Runway lookbook concept explained

The designer created the lookbook to show how garments appear on bodies rather than on hangers. Models walked along wearing breezy summer dresses that will be available in stores come January.

Nostalgic design influences noted

Mathews has been on a nostalgic streak for recent collections and recalled a partnership with Australian recycled fashion chain SWOP. Some of the garments featured were two decades old, which surprised the designer given the contemporary environment.

Demand expected for summer styles

Australia is following a globally concerning pattern with high temperatures likely to drive demand for airy investment dresses. The designer has honed her skill after 27 years in business to meet this need.
