If the fantastical and sometimes unwearable creations of MBFWA opener Romance Was Born are not for you – rest assured, you are not alone. Their boldness is always inspiring, but an RWB piece will only hang in a particular kind of wardrobe. As Tim Blanks so succinctly wrote for Vogue Australia, “discipline a superpower, and you'll usually get more from less."

It was the dual subtlety and power of this Ginger & Smart ensemble that made me look twice.
All the attitude of a technicolour superhero effortlessly rendered in lush, monochromatic tailoring.
From its sixties origins, the shift dress has never had a bigger moment than right now. And the brocade pattern seems instantly fresh in white on white.

But the blazer is the truly swoon-worthy piece here. As we have come to expect from Ginger & Smart, the fabric falls just so. Also, please note: refusing to put your arms through the sleeves is the way to wear a jacket. Don’t let boyfriends or mothers tell you otherwise. #chictothemax. (Get the reference?)

As for the phat blue hoops and stack of bangles – you can take it or leave it. As long as I can have the shoes (an ankle and toe strap is all I need); a lesson in modern simplicity.

Firstly, Zanita is clearly stunning. Blessed genetics aside, this outfit is not only simple and stylish, but also honest.

Leather panels make that jacket deliciously luxe, but what I love most is that she is wearing Kmart boyfriend jeans. Yes, that’s honest.
If it looks great (which it does), then off to fashion week you strut.

Hey elleziebellz!
How fantastic is it? I'm glad neck adornment has moved past that weird "bejewelled bib" phase.
The necklace is by Estelle Deve.

Isn't it divine, Cindy?
I think it has already dropped in stores, too. Not that I'm rolling in the cash for it...
