ROMANCE WAS BORN - AW 2012

Those that know a little bit about me will know that I am a huge fan of Australian fashion - yes sometimes it can be a season or two behind the trends, but it is always so fun, innovative, quirky and exciting. I hope that more big UK retailers will follow the lead of Urban Outfitters and realise the potential of Australian fashion labels and brand out.

One of my all time favourite Australian fashion labels, Romance Was Born have excelled themselves with their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, entitled 'Happy Campers'. Featuring plenty of tribal-inspired prints, multi-coloured metallic foils, bright colour pops and a very cute little owl, designers and co-founders Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales have continued with their signature aesthetic - kaleidoscopic colour, cultural influence and a mixture of texture and bold prints. It is tongue-in-cheek fashion at its best and I just love it.

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the collection - although I must say I would wear every single garment!

How seriously awesome are those prints and metallic foils? I practically need a bib to look at the range!

What do you guys think of the Winter 2012 offering from Romance Was Born? Do you have a favourite overseas fashion label?

Peace Out!
