EVENT POST: WHITE.HORN LABEL LAUNCH

Last night, I had the distinct pleasure of attending the launch party for WHITE.HORN, a brand new Melbourne Fashion Label, founded by Natasha Mapleson (Designer) and Olivia Wasson (Business Director). Held in the newly refurbished top floor of The Wolf and I on Chapel street; the venue complemented the collection perfectly. With high ceilings, crystal chandeliers and deep teal walls, the venue was the perfect fusion of vintage and modern glamor.

Sourced from Chadwicks (click the link to go to webpage), the models were youthful and walked the runway barefoot. Like fairies with their fishtail braids courtesy of Oscar Oscar Salon and flawless makeup by Rob Povey, the showing was whimsical and inspiring. Beautiful shell and Feather embellished dresses, skirts, crops and belts stole the show for me personally. Hand crafted, right here in Melbourne, I was impressed with the quality of the garments as well as the aesthetic. The collection as a whole was soft and romantic with elements of drama seen in the over-sized fur coats, lace and embellishment. Resort 14 was very reflective of the designer, even the barefoot models were distinctly Natasha. It was young, fresh and perfect for the young Australian Fashionista.

While both Natasha and Olivia mentioned how nervous they were, you never would have known from looking at them. The event ran seamlessly from start to finish,with glowing reviews all round. Business Director, Olivia put together the event and organized sponsorship from a number of local business', including the incredible Vegan Lipstick brand, 'Shanghai Suzy'. The hubba-bubba scented lipsticks were gifted to all guests and featured on the models.

I am among many who are excited to see what's next for this innovative young label. With an ever growing cult following on social media, supporters of the label will get the opportunity to see an Australian Fashion Label sky-rocket to success.

I've included some personal shots from the evening, however due to lighting and a few wines, they're a little more "artistic" in nature, so I've shared a few from the event photographer, APL Photography aplphotography.com.au. You will find further contact details for WHITE.HORN beneath the event photos... enjoy.
