Racing Fashion: Racing Fashion Previews Spring Racing Trends at Perri Cutten

Spring has sprung, the tulips and iris are colouring the garden beautifully, but I love going to the back scenes of Perri Cutten where it is 80% designed, manufactured and distributed from Melbourne. Perri Cutten is a label which not only translates to many ages, it is timeless, ageless and wears so well.
What is fantastic is that there is a 4 week turnaround so if something is translating well in the market Perri Cutten hears what the customer is wanting and can distribute quickly.
In some cases when you need something you have seen urgently Perri Cutten can try and get things out within 2 weeks.
Melbourne Racing Club were invited for an educational for there customers and give insight and education to manufacturing. The behind the scenes of the work room is far from the glamourous flash bulbs that you see in Karl, Anna, Donatella and many others lives of the fashionably fabulous, in fact the only similarities are the musing reading of fashion trend magazines from around the globe.
With Spring Carnival on the tip of everyone's lips we were treated to an in house showing of the latest looks and Penny, head designer of Perri Cutten showed us her favourite fabrics for the season and telling us how the main point of purchasing fabric right now is the print and basically having the copyright of that role. This is where Perri Cutten has a distinctive elegance and grace over the other labels. Many cheaper prints are readily available but are in so many lines, it somewhat looks like many labels are cloning into one.
Again I implore you to invest dress rather than purchasing throw away trend items. Look for a fitting model that is similar to your shape, which is the case where Australian fitting models are used, so it suits Australian figured women.
Kim Fletcher Millinery Art was also on hand to show how the difference of a hat can completely change the look of an outfit an even if you are seen wearing the same attire the hat can totally give difference to the wearer. Take a peak at some of the seasons brightest looks and take inspiration.
