We Are Not The Same, I Am a Martian

Hello Earthlings. It’s me, Krystal Glynn, bearing gifts from the likes of  Dion Lee, Therese Rawsthorne, Sass & Bide, Carla Zampatti, Michael Lo Sordo and Prada. I’ve come all the way from Australian publication Madison Magazine to be with you, NASA astronauts. I hope you don’t mind that my photographer Nick Scott came along. Fashion editor Nicole Bonython-Hines provides my sleek, futuristic look on the outside, but I’m an alien at heart.

DESIGNER TO KNOW: Therese Rawsthorne

Make the 24 hour trip down under and you are bound to find some fabulous fashions. With Australia’s Fashion Week recently coming to a close, Australian designers hit the net, showing off some impressive collections. One of my favorites was Therese Rawsthorne, an Aussie designer with youthful romance pouring out of her sewing machine. Having worked for Issey Miyake and Oswald Boateng, Rawsthorne returned to London where she founded the label Youth World, eventually naming it after herself. Her Fall 2009 collection combines intricately tailored masculine pieces with feminine naturals. While pieces remain relatively simple, Victorian inspirations, like ruffled sleeves, high collars and bodice tops and dresses.
