manning Cartell's catwalk offering was brief but chic.

Cherry was blended with gold and black leather for a rich, warm look.

Designer Leona Edmiston followed Hawkins down the black carpet declaring jewel colours would rule winter wardrobes.

"We're showing printed silks tonight, all different prints, lots of different shapes in intense jewel tones: deep sapphires and lovely rubies," she said.

"The peplum's still in because it is very flattering, but not from us tonight."

Edmiston's winter collection silhouette was slinkier than other designers on show, being made-up of wrap dresses, shirt dresses and caftans.

Another Myer ambassador, Rebecca Judd, said winter was more about berries, greens and lots of gold.

Dressed in a black, sheer Sass and Bide frock, she echoed leading designers Arthur Galan and Wayne Cooper in saying black leather leggings were the key piece for winter.

Designer Yeojin Bae said there would be pops of colour in her collection, but, at the moment, she was in love with cream.

"Good tailoring, lots of cream and lace and a beautiful floral print," was how she described her collection.

The majority of the style set nominated black leather leggings as the number one item for winter but their own wardrobe choices suggested capelets, and swing-coats would be popular.

Despite not appearing on the catwalk, Sass and Bide's "This is Pop" capelet - half cape and half coat - was the most popular item of the night.

It was worn by five people attending the show, including Sass and Bide designer Sarah-Jane Clarke.
