Camilla and Marc S/S 2010-11

The second day of Australian Fashion Week kicked off with a stunning show from Camilla and Marc. Set in a dimly lit, moody interior, this season the designers took us around the world with a exotic looks perfect for the glamorous nomad.

Their signature elements such as soft tailoring and beautiful frocks were a strong presence in the collection, however overall it signalled a definite shift towards colour and print. Cobalt blue, lemon and tangerine lit up the elegant palette of khaki, earthy greys and subdued pink. The tortoiseshell and sandstorm prints were perfect on draped georgette dresses, with one of my favourite looks working a featherweight safari-style shirt and baggy khaki leather pants.

Ethnic influences came through heavily in the accessories, which are so beautiful my only problem is deciding on the pieces I love the most. Rows and rows of layered chain jewellery adorned the model's arms, and continued to some amazing earrings which moulded around the back of the ear. The gold, rhino-head rings and luxurious leather turbans which topped some looks were absolute standouts and perfect for the exotic traveller.
