The new Bendon launch had the writers of thread spellbound.

Naughty and nice- with a bit of nasty…Bendon’s launch had models parading the bewitching coming collections with a “Spellbound” theme and a Spring in their step. The catwalk preview of this summer’s collections showcased their brands Bendon, Elle Macpherson Intimates, Fayreform and Hey Sister but sadly for all the women media honeys present, no ‘Elle Macpherson Men’ models strutted the stuff being filled by plastic male torsos lining the walls.

Rhapsody from Bendon pictured above

The models of Bendon are well known for their diversity in body size. And, like the picture above from the current Bendon line, the vintage look is definitely hot. Corsets are very very hot too. Lots of details are popular this year.

Key trends include motif vine prints, layered fabrics in floaty fabrications, flowing silks, intricate laces, ruffles and jewels. This season, more than ever before, the lines are blurred between outerwear and underwear with exquisite statement pieces that are designed to be seen.

This year - think romance, chic, vintage and the temptress.
