From [modernized camouflage patterning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo) to photo-printed textiles, this effortlessly cool showing features a multitude of rich hues and textures. Putting emphasis on print, the brand features a series of stunning images by Perth photographer Richard Woldendorp, giving this collection personality and a cultural character. Presented with an art school flair, this lookbook takes risks with prints and unlikely textile combinations, paying homage to its native Australia. The Sara Phillips AW12 lookbook, entitled 'The Wanderer,' takes inspiration from the Australian Outback. Featuring [deep earth tones, landscape imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection) and eye-catching bursts of color, the proudly Australian collection makes fashion waves with fresh and youth-infused styles that are sure to get one noticed. Daring to take fashion risks, this collection is bold and expressive while retaining a [delicate sense of femininity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren).
