I got an email a few days ago from Alive Sydney asking whether they have permission to link to my blog, of course I said yes, any publicity is good publicity! But I didn’t know it was going to be a cool little write up, I’m pretty stoked, this is the first press coverage xssat has received.

End of self promotion… for now.
Last night, I shot my first fashion runway show, it was the 2008 Whitehouse Design Institutes fashion graduate show. I felt out of my league amongst the other photographers, I didn’t have a monopod or a big ass lens. But despite kneeling on the photographers platform for 1.5 hours, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. So here, let me share some of my favourite looks from the show.

I like the sequins, the silk and most of the all, the tea cup!

I can see that clear painted umbrella being a big hit, I’d buy it.

There was a flood of none stop “Awww” when these girls came onto the runway and they are adorable. The clothes are really cute too. (I might have gotten the designer’s last name wrong, couldn’t make it out on my photos.)
By Alison Davis
Alison was the Whitehouse representative on the Australian project runway.
By Liz Chan
I really liked all of Liz’s dresses, the mini collection was simple and elegant, it shows off her designs and cuts nicely.

Note the flood of cream coloured long dresses? Either that’s the look of the year or I just really liked them 
She has a somewhat intense look, great powerful eyes. I always like the look of red haired girls. I really like this outfit and it suits her so much, I even like the slightly snagged stockings. It adds to her look and hints at her nonchalance personality.

The felt hat adds so much, I like the little dashes of red, in her hat, her lipstick, buttons on her dress, the belt and the shoes, the red really ties the whole outfit together.
Such a cute bag! I like the simple blue dress, matching earrings, paired with down to earth brown shoes and bags. Timelessly quirky.

This is just an amazing dress and it fits and suits her perfectly. It’s a very feminine dress, so I like the chunky belt, the big watch and the lack of necklace to make the outfit not overtly girly.
I shot these in my office building, I saw her walk past our office to the elevator and ran out with my camera to get these shot. Turned out well, don’t you think?
New functionality! Click on the images to see them large and the outfits in more details.
I’m really liking all these oversized manbags I’m seeing around the streets of Sydney, so I’ll be keeping my eyes out and bringing you more. This bag is an old Gucci, quite worn out at the handles but still handsome and stylish.
I like this outfit too, so easy to put together, so simple yet perfect. Why can’t men dress like this more? A pair of fitting jeans, a crisp ironed shirt, a belt and a good pair of shoes, done! Is it really too much to ask of straight guys?
