Dion Lee at LMF

From the second Dion Lee's logo appeared in its blocky machine font and banging synthesised sounds started playing, we knew we were in for something futuristic in feel. Metal strips across the front of Lee's dresses had the look of cyborgish rib cages; at other times the metal sat across the knees of slim white pants. Fabrics and shapes had a sporty athleticism, and we noted something of an homage to Gucci Spring 2010 with the theme of cold metal on crisp white running through both.

As well as hitting the catwalk for L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF)'s Runway 2, Dion Lee also scooped the Vogue Designer Award (more from that event shortly).

Gwendolynne at LMFF

Gwendolynne manages to reinvent her signature style, time and again, with remarkable precision. Who at last night's L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) show could overlook the swishing silk gowns with thigh high slits, or the delicately beaded boleros; the draping cowl backs, and rows of tiny buttons; and one particular asymmetrical gown with a Grecian style drape and single shoulder? We certainly couldn't.

For those not present (or even for those who were) the detail shots that follow are certainly worth a closer look.

What happens when Diane Kruger meets Karl Lagerfeld? Vogue Germany holds the answer: the female dandy trend, complete with suits, ties and masculine hats.

Could A T-Shirt Really Banish Women From Wearing “Bad Bras”?

There is nothing worse than an ill fitting bra (see our guide to the best bras), so when Vogue UK reported that British designer Laura Lees was collaborating with bra brand Freya on a line of “banish bad bras” t-shirts, I was thrilled.

The graphic t-shirts are extremely cute, and feature clever images and text like “D trapped in a B” and “Four Boob.” All proceeds from the t-shirts go towards The Genesis Appeal, a U.K. breast cancer charity. Unfortunately, the t-shirts are only available in the U.K., but you can enter to win a t-shirt and help their mission on their fun and very informative The Holy Fit site. After you figure out your correct bra size, check out three t-shirt bras all under $50.

A basic bra doesn’t have to be ugly, and the champagne color on this Lilyette: Custom Fit Full Figure Underwire Bra ($34) will look good with our without a t-shirt.

This Maidenform: Custom Lift All Over Smoothing Push-up Bra ($25.50) will give you a clean line under your t-shirt and some extra lift.

The striped detailing and bow on this Felina: Emily T-Shirt Bra ($38) makes the bra adorable and sexy at the same time.

Jennifer Aniston Makes Flat Irons A Life Necessity, And We Couldn’t Agree More

Thanks to Jennifer Aniston, a flat-iron is as important as a bottle of water. According to the Daily Mail, the Office of National Statistics declared that flat irons will replace the blow dryer in the cost of living basket–an indicator used to determine price inflation on essential products. Apparently, Jennifer Aniston influenced this shift. While I don’t think Jennifer Aniston influenced my straight hair, I do know that when I broke my flat iron, I almost had a panic attack and I replaced it immediately. Whether you don’t have a flat iron (doubt it), you could always use an emergency backup, check out these three flat irons that will keep your hair straight, along with the best hair products, to help you stay sane.

This HairArt Ceramic Straightening Iron ($89.99) heats up in 15 seconds, and you can use it for straightening or curling.

I use my CHI flat iron religiously, and the CHI Air Pro Expert Classic Ceramic Flat Iron ($99.99) eliminates static and reduces frizz, and leaves your hair smooth and silky.

This Biosilk Ergonomic Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron ($78.99) has instant heat for quick styling, and it also seals the cuticles of the hair to repel humidity.
