Neon reds and tangerines have hotted up the runway at the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
Designer Bianca Spender fashioned a trench and high waisted skirt out of screaming bright orange and a strapless leather dress with a flowing skirt was another key piece in her collection.
A tomato red belted playsuit was the star of sister and brother design duo Camilla Freeman Topper and Marc Freeman's offering, which also featured a burgundy and black winter print.
Michael Lo Sordo opted for playful pastels and monochrome, showing a fairy floss pink merino coat, black blazer with leather detail and white midriff top paired with relaxed white pants.
He described the collection as pared back with a focus on fit and how garments sculpt to the body.
"People would think it's plain to the eye but the amount of development and work that went into the clothing to drape it, to put the boning in - it's classic with a little bit of a twist but super wearable," Lo Sordo said.
"I just think about the Michael Lo Sordo woman ... she is a traveller, she moves, she's got this, she's got that - she is a busy woman."
Lo Sordo last week won $10,000 and a trip to New York when he was crowned Emerging Designer of the Year at the BT Fashion Awards.
He started his brand four years ago and now the label is stocked in stores in New York, London and Singapore.
The Sydneysider has aligned himself with coffee brand Lavazza and wants to take his brand into other areas like homewares or accessories.
"I really want to build a concept around it," he said.
