Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2012

The Australian Fashion Week started with a KAPOW!!!! as fashion designer brand Romance Was Born presented their SS12/13 collection titled 'Beserkergang!'.

This collection was inspired by the colourful Marvel Comic characters - Doctor Strange, The Incredible Hulk and Thor to name a few. How many can you see and name on the above outfit? Loving the matching cuffs.

The collection begins in monochrome in honour of the first issues of the Marvel Comics which also started in shades of black, white and grey. Look at the Incredible Hulk pecks on the first outfit!
The Kirby Dots effect is used in honour of legendary comic artist Jack Kirby who created the dots formations to illustrate explosions and other moving effects. Here it is used for shading and toning.

And like the comics, colour packs a powerful punch with bright yellow and black flying to the rescue followed by cyan and magenta, with shimmering gold stealing the end of the show.
