FormalDressAustralia

Formaldressaustralia A-Line V-Neck Dark Navy Velvet Split Front Sweet Train Long Sleeve Sexy Formal Dress

Australia is best known for it’s incredible beaches, amazing surfing (and surfers) and beautiful people. Kangaroos and koalas may come to mind…Or possibly a beautiful opera house or diverse and luscious landscapes. Fashion, however, is not necessarily what might be your first thought. However, the Aussies are changing that.

Formaldressaustralia is an Australian go – to for all formal dresses. No matter the event, this company can guarantee you a creation that will make you the belle of the ball.

The company has been recognized in their country for their designs. With a focus on draping and with very close attention to detail, every dress is sure to stun. From long to short options, from body-con to airy and floaty, to mermaid cuts and backless dresses, the options for dressing seem endless.  The Formal Dresses 2018 collection offers fashion forward styles and exclusive designs that are perfect for any fashionable, contemporary young woman.  Sizes are just as diverse as their designs. With plus size options, no girl is left without a plethora of options for any and every occasion.

Overall, glamorous styling, exquisite embroidery, and dramatic cuts are all innovative. Known in the land down under as the shop that offers “the largest selection of stunning formal dresses,” it is incredible to see so much under one link!

Pricing is just as impressive as their designs.  They have created a brand that can be considered “Affordable Luxury,” and the brand has become one of the most sought-after online boutiques.  Their dedication to creating a collection with endless pieces to select, plus unbeatable prices and excellent customer service (one, the moment you arrive at their site there is a personal service chat member that contacts you via a chat box to ensure that your shopping experience is perfect and can answer any question you may have, and two the site is  very easy to navigate and arranged in a coherent manner), it is no wonder that FormalDressAustralia is helping to elevate Australia in the fashion game.

Edible Attire

Works from "Ishzone" Ishara Jayakody's first exhibition, "Edible Attire"

Coming off of a successful exhibition on her home continent of Australia, artist Ishara Jayakody opens her first exhibit in NYC later this week. Food and fashion collided as innovative Jayakody experimented with taste-bud favorites, igniting many-a-sweet tooth along the way, in her first exhibition, entitled "Edible Attire." Gaining only five pounds in the process, tech-met-art-met-fashion-met-culinary genius as this delicious first bite in the industry.  Her next project, to be unveiled on Tuesday, May 13 and named Ingredients of NYC (information for attendance: here), explores the culinary culture, the energy and empowerment of the city, and what exactly fuels New York.
