QANTAS uniform launch

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Qantas uniform launch shown on the airlines runway created inside the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney. Lauching like a planes take off all guests watched on as the pilots came to the runway to start the show with Miranda Kerr bringing out the first look. The trilby hat and trench overcoat in french navy. Designer, Martin Grant added classic elegance to the new Qantas uniforms. From bold panels on dresses to small accents of colours on lapels, Martin added ambiguous colour; ruby red and fuchsia pink to the range.

Miranda Kerr on the runway for Qantas

I was seated front row amongst Australian favourites Peter Morrisey, Cate Blancett, Kate Cebrano, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce and TV personalities Magdalena Roze, Sophie Falkiner and Laura Csortan.

For all those fellow ANTM fans our favourite runway coach, Miss J had flown into Sydney to train the Qantas staff for their modelling debut.

Miranda Kerr and Martin Grant

Previously uniforms have been designed by Emilio Pucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Peter Morrisey. We may not all work for Qantas and get to wear these creations. So here a few of Martin Grant's designer pieces, we can try to get a hold of.

Luxe and Less - Peplums

The peplum can add a feminine fun to your great style. Glam it up with jewels for an evening out or jeans for a caual weekend look. From luxe Tibi to Asos, the peplum is ready for the taking.

Coachella

It's that time of year again with all the music festival hype of Coachella. And I wish I was there this year too! It got me thinking about what to wear to a music festival, to be amongst the cool kids.

What to wear to a music festival?

My suggestion

Black and White

Black and white can create a very bold statement. At Fashion Week, I saw this trend both on and off the runway. It's a classic look that we could all put our own spin on.
