Yes, it’s finally here! The new A.F.Vandevorst collection is now in store.
This season saw An and Filip inspired by childhood. Most pieces from the collection can be tied, buttoned or zipped to create a smaller or change in silhouette. This is to mimic the way a child would rummage through her mothers closet, trying on garments and needing to pull them in, or hitch them up to fit.
This is a very strong collection, featuring the typical details and beautiful construction we have all come to expect from A.F.V. A magical collection!

Our very own Perth Label, One Fell Swoop thrilled the crowd at Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Yesterday.
The trio opened their show with short dresses in pale pinks and champagne. The collection then took a darker turn with black tartan pieces, closing with a stunning black evening gown.
The show was presented with models walking to the sound of 17th Century music. Daniel Rominin says the choice of music came about from wanting the music to reflect the simple elgance of the new collection, therefore choosing one of the first songs ever composed.
The new collection will be available at Dilettante.
