Bianca Spender headed a long linened table of media and curious friends at Melbourne icon The European to introduce her A/W 2015 collection this morning. It was a launch done the old fashioned way; relaxed, elegant, and eloquent explanations. The classic beauty, daughter of Carla Zampatti, is a thoughtful veteren of 14 years designing, including three spent up to her curls in French classicism in Paris. That she did not own or wear a T-shirt until the age of 35 is a small clue to her fastidious sartorial aesthetic which manages to appear striking (a flight jacket in Lurex, a "T shirt gown" cut in leather and jersey with the lushness and swing of a Ginger Rogers dance cozzie et. al.) but never strapped by her purebone design philosophy. #biancaspender #fashion #classicswithatwist #melbournestyle (at The European Melbourne)
