MSFW's first official runway show was a display of colour and texture, featuring some of the country's most talented designers.

I attended the Designer Series Gala with Thom from the amazing blog, Everyone's Celebrity.

Guests were treated to beautifully constructed gowns with detailed draping and embellishments, carefully tailored suits and vibrant colour.

The face of MSFW, Sophie Van Den Akker opened the show in an amazing Richard Nylon headpiece and was joined on stage by ethereal looking models dressed by up-and-coming designers Neo Dia.

Sophie also closed the show in a dramatic black Rachel Gilbert gown.

The night wasn't without controversy with PETA protesters interrupting Rachel Gilbert's runway show, angry at the designer's use of fur in her AW11 collection.

Despite this, the runway was a great success and showcased a great range of Spring/Summer looks which no doubt will be seen on fashion lovers this season.

Check out some of the pieces from the night:

Meeting Dion Lee at Green With Envy

To celebrate the launch of Dion Lee's Spring/Summer 11/12 Collection, Green With Envy hosted an evening with the designer at their Chapel Street boutique. One of the most exciting designers to come out of Australia in recent times, Dion Lee is not only catching the attention of the Australian fashion industry, but he is quickly gaining fame overseas, stocking on international fashion giant Net-A-Porter.

Guests were treated to champagne as they browsed the amazing new pieces. Focusing on black, greens, cyan, creams and bold smokey crystalised prints, Lee's new collections stayed true to his unique design aesthetic featuring his trademark cutouts and impeccable tailoring.

Lee is one of the most exciting designers on the Australian fashion scene. He's not afraid to experiment with shapes, colours, materials, prints and techniques to create pieces that are at the cutting edge of fashion.

The amazing Green With Envy team were on hand to help guests who were trying on the beautiful pieces. Lee mingled with guests taking the time to talk to everyone. The lovely and talented Irene Nicholas, founder of Green With Envy and designer for in-house label Nicholas, also took the time to mingle with shoppers. Although the retail economy is struggling, Irene has managed to take Green With Envy from strength to strength and it continues to develop a loyal following among Australian fashion lovers.

Customers were given a signed copy of Dion's coffee table book which features images from his additional range, LINE II. Keeping with his unconventional designs, Lee's amazing book has two cutouts through the middle and features beautiful images showcasing his stunning collection.

Thanks to Dion Lee and the wonderful Green With Envy Team for hosting such a great evening. Make sure you head into Green With Envy stores to check out Dion Lee's amazing collection before it's all sold out!
