The Maitland Mercury has just turned its masthead blue in recognition as part of an initiative driven by Fairfax, to support Beyond Blue. Today is Mental Health Awareness Day and as such an important, and often neglected cause, it's time to spread the word.
There's a trend emerging from the close of fashion week in Paris where black and blue have been paired together for a whole new look. Last season it was all about navy. This season, it's like the colour wheel has been exposed.
Miu Miu was the first to emerge with this kaleidoscopic creation, and there's a lot to be said for it's versatility and forgiving silhouette.
Celine was the focus of many a fashion editor this season, due to it's overwhelming success in the last round of collections in February. Again, black and blue were coupled together to magnificent effect, although I'm not sure if this range will be as globe-sweeping as the last.
Dries Van Noten always gives us flowers and silk, mixed back with linen and wool or beautiful cotton to makes us all sigh. I couldn't say this collection quite hit the spot like last season's did, but there's no denying his signature is long lasting and inventive, even for the most stayed of seasons.
Vionnet is the label that everyone is turning to for inspiration when it comes to party dresses. There's special occasion a plenty for this collection, minus the awkward poses displayed by the model.
And last but not least, Stella McCartney has taken her denim threads through a new cycle of chic once again, and dotted them throughout a very basic set of blazers and cropped tailored pants. She's not exactly giving us anything new either, but her dresses with thigh high splits and pleats did give reason to take a double glance.
It's all in the mix, just the right formula.
