The Something Else FW 2012 collection debuted at the Melbourne fashion festival. The Australian-based company showcased a sunny collection of feminine, vintage-inspired silhouettes. Many ensembles were contrived of monotonous pieces, giving the collection a strong quirkiness and memorable charm.
Designer Natalie Wood constantly brings a youthful energy to her designs, lending to a sensational spunk. The pieces drew from natural surroundings, inspired by texture and spiritual feeling from atmospheric characteristics. Wood maintains a strong femininity with flirtatious patterns and breezy fabrics. The company’s site reads, “Something Else is inclusive rather than exclusive, bringing together a global community of artists to nurture and celebrate the brand’s creativity.”
The Something Else FW 2012 collection is perfect for the fashionista with gumption.
