Wearing bright, clashing colours head-to-toe will generally work. Add a huge must-have “It'' shoe that is extremely difficult to navigate. (In years past it used to be an “It'' bag, but that disappeared. Too easy for the masses I guess.) Incorporate garments from Alexander Wang or Givenchy. Or sport a weird headpiece. That might do it.
In fact, wear anything you like. The shows have become a fashion safari – if it moves, someone will photograph it.
Make sure you're always on the mobile though, so it looks like you have a proper job."
It almost sounds like a journos vs. bloggers jibe. Clements has, in my opinion, been downright fearless in commenting on some sticky issues recently. And I admire it.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2012: Intentions
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia kicked off to a stylish start in Sydney on Monday, and I’ve been left positively green-eyed by the photos flooding through on instagram. True, the lead-up to the event was not without some drama – major names such as Dion Lee, Josh Goot and the ever-vocal Alex Perry pulling out of MBFWA, citing a misalignment with the international fashion schedule. But the production values of the fashion week shows seem to sharpen each year, which is exciting to watch (even from afar!)

For the rest of this fabulous week, I will be keeping it simple. My one favourite runway look, and my one favourite ‘street-style’ look. Although, let’s be honest. If it were me, my outfit would be less “spontaneous-street-style” and more “highly-styled-and-agonised-over.”
In fact, the very witty Vogue Australia editor Kirstie Clements took a tongue-in-cheek stab at street style while writing about MBFWA here:
