Clare Alstin (Style Me Romy’s new contributing Fashion Editor) joined me at the Chanel show in Randwick, Sydney on Tuesday night.  Following the show, we deliberated over our top five fashion moments of the night…

Clare: I loved the rustic Chanel stable setting; it completely recaptured Lagerfelds’s country barnyard scene that was erected during the Paris shows last season.

C: Clogs? love or loathe they are set to make a comeback next season, what did you think of them Rom?

R: A little heavy for me but a perfect compliment to the collection.

C: Loved the tweed jacket with black ruffle collar, this is my piece of the season to dress down with a plain tee and jeans. R: Agreed, also the evening dress with the floor-length chiffon skirt – sheer elegance.

C: I’m not usually someone who enjoys eveningwear but yes the assymetrical cream and black ribbon dress makes me want to indulge.

C: In keeping with the French, Kym Ellery’s showed us her rainbow selection of cigarettes which has us in stitches.

R: She was just off the plane from Paris and exuding a certain je ne sais quoi don’t you think?

C: Yes! And her latest collection for RAFW sounds like it’s going to be amazing.
