Rosemont Australian Fashion Week 09
Get your motor runnin'…
Annah Stretton Summer 2009 is unleashing the lawless radical within, The Boy I Left Behind - a collection of distinctly feminine pieces with a sharp edge for those who were ‘Born to be Wild.’ Head out on the highway… The Boy I Left Behind captures the beloved summer road trips of our youth. Rocking to Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones - the uncontested music legends of summer - driving with the top down, wild hair whipping across black Ray Ban sunglasses; screaming down the scorching roads of a State Highway with an ungoverned ambition to reach your goal. Destination… irrelevant! All that matters is that you’re dressed to kill and you’re not going to let anything or anyone stop you make your move. Take the world in a love embrace… Accelerate with injections of colour - turquoise, yellow and orange, pink and purple. Classic blacks and whites feature in the collection in chequered flag form. Racy layers of mesh and silk in fitted bustiers with flowing skirts make a statement in lingerie dresses. Fire all your guns at once… This collection is about reclaiming that sense of freedom lost in the breakdowns of life. We celebrate fabrics that allow your body to breathe in the hot months of the New Year. On cool nights under a star-studded-sky, throw over a leather jacket and ride your Harley like there’s no tomorrow. As with every season, Annah’s love of colour, texture and attention to detail is evident. Garments are classically cut and collections always feature gorgeous dresses and great separates. The Boy I Left Behind is for the woman who is fiercely independent. She makes up her own mind; knows her own style and will never let anyone tell her otherwise.
