Imelda touches down in sanctuary cove

Imelda the shoe blogger AKA Matt Jordan our footwear queen would be delighted to see that he has far reaching influence even in the Sanctuary of the Cove. 

Taking a little post breakfast stroll before the fashionable time to rise I was delighted to see our queen was present in spirit. - And her representative was so gracious about allowing media coverage. 

Imelda would be proud. The place was spotless.

Anna and Boy - Swim fashion Week

Anna and Boy in their third fashion week showed a gorgeous collection.  Heart felt being the unofficial theme of the week was well and truly embraced by Anna and Lill the designers. 

Starting with the cat walk with pink hearts running down the centre, a giant read heart on one ear of each girl, and adorable 80's top knot headbands with pink and red sprayed pump wedges. 

The swimwear predominantly in prints was sugar and spice nice, with a gorgeous pink red and blue plaid you can see on Jessica Gomes (pictured bottom) , the IMG special guest model and opening face (and body) for the parade. Jessica I will write more about shortly, walked for A&B in their first parade three years back in Sydney Opera House so it was wonderful to see them sharing the limelight in their success. 

And judging by the smiles backstage it all went very right their end. 

Their menswear was a hit with Damien Woolnough from Vogue.com and Adam Worling parading their fashion forward board shorts for Front row Swim fashion week chic. 

Hotel Bondi Swim @ Swimfashionweek

Hotel Bondi Swim showed to much appreciation last night in the tent out the front of our resort in the hip 10pm closing slot. 

Fern and Damien are a little left of centre as far as swim and fabric design go. Their previous incarnation together was a gorgeous label called Kitten.

 

Their taste in Music gets the award of the week so far - Six months in a leaky boat in a rocking version of the Split Enz classic to an equally cool version of Pretty in Pink from the film soundtrack of the same titled John Hughes classic starring Molly Ringwald 

- nothing is as whimsical as it first appears with Hotel Bondi Swim.

so to the important little lycra bits.......

The shapes and long distance appearance are all girly and super cute, on closer inspection, that would be a garden Gnome in the florals and in the super sweet oval picture frame print - you have Bob Brown leader for the Green Party grinning in a sketched Portrait of himself. HILARIOUS sense of fun and humor GOD Love them. 

Last season our friend Gary's dog "Bindi" featured in print in a gorgeous sketch so cleverly placed and so life like they are clever.

The last exit of the show featured our favourite bikini bottom emblazoned on the butt in a cross stitch design print saying simply "LOCAL" Bondi has an official uniform. 

The lovely news is that they are expecting a baby! sweet.

 - so go buy one of their cozzies, they don't know how much a little one changes your need for bigger housing and all kinds of stuff yet! :-) 

Swim Fashion Week ....

There is gold when you get up for a 7.45am call to go see dolphins for a media briefing - you get shots like this !!!  Lisa Blue who just showed at Swim Fashion Week at Sanctuary Cove this evening ( which I twitted about throughout ) Lisa is a woman on a mission combining her "passion for fashion" with her mission to save whales. So the dolphin connection (?) this morning was actually very UN fashion is a really beautiful heart warming presentation - we had dolphins playing around us for and hour - very beautiful and serene.  Lisa is on the left of the frame. I'm feeling a little tired now ! x

Zimmermann started with a bang ... rushing to see dolphins more later thought you may want to see some snaps first. x  covered in full here at Coutorture.
