Australian Fashion Week: Eduardo Calucag

On a runway at the world famous Louvre in Paris, Toronto fashion student Eduardo Calucag first showcased his vision of fashion. Just over a decade later, his contemporary womenswear label – Eduardo Calucag – has evolved while maintaining a common objective: to inspire women to be more daring and confident in their choice of clothing to look effortlessly striking.

Shortly after his migration to Australia in 2006, Eduardo put his love for fashion, creative talent and commitment to quality design to work and created his self-titled label which was launched during the Motorola Melbourne Spring Fashion Week in 2007. Since then, the label has consistently grown in popularity and has instigated various collaborations with local celebrities.

The ethos of the Eduardo Calucag label is simple – to consistently design highly sophisticated and fashion-forward garments to flatter the female form.

Australian Fashion Week: April Marie Swimwear

April Marie Swimwear was launched in Melbourne in 2006 by designer April Hewat after winning a Queens Trust grant.

Seizing opportunities to present her growing collection at events such as Fashion Federation Square new designers showcase and by sponsoring Miss Universe Australia Laura Dundovic, she has earned the attention of domestic and international buyers.

The designer has sought to draw attention to Australia’s natural environment in one of her ranges by immortalising most treasured waterways and coastal landscapes.

Last year was April Marie Swimwear’s first year at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. The collection was enthusiastically received by international delegates and demand for April’s unique collection increased dramatically.

Są różne parady na ulicach Sydney w ciągu roku. Żadna z nich jednak nie jest tak ważna jak ta organizowana z wojskową dokładnością 25 kwietnia w rocznicę krwawej bitwy z siłami Imperium Otomańskiego na Galipolii w ramach Operacji Dardanelskiej z 1915 roku. Brytyjczycy, w szeregach których walczył ANZAC - Korpus Australijsko-Nowozelandzki oraz Francuzi ponieśli wówczas ogromne straty w ludziach. Zginęło około 250 tys. żołnierzy. To najbardziej pamiętna przegrana bitwa w militarnej historii australijskiej.
Dzień ten jest tu obchodzony w całej Australii jako dzień żołnierza i pamięci tych, którzy zginęli na wszystkich frontach wojen: obu światowych a także tych późniejszych jak koreańskiej czy wietnamskiej . Toteż w dzisiejszej paradzie uczestniczyli wetrani różnych narodowości.
