It’s fashion week down under, and the loudest buzz we’ve heard so far is coming from the direction of The Wharf Restaurant on Sydney Harbour…

The always theatrical Romance Was Born created an extravagant ‘under the sea’ theme complete with octopus hoodies and seashell studded heels…

Practical? Never. Brilliant? Definitely.

It’s like being at the Disneyland of fashion shows – most of the clothing more costumey than RTW – but perfectly executed. Especially when the sounds of Bat For Lashes set the soundtrack, with Prince’s Diamonds and Pearls for the finale. What more could you ask for from a show set by the sea?
