Hi Everyone,

First time ever to be doing Sydney Fashion Week and what an amazing day this was. I love Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks but believe me Sydney is right there on par with them.

Each show so inspiring and original it really fed the imagination. Street Style was fun too. The girls here may be in black but colour certainly showed it’s presence throughout the day. I just love the girl power this group showed – so very Antipodean!

Sneakers were worn everywhere. Gucci not quite as prevalent as in Europe but plenty of Prada to be seen. The trends seen in the streets earlier this year in Milan and Paris repeated themselves with an abundance of red boots /shoes, stripes, patterned suits, animal print and long trench coats.

Keep scrolling for 20 best street style looks from Sydney fashion week. HOT off the press looks from today!

All photos taken by me – I can be booked for photo shoots and events!

The high street fashion collaboration you need to know about | Stylist

Stylist meets British designer Richard Quinn as his new occasionwear collection drops at

The Queen has only ever attended one catwalk show. The event in question? Avant-garde designer Richard Quinn’s a/w 2018 collection, where Her Majesty witnessed the 29-year-old Central St Martin’s graduate’s striking foil gowns, thigh-high boots and floral biker helmets. Now, Quinn is adding a high-street collaboration to his CV. Stylist met the designer to chat all things Queen and Quinn.

How did the Queen’s visit affect your work?

The Queen moment opened up the brand to so many more people. We went from having 17 stockists after our first collection to more than 50 for our second.

How does it feel to have become so successful so fast?

When you show a brand at Fashion Week, people think it’s instantaneous, but I had been at St Martin’s for about seven years so to me it felt like a long time. We have had to really graft, but the speed at which we have had exposure – I feel really lucky.

Was it difficult to adapt your designs for the high street?

I wanted the collection to feel intrinsically mine. We designed it the same way we would for the runway but made subtle tweaks. It’s a different way of showing your work, which was exciting, but the basis was true to my brand.

Which is your favourite piece from the collection?

There is a pink rose jacket that pairs with a deep-red velvet long dress. I think of it as modern couture with a vintage feel.

Richard Quinn’s 12-piece collection is available online and in selected Debenhams stores .

Shop our pick of the bunch:

Wrap dress,

Off-the-shoulder dress,

Bandeau dress,

Yes it’s the last weekend of the 2018 edition of the Head On Photography Festival and the Festival Hub up at Sydney’s Paddington Town Hall. Which also means its the last chance to see the exhibitions there and the Semi Finalists on the big screen – including me – or my portrait of Vivienne to be more precise. So you will want to check those shows out ASAP. www.headon.com.au/

Vivienne in Lyon, Semi Finalist Head On Portrait Prize 2018

Also closing this weekend is Set Fire To the Sea Sinead Kennedy’s The Pool Grant 2018 Exhibition at special group gallery 270 Devonshire street, Surry Hills. Very interesting show I was hoping to review but have not been back since the opening – fingers crossed to make it back tomorrow!

Street Fashion Sydney had a great time at William Yangs’s exhibition launch at Maunsell Wickes but that show is now down; perhaps there is some work in the stock room; great show, there is always something to learn from viewing William Yang’s work. Congratulations William.
