Our view from the 2012 L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival

sorella & me was lucky enough to attend the Opening Event of the 2012 L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF).

Now I’m not skilled with an iphone at the best of times – and I’m pretty sure Steve Jobs didn’t have the bright lights of a runway in mind when he designed it – so apologies for the low quality in sound, vision and position from the bleachers. It had NOTHING to do with the fact that I had enjoyed a couple of wines prior to the show. There are some great videos posted by the LMFF crew on YouTube so head to their channel to get a closer squizz at the gorgeous pieces from the Opening Event and other runway shows from the festival.
