"Salute The Sun" Market HQ MBFFS 2013 Runway

Youth fashion basically screams "YOLO", with so many different styles and bright colours to choose from - as well as risking the oh-so-judgmental looks from older generations. Your youth is the perfect time to go crazy with fashion, and seeing Market HQ's runway show "Salute The Sun" last week at the MBFFS, I really saw the meaning behind the words "young, wild and free".

Market HQ hosts a multitude of notable Australian brands tailored for the youth such as Evil Twin, MinkPink, and Bless'ed Are The Meek.

So, naturally, after I'd experienced the MBFWA Trends show at MBFFS, I immediately (impulsively!) bought a ticket to the Market HQ show. And what a great impulse buy! The show was an explosion of colours, patterns and prints. Not only did it follow on trend, but it encapsulated what I like to call "the youth spirit". The show began with an amazing street artist painting the Market HQ logo as a backdrop, and halfway through the show, street dancers came out of the audience and performed their dance-tastic moves on the catwalk.

The fashion in itself was an art explosion of on-trend styles such as monochrome, floral print, and fluoro colours. Once again, 90s fashion was back with fluro green jelly sandals, short crop tops and overalls. Personally, I've got my sights set on a new pair of overalls, and possibly one, two (or three) monochrome bomber jackets.
