Australian Fashion Week Revisited...Back to School

Not sure if this was her old school blazer or not (mmm maybe it looks a little too neat and well-fitted to be a school blazer! In my experience they are always a bit more "roomy" so parents don't have to keep buying new ones ;) but since it is Back to School for loads of UK students this week, I couldn't resist posting this photo.

Australian Fashion Week 2010 Revisited...The Stylestalker Girls

The girls behind Aussie label, Stylestalker, Sue-Ann San and Rachel Zeilic. Stylestalker is stocked in Selfridges (go girls!) in the UK but you can also buy online.

Rachel wearing the aptly named Wet t-shirt dress (it poured with rain just before I took these photos. You can see the little droplets of water on Sue-Ann's face!)

Australian Fashion Week 2010....Lucy

For me, photographing people is only part of the equation. Getting to know people afterwards is another part: strangers become friends. I love getting emails from people telling me about their successes (exams, graduations, new jobs, travel, babies!), plans for the future, and frustrations (always a chance for me to share my own ;).

And sometimes the news isn't always happy. I met Lucy while I was in Australia, and last week she emailed with some tragic family news. Lucy is about to set off for her new life in New York later this week and I just want to send out big, big hugs and wish her every happiness.
