In an Eveleigh warehouse, a massive space set scene to one of this year’s most anticipated RAFW shows Toni Maticevski.
Set against the cold, crumbling concrete, the shapes and silhouettes of Toni Maticevskis models floated down the runway, contrasting a sublime femininity against the harsh urban environment.
Seemingly not feeling the sub zero temperature, the ethereal beauty of Toni Maticevskis vision graced the catwalk made complete with the collaboration of Michael Wolff and Napoleon Perdis.
De Lorenzo’s hair crew, directed by Michael Wolff, twisted and tweaked locks up into a contemporary take on the French roll. Sleek slick styles contrasted with the highly detailed effervescent beauty of Toni Maticevskis garments, truly a beautiful mix of hair and style.
The tiny area backstage resulted in a hybrid buzz of artists, designers and models. Napoleon Perdis directed his crew with finesse and humour, elegantly interpreting the brief to capture the delicate femininity of Maticevski designs yet contrasting with bold, brazen slashes across the lids of the eyes keeping it edgy and modern.
With a standing ovation completing the show, it was all over in a a matter of
minutes – nine to be exact, yet those minutes stood still for each piece
of art whilst walking this past years work down the catwalk.
Toni, you totally delivered and we were so happy to be able to be
a sponsor for your show this year!
