Grandma Ariel...?

Grandma’s heirlooms – think lace doilies, pearls, crochet tea-cosies, housecoats, and pompoms – draped off the Romance Was Born SS 09/10 collection at RAFW. The other inspiration was a mermaid’s garden under the sea – so just try to imagine granny chic crossed with The Little Mermaid’s shell bikinis and shimmery fishscales!

Apparently, Romance Was Born designers Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett made the entire collection in just six (!) weeks. Models showcased the designs at the Sydney Theatre Company’s Wharf Theatre - the company's artistic director, global movie star, and all-round style icon Cate Blanchett has asked RWB to create costumes for a theatre production later this year. Seems like a great fit, given the theatricality of this collection! (Pics from Grazia online.)
