FAUVISM

Think of Matisse, his strong c olours, wild lypainted brush strokes and simplicationsof subject are characteristics of thismo vem ent . The Fauves, which fromFrenc h translates as wild bea sts pa intedwithout considering the natural coloursof their subjects and were concerned

with expression over detail. Why not goslightly wild in full on colour, rich fabricsand over the top embellishments fromhead to to e for an a ll over playful look.

Voluminous, free-owing silks with organic lines,oral print with a technological twist, embellishmentconstructed in metal pieces, all in a variety of romantic,muted colours, and controlled in regimental royalty is:

When thinking of fashion inspired by QueenslandsGold Coast, Metre Maids aunting metallic bikinisand cowboy hats are undoubtedly the rst thingsthat spring to mind.

But for Gold Coast-based label blanc + delta thepracticality of dress that comes with roughing the sunand sand, need not be lost when it comes to highfashion.

The rst thing I ever made was my formal dress inyear 12.

I can remember going into the fabric shop and thelady told me not to bother trying, says Bianca Daly,the 24-year-old creative mind behind emerging labelblanc + delta.

She said Id never be able to make a dress if Idnever sewn before.

Ignoring the womans advice, Daly made a palepink gown of taffeta and organza, with a voluminousback and beading down the front.

Its kind of embarrassing now, but it was a niceachievement at the time, she says.

Fast forward a few years, and Daly has establishedher own fashion label, selling in-demand garments

that see little time on shop oors.

Daly launched blanc + delta during her nal yearof design school for entry into the exclusive couturecategory at the Australian Fashion Design Awards in2004.

She was chosen as a nationally telecast nalistamong more than 100 entrants, paving the way forachievements to come.

Daly went on to become a catwalk nalist in theprestigious Mercedes-Benz Start-up Competition in

2005 for her Winter 2006 collection.

To date, blanc + delta has seen two successfulRosemount Australian Fashion Week runway shows,including the Summer 07/08 Tears of an Arctic Princesscollection, which featured in the New Generationparade in May 2007, and the Winter 08 Espionagecollection, which was shown in the ready-to-wearcategory in October of the same year.

Despite her apparent success, Daly says shestarted the business without a single connection in

manufacturing, retail, or design.

Ive really learnt everything the hard way, she says.

I was battling to nd better suppliers for fabrics and

accessories and battling to nd manufacturers thatwere willing to sew something harder than a T-shirt.Aside from having to triumph over the challenges thatcome with running a business, Daly nds satisfactionin what she does, and maintains there are plenty ofgreat things that come with directing the label.

Getting to do something every day that Impassionate about, challenging myself with each newcollection to produce one better than the last, andcreating clothing which hopefully, people can feelgood wearing, she says.

There are lots of late nights and weekend work, butI love it!

For Daly, each season brings a new clash of differentelements, like her Summer 08/09 collection, which shesays was inspired by her Viennese travels.

The collection incorporates muses of ancient Greekand Egyptian mythology, Gustav Klimts artworks,and 70s rock music, all tied together to create verywearable couture.

Gone are the d ays of only be ing a ble to treatyourself to lunc h or dinner at a trend y ea tery.

Now, it s only a ma tter of choo sing whe ther toind ulge in b rea kfast a t one of Brisbane s ma nyc a fes, a delightful d essert, or sc one s a t a high teahotspot.

Freestyle Tout owner, Ma rtin Dunc an, says his friend sthought he w as c razy whe n he told them o f hislatest venture.

Crazy or not, Dunca n ha s had the last laug h a s hisdessert-dedicated restaurant is now overowing withswe et-too thed dessert love rs c raving tha t mouthfulof bliss.

Theres denitely more of a food culture in Brisbanenow. And there a re a who le lot o f dessert junkies outthe re, he says.

It see ms the se d essert junkies a lso ha ve a penc ha ntfor their swe ets stac ked ta ll, with the p heno me non

Owner of Clayelds High Societea, Kathy Heath,ta kes full responsibility for bring ing high tea to a newgeneration of people seeking the ner things in life.

With massive mufns and triple shot coffeesnowa days, it s so refreshing to b ring bac k a sense o fc lass, she says.

Classy it is.

Within 10 minutes of setting foot inside High Societea,its as if someone icked the behaviour switch, andeve ryone o ne is wa tc hing their Ps and Q s .

It is a return to a time when things we re d onewith style bec ause to do othe rwise wa s simp ly

unthinkable, Heath says.

Everyone is c ashing in on the trend with theStamford Plaza, The Marriot Hotel, and JosephAlexanders a ll offering a high tea servic e.

But if savoury over swe et and b ig over b ite sized ispreferable, then breakfast is it.

Many restaurants and cafes, such as Salt inRosa lie, Ca mp o s in Fortitude Va lley, and Ano uk inPadd ington, now solely foc us on the mo rning m ea l.

Having previously owned breakfast hotspot, The GunShop Caf in West End, Whelan knows a thing or twoabo ut the la mode movement.

Socially, peoples attitude to breakfast hasc hange d , she says.

Whether its a c hang e in attitude or a c hang e inthe ec ono my, foo d c ritic, Jan Pow er, puts this trenddown to money.
