We featured this item in our newsletter this week, along with a curated collection of our favourite vintage and vintage-inspired items from the site. There's a new theme every week, so if you'd like to be kept in the loop, sign up below!

Lo's Spring/Summer collection 2014-15 at #MBFWCT

We were like proud aunties the day the invitation to the Lo 2014-15 Spring/Summer collection at MBFWCT arrived in our inboxes - we get so warm and fuzzy when awesome things happen to our designers!

So when the day rolled round we tarted up in our best cerise pink lipstick and gold leather pencil skirts and made our way to the CTICC - and I have to say, CTICC, you clean up nice.

What was just as awesome is that on arrival we ran into one of our favourite photographic fundi duo's, The Dollie House - don't they look fabulous?

(And then there's a gratuitous photo of hundreds of Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chair replicas, because *swoon.*)

We were blown away once the show started, and were *those* people in amongst the fab fashionistas who were whooping and whistling like lunatics.

I do love a good scalloped edge, and enjoyed seeing it as a repeated motif throughout the show - the clothes were fresh and easy to wear with a sporty edge. There was one Little Red Dress that was practically screaming my name from the runway! The clean, linear elements that are Lo's signature were complimented with really fun prints, that made me long for poolside Summer sundowners.

There she is! We scooped her up for a glass of bubbly afterwards to celebrate - well done Elzanne! We're so proud of you and your collection. Upwards and onwards!
