I have to credit Australian singer Montaigne for my first introduction to macgraw. She described their aesthetic as “a blend between Amish chic and stately caszj.” They were responsible for Montaigne’s “dracula pirate” look at Splendour In The Grass last year. Since the label has been on my radar, it’s exploded, macgraw won the 2016/17 International Woolmark Prize Australia & New Zealand for womenswear, and they continue to dominate Australia’s fashion landscape with a clever balance of strong romance and practical street dressing with a flourish of ruffles. Please, tie us in ribbons or lose us forever, but please don’t ever lose the fervour.
Here are our favourite looks from macgraw’s runway show on Tuesday;
