Gabriel Scarvelli and Terry Biviano were billed as the hottest tickets at Australian Fashion Week. Conveniently for the fashion flock, they joined forces to show back-to-back and stage the event that has already been hailed as the week’s standout.
Scarvelli took the stage first, sending out Popstars Idol Sophie Monk, in a boned corset minidress with a tiered ruffle skirt, one of several looks that highlighted an hourglass female form. An entirely sheer black dress was cinched with a laced corset cummerbund and a ‘50s Brigitte Bardot style bathing suit hugged the hips.
The collection of party pieces also included a stunning silver-spangled flapper dress and a white satin minidress with sequined car-wash fringes that swirled around the skirt. Satin pants were paired with a sheer camisole or exquisitely beaded tunic. Plucked from East Sydney TAFE fashion studio by Collette Dinnigan five years ago for his incredible beading skills, Scarvelli, now 24, has since lent those skills to Peter Morrissey and Alex Perry.
Though this was his first AFW show, Scarvelli’s work was present last year; he designed the lingerie that the models wore to present Terry Biviano’s debut shoe collection.
Once known only as the arm candy of TV star beau Alex Dimitriades, Biviano’s name is now invariably followed with, “Australia’s answer to Manolo Blahnik.” And her vertiginous stilettos are so sexy that even Blahnik devotee Carrie Bradshaw may change camps. The designer has already taken orders for four pairs for the actress’s “Sex and the City” wardrobe. The show’s stylists have incidentally also snatched up Scarvelli’s collection.
As last year, Biviano was the only non-apparel designer approved for an individual show at AFW. And it’s no wonder why. She knows how to put on a show that actually merits an hour-and-a-half wait. Tony Assness, the Baz Luhrmann collaborator responsible for Biviano’s theatrical extravaganza last year, served as creative director once again.
The finale was complete with body paint and feathers.
When we moved cross-country, my wife and I decided to drive
both of our cars. Nathan, our eight-year-old, worriedly asked,
"How will we keep from getting separated?"
"We'll drive slowly so that one car can follow the other,"
I reassured him.
"Yeah, but what if we DO get separated?" he persisted.
"Well, then I guess we'll never see each other again," I quipped.
"Okay," he said. "I'm riding with Mom."
