Lady in blue

May 18, 2012 Contemporary business wear

Photographer chic at MBFWA

May 10, 2012 Australian Fashion Week (MBFWA)

Dearest BusiChic, While attending fashion shows might sound glamorous, the truth is that folks like me are in the less glam position of sitting in the media riser.

The perfect denier

May 3, 2012 Autumn

Today’s BusiChic is the quintessence of Contemporary Business Wear. Professional in a blazer but with enough timeless style to move on to drinks and dinner afterwork and it also got me thinking about the perfect denier for stockings. Denier is the term given to the density of fibres in a fabric like stockings. Now that [...]

Grey outfit, yellow roses

April 24, 2012 Autumn

Today on BusiChic, a stylish young lady whom I photographed while carrying a bunch of flowers! I like Kylie’s all grey ensemble as an alternative to my personal tendancy to wear all black. I also like how she wears her winter boots with a pair of black opaque stockings as I can’t say that I like the [...]
