Toni Maticevski opened up the 21st Australian Fashion Week with all the effervescence you would expect of one of Australia's leading designers.Styled by Jolyon Mason, the collection showcased a range of emotions and had an overtly sensual tone with Ryan Storer jewels used to perfectly offset each look in the way of handcuffs, mouthpieces & dramatic neckpieces. Dreamy gowns, elaborate draping and textured fabrics were in abundance and Maticevski's trademark gown has made some serious progress. Overall, this was a moodier collection that still retained the traditional beauty known of Toni's previous collections.

I want to congratulate Toni Maticevski once again, for yet another stellar show. To see his craftsmanship in the flesh in such a setting, is to truly see the work of a modern artist. He forever keeps me speechless.
