Last Thursday debuted the inaugural collection from Adelaide based fashion label, Astor + Tyne. A night of champagne, Just Bliss Chocolates, and strawberries accompanied Adelaide A-listers and hand-picked Instagram influencers for the brands 2017 Autumn/Winter runway.
The designers, Melanie and Nicola, created Astor + Tyne with luxe and love in mind. The new collection features cape jackets, cable knits, statement pants and sophisticated tops; all in blushes, blues, and their signature monochrome print.

The brand name itself is reflective of what's close to their hearts, 'Astor' comes from the legendary Lady Astor, the first female parliamentarian and former textiles trader; and 'Tyne', a nickname lovingly given to Melanie as a child by her grandfather.
I was lucky enough to be personally invited by the designers to model the gorgeous new collection on the night. Being a part of the 'Behind The Scenes' of a fashion show was a completely new and exhilarating experience. There I met Nikita Chu, the international stylist with a precise eye who helped style and coordinate the outfits ready for the runway. Among the outfits selected for me, I wore a favourite of mine, the Astound Cape Sleeve Jacket in Cobalt Blue ($249.95), and closed the show with a sneak peek print dress for the upcoming SS17 collection.

The Astor + Tyne AW17 launch was received to an amazing response from the attendees, mentioning the innovative style, couture quality, and modern edge influences throughout the range.
The AW17 is now available from their local stockists, in their online store, and coming soon to Victoria and New South Wales.
