Top 5 Trends from LMFF 2012

IT seems like just yesterday that the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival took place with its unforgettably striking runways, uplifting beats and awe-inspiring designs.

But as we bid farewell to LMFF this year, we can comfort ourselves in the knowledge that we now know what will be making fashion waves this winter. What’s even better is that we’ve done all the legwork and scoured the streets to find this winter’s hottest trends for a price tag that won’t break the budget.

So read on, take notes and enjoy a bit of retail therapy!
