This night of Adelaide fashion is set to take place at The Loft Wine Bar - an uber trendy new drinking spot, with all proceeds going to The Royal Society for the Blind.
 
Designer and Stylist Ben Conroy and Photographer Haley Renee are the brains behind 'The September Collection', having worked in the industry on a number of international and local projects.
 
Ben Conroy comments on the inspiration behind the idea:
 
“South Australia is becoming nationally recognized as an Arts & Cultural hot bed, Edwina McCann said it herself, ‘no one does the Fringe Festival better than Adelaide – thus Adelaide Fashion Designers need to stop trying to be like the Eastern States and just be true to themselves, embrace their individuality and prove we don’t follow the trends, that we are brave enough to start new ones.’ Thus Hayley and I developed the idea for event - the September Collection – a platform for Adelaide’s hot young talent to showcase their collections and be recognised.

Trend Setters: Friend Of Mine


This season it's all about that effortless cool, while maintaining some serious edge and throwing in a hint of subtle sex appeal… right? Well Boston & Chase have found you just that!
A new collection by the label 'Friend Of Mine' is soon to hit David Jones. This collaboration is from two Melbourne-based women, Teale Talbot and Letitia Mclean, with the same drive and desire that has truly translated into their eccentric and dynamic label. Friend Of Mine is now available in over 60 leading stores across the world. The label has also had its fair share of exposure in the worldwide press. Featured in such publications as Vogue, Russh Magazine, Nylon US, Grazia and Instyle- Well done ladies!! 

These girls have nailed it when it comes to must-have-pieces. The collection has a free-spirited gypsy feel, teamed with asymmetrical hemlines and batik prints- this only leaves us wanting more!

Now enough chit-chat, immerse yourself into all that is Friend Of Mine's new collection, GYPSET. We Promise you won't be disappointed!

From the Rattle beaded top to the cool Nine to Five blazer and the Canine asymmetric dress, Friend of Mine is set to stir things up this SS13/14.

A Night of Fashion at the Art Gallery of South Australia


While many of you were watching election votes roll in or glued to the television as Port Power blitzed Collingwood in the second elimination final, we here at Boston and Chase were attending 'A Night of Fashion' at the Art Gallery, hosted by Honda, and presented by Attitude Magazine. 

Adelaide's fashion-elite were out in force, headed to the Art Gallery of South Australia for a night like no other in Adelaide. Upon arrival we were greeted by fashionable hosts and directed toward the buzz of action within. Elegantly lit, the interior of the Art Gallery sparkled, proving itself as the true beauty of the night - a mixture of classic old-world charm and modern edge. Flowers, supplied by Adelaide Flower House, also added to the stylish ambiance of the surrounds. 



Flocks of glamorous women filled the space, sporting the designs of Josh Goot, Peter Pilotto, Sass & Bide, Cameo, Winston Wolfe, Kahlo, Maurie & Eve, Scanlan & Theodore and Finders Keepers - most of which are stunning Australian brands. 
After a little label spotting, we headed outside toward the Patron bar where jars of sweet, pink, petal cocktails were served.


One of our favorite looks of the night...



Perusing the crowdwe spotted the beautiful Jennifer Centenera, the lovely ladies from Australian Fashion Labels and Kate Bowden, the Deputy Editor of The Adelaide Magazine. What a night! Rubbing shoulders with some of Adelaide's most inspiring, successful women. 

The stunning girls from Pride Models


The crowd began to cluster around the foot of the staircase. The show was about to begin. We took our seats.







Super cool beats set the mood and the stunning girls and guys from Pride Models and Finesse Models strutted their stuff. Designs from Carla Zampatti, Bianca Spender, Willow, Scanlan & Theodore, Alice McCall, Akira, Collette Dinnigan, Suzy O'Rourke and Toni Maticevski graced the stage. 

Our personal favourite: Scanlan & Theodore's little white number...

Once the parade concluded more drinks were served, along with light refreshments from Cibo; the gallery was again filled with the buzz of excited chatter - the after party had begun.

Such a beautiful night, celebrating Australian style in Adelaide. If only there were more events like this!!
