Gianni Barbato Update

I just found this shoe from Barbato's A/W09/10 collection on Imelda's website. Utterly fab. I haven't been this excited about shoes in a long time.

Will somebody please buy these?

The Week That Was...The Best of Wednesday

Best hair makeovers at Redken - Caroline and I go wild with volume

Electric eyelids at Marnie Skillings

Hair at Kirrily Johnston. (Model Myf told me afterwards that the hairdressers actually put glue in their hair - the models were told only after the show. Cruel.)

Body/swimsuits at TV. We must get our hands on some of those mesh cut-outs.

Accessories by Zakie.D at White Sands in the Ready To Wear Swimsuit Collection. The leather wings are absolute winners, a quirky take on the current big shoulder trend.

Shoe of the day. Marni wood and leather. Simple, classic, classy, crafty and clever.

My favourite model of the day - Madeline an Illionare, what a spunk.

Hair at Ellery

The "No makeup" makeup look at Manning Cartel

And shoe of the day? Pip Edwards' Balenciaga beauties won the title by far.
