What I Wore: Michael Lo Sordo 10th Anniversary Show

17th May, 2023

An evening celebration of Michael Lo Sordo’s 10th anniversary called for a party ready look, and I couldn’t think of anything better than a slinky cocktail dress by the man of the hour himself. This canary yellow dress is a signature style of Lo Sordo’s (a navy iteration was worn by Ana de Armas in the most recent James Bond movie) and no wonder — it’s elegantly simple but so impactful at the same time. I’m also a fan of any dress with a statement back and this particular style features a stunning crystal strap, adding a little sparkle to this look.

After dark accessories are often all about dialling up the glamour. I knew sparkling accoutrements were a must, and I was lucky enough to be collaborate with jewellery brand Hardy Brothers on this particular look. I didn’t want to overpower the dress so I opted for accessories with an understated profile, but with plenty of shine including a beyond gorgeous tennis necklace and drop earrings. Adding a evening pouch by Jimmy Choo and a Giuseppe Zanotti shoes with a crystal heel complemented the dress, helping to anchor the more flowy silhouette of the dress.

What I Wore: Relaxed Suiting

1st May, 2018

I’ve spoken of my love of a power suit before but I’m also equally as enamoured by its relaxed counterpart. This suit style is a little less structured and has a more laidback feel, however it definitely doesn’t compromise in the style department. This set is by one of my favourite Australian designers Michael Lo Sordo and I think the design really nails relaxed suiting. The blazer is still polished but the wrap belt gives it a more fashion forward feel. The wide leg pants have a tailored sensibility but the split at the bottom gives it a little edge. When matched with the wraparound jacket, with its exaggerated sleeves it steers into more modern territory.

One way to really let your outfit talking is wearing a vibrant colour, especially a beautiful red. This particular hue is a showstopper and is the kind of colour to consider when you really want to make a statement.

With such a strong look going on I knew I needed to balance it with the accessories I chose. I decided to stick with simple, unfussy jewellery such as my favourite watch and bangle. The sunglasses I chose were a simple shape but their pink hue was the perfect contrast piece against the red of the suit.
