Intro written in 2021: As condensation evaporates from the air and the eagerness of events returning gives us shivers of excitement, it's time to once again start planning our picture-perfect outfits for SS21. With the return of the VOGUE Festival, the announcement of Bloom Festival, wine tours ramping up and the holiday season fast approaching - why not support our local designers and labels when shopping up a storm and spending your pretty pennies?
Although I already know you're an ASIO-level social media investigator, I've compiled the list of local Adelaide brands and their social media handles so you can save their Insta posts and pull from their online lookbook for future shopping sprees.
If there's a brand that absolutely needs to be added to the list, please drop their @ in the comments below or email me at theiconicblonde@hotmail.com and I'll update.
