Fashion Palette brought emerging Australian designers Steven Khalil, Amy Taylor Collection, Belluccio, Galanni, Philippa Galasso, Steph Audino, Leah Da Gloria, Betty Tran to showcase their Evening/Bridal Spring/Summer 2015 collections during NYFW on September 7, 2014.
Have you caught up with all fashionable happenings at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) for the last week? I’m sure many of you have your favorites already; catching new trends, colors, and shapes on your Spring/Summer 2015 fashion wish list, especially for RTW pieces. However, how about evening / bridal gowns? I suddenly have an urge to build a wish list for evening gowns and bridal DIY inspirations, thanks to Fashion Palette. Founded by Sonya Mefaddi, Fashion Palette is a leading organization that brings established and emerging Australian brands and designers to New York Fashion Week. It manages all elements for designers showcase, from show production to media relations. The Sydney-based company’s previous runway shows at NYFW have featured a broad array of notable Australian designers – including Tony Maticevski, Aurelio Costarella, Bowie Wong, Nicola Finetti, Samantha Wills, Akira, and Bettina Liano; all of whom have great success in the US Market.
On Sunday, September 7, 2014, Fashion Palette showcased Evening/Bridal Spring/Summer 2015 collections from emerging Australian designers Steven Khalil, Amy Taylor Collection, Belluccio, Galanni, Philippa Galasso, Steph Audino, Leah Da Gloria, and Betty Tran during NYFW. The garments were ultra feminine, seductive, and full-on glamorous. There’s a great amount of sheer fabrics, layers of silk organza, lace, beads, sequins, sparkle…the whole shebang. They’re very sexy, but at the same time very wearable for many body types. I definitely have my favorites and so will you!

Glimpses of Backstage at Fashion Palette Evening/Bridal SS15
One thing I love about fashion shows is the backstage scene. Seeing people running around making things happen is the heart of what makes any fashion show successful, so I’m really happy to see backstage shots before the show started.

Steven Khalil
The pencil and mermaid skirt shapes, plus the overall body-conscious silhouette of this Steven Khalil collection are so confident and glamorous. Some look way too sheer for my preference (certainly I’m not THAT confident), but I ADORE those large beaded embroidery treatment of the 3rd and 4th looks. Major wow moment.

Amy Taylor Collection
Very feminine and romantic, with a small dose of mystical allure. Not only the garments are gorgeous, the styling and accessories really elevate this Amy Taylor Collection.

Belluccio
Classic, timeless glamour that celebrates women. That’s what popped out in my mind when I saw this Belluccio collection. The intricate details for each garment scream red carpet and black tie events, and the models looked so gorgeous wearing them. And didn’t designer Belluccio Demartini, who walked out at the end looked amazing?

Galanni
I’m a complete sucker for lace and beadwork craftsmanship, so I’m so glad there’s so much abundance for those during the Galanni collection. The wavy shapes are so luxurious and spell-binding, however some garments seem a bit too ambitious, such as the the crotch-highlighting lace treatment. However, this mother and daughter duo, Lenna and Catherine Vasilas definitely brought a lot of sexiness for the runway!

Philippa Galasso
I found this Philippa Galasso collection to be one of my favorites, for some reason not entirely rational. Yes, some looks are too sheer. However, the looks evoke that “dark beauty” in feminine, figure-enhancing silhouettes. The darker colored gowns seemed more successful than the white counterparts, and the fabric embellishments are marvelous.

Steph Audino
Stephanie Audino‘s collection manages to stand out from the extravaganza of lace, beads, and sequin embellishments by showcasing more modern silhouettes. As a result, the garments look more energetic and youthful. Chic and modern, who doesn’t want that, right? Great work!
[shashin type=”photo” id=”17511,17512,17513,17514,17515,17516,17517,17518,17519,17520,17521,17522,17523,17524,17525,17526,17527,17528,17529,17530,17531,17532,17533″ size=”xlarge” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”]

Leah Da Gloria
There’s a lot of talents in Leah Da Gloria (she’s a finalist on Project Runway Australia Season 4). The wedding gowns are glorious; classic with a touch of modern, all the while glamorous and confident. My favorite non-bridal look is the deep-V dress with layers of gold, floral-print fabrics at the bottom (3rd look).

Betty Tran
I. LOVE. those lace headpieces. I’m contemplating of making one (or two) myself! The gowns for adult are magnificent, but I really love what she does for the girls as well. I usually found girls’ dresses to be too cheesy and/or cartoonish, but these creations are all out fashion. WOW. What a successful collection that empowers women! I love gorgeous dresses that make me feel free at the same time. Hands down my most favorite of the night!
