PFF 2013: Amore + Sorvete [Highlights]

All you Perth Fashion Festival fans will know that one of the Fashion Central shows yesterday featured both Amore + Sorvete as well as our perennial favourite, Poppy Lissiman (yup, we've already pinned her down for an interview here).  However, I have too many highlights from both runways, so I'm going to go ahead and split the coverage into two so you can enjoy looking at both without your internet breaking from my liberal photo-inclusion.  On a side note, once the whole PFF circus is over we'll be thinking about putting up all our photos on facebook so you see each & every piece.  You'll just have to bear with me first whilst I catch my breath & actually cram in some uni study!!

Anyway, let's get back to the real reason for this post: the vibrant collection that Bridgette Gale sent down the runway for her swimwear label, Amore + Sorvete.  Yes - it's a bit cheeky (all puns intended) & editing the photos made be feel both proud to have re-started some Jillian Michaels torture but also ashamed of my un-beach-ready body.  What a way to inspire me to get out of bed.  Fresh from Miami Swim Fashion Week, the collection dubbed "El Mar" was inspired by the South Americas, & brings with it much of the associated liveliness & festival-like colour.  Oh and FYI, Poppy & Bridgette are BFFs!

So go on ahead & check out my favourite looks by clicking on the link below.  Or perhaps don't click on it if you're in the office...

Legs - and I mean legs for days were sent down the runway.  Notable mentions were Caris Tiivel who is in top form since her WA Miss Universe proceedings, as well as the number of slim yet very muscular models.  I guess that's why the world is going a bit crazy over Perth models - a fair few of them exude a glow of health without looking like a dead stick.  Quite a feat!

It's not often that S & I pick out many pieces of a collection we're shooting that we actually want to buy.  Clearly there are heaps from from Bridgette's label that we're both coveting right now...  If you're in the same boat, then head on down to her new boutique on Glyde Street in Mosman Park for a swimwear hit.
