How do you know Fashion Week is just around the corner in Sydney? The answer is easy – by quaffing champagne and looking a gorgeous outfits at the first collaborative fashion event of the season, the launch of Fashion Palette.

This event was held earlier in the week to give media a sneak preview of what we could expect coming into this weekend’s action packed event. With many familiar designers showcasing their wares, including Nicola Finetti & Bettina Liano, there are also some of the up and coming names that should definitely be on your radar coming into the new A/W season.

One of the highlights from the evening was emerging designer Wanni, whose ethereal creations combined with bold colour are both feminine and eye catching. With a real emphasis on draping, and an eye for embellished details, this will no doubt be the first of many collections from this young designer.

If this launch experience was anything to go by, this weekend’s events at Carriageworks are not to be missed.
