Can I just say how much I would love to see a bride wearing the incredible striped gown from Australian designer Carla Zampatti above? The Carla Zampatti Spring Summer 2013 collection is modern, stylish and so very chic – all the things I have come to adore about this designer.

Spring/Summer 2013 is filled with elegantly styled luxury. Brocade gowns and jackets, bold striped pieces in black and white, elegant crepe numbers and dashes of glimmering gold. There’s even modernly designed dashes of lace – for something more traditional with a twist. If there isn’t the hit of bold black or the starkness of white there’s interesting texture and playful tailored shapes.
