Fashfest Daily Outfit: Opening Night

It is finally here! Opening night for the largest fashion event in Canberra’s social calendar, Fashfest 2014.

As this blog post goes live I am at Canberra International Airport, Fashfest HQ, and I am snapping my way through the collections of eight designers, all under the common theme of the night “The Artist”.

I think what I am wearing is appropriate for the theme of the first night of Fashfest, “The Artist”. We’ll see how others feel in turn I guess.  I’m wearing:

Blue and silver sequined hoodie – Slickitup.com
Blue oxford cloth button-down shirt – Polo Ralph Lauren, thrifted
Black satin cheats bow-tie – Tie Rack
Black leather belt – Raphael Steffens
Black resin coated 3D dimension tapered jeans – G-Star
Black distressed leather shoes – Raphael Steffens
Black leather clutch – Trendsetter Handbags Sydney, thrifted

I wore most of this outfit to work today, but I swapped out the bowtie for a necktie, and I left my sequins and clutch for the fashion crowd. I wanted to kick the event off with a bang, and nothing quite says bang like this audacious hoodie from Slickitup, a NYC based fetish and street wear label. The sequins are reversible, blue on one side and silver on the other, making it quite an interactive garment.
