Why compromise on the things that will be closest to your skin, day in day out?
Dizingof is a Melbourne based label established in 1999. It is an Australian-owned label, designed solely by Haim Bzezinski, produced in Australia, and prides itself on "keeping local manufacturing alive".
Miss Aida is a huge fan of the label and having gone with her to the VIP Night at the QV store (despite the majority of new season clothes being waaaay out of my budget) I can now see why! The quality of the fabrics were amazing, but it's the versatility of the clothing that really sells it - the staff enthusiastically demonstrate how a brocade jacket could be worn in about eight different ways, how a skirt could not only double as a dress but also be wrapped and draped about the body in a multitude of flattering ways, and how a top could be worn inside out to astonishing effect.
Now if only I was earning an extra few hundred dollars a week! I did settle on an obi and a crisp white frilly shirt, though even with the 20% VIP discount I was very close to throwing my monthly budget out the window. That was a while ago now, and I am still salivating over "the ones that got away". Oh, the temptation!
This is a look I can never get tired of! Those eyelashes - just wow. Time to unleash that inner bombshell. Va-va-voom!
