I love black lace in summer and winter, and while the leaves are turning golden and the days getting colder here in Oz, this type of dress is one of those trans-seasonal pieces you can wear across the seasons.
The heaters are on and brollies out in Melbourne now with winter having well and truly arrived. How do you guys feel about white in winter? I suppose if you live somewhere super cold with snow it might not be practical, but for a Melbourne autumn I'm giving it a go.
Stepping into Gwendolynne Burkin’s Fitzroy boutique you could be caught thinking you’d been transported into a 1920s salon. Fine Edwardian and Art Deco furniture complements the high ceilings that give way to a wall of finely beaded and hand crafted gowns.
But what you really want to read about I guess, is the atelier upstairs where all the magic happens. I was granted a look behind the scenes when I visited recently to see the progress on her up-coming collection.
