Off To The Races With OnceWas


OUTDOOR EVENTS, SUMPTUOUS COLOURS AND A NEW DRESS CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING!
Rachel remarks “I loved spending time with Bel and the OnceWas team styling the Riviera Collection. The collection is the perfect mix of relaxed glamour which means it works for so many occasions and lifestyles. I love the way Bel has created it so it can be worn to events like Melbourne Cup Carnival or out to a special lunch but it can also be part of your everyday wardrobe. The beautiful D'Azur blouse with the matching Jolie skirt would be stunning for the Melbourne Cup with a classic headpiece or with a straw hat for Stakes Day. Then after the event, I'd team the skirt with a t-shirt and sandals for everyday wear. So much of the collection offers this flexibility.”
Belinda tells us “Teamed with the gorgeous designs from Rachel Henry, I have had so much fun styling my favourite looks for the upcoming race days. After the last few years of lockdowns in Melbourne, the anticipation for this year's Races feels more exhilarating than ever!”“Our newest collection is full of beautiful mix and match pieces, punchy patterns and a wide variety of cuts to compliment all body shapes. Designed with versatility in mind, they are head-turning, easy-wearing & trans-seasonal.”“Although I like to stay abreast of international fashion trends, I believe in designing investment pieces that can be worn season after season in a variety of ways, mixing and blending back with wardrobe updates. With the multitude of mass produced, disposable fashion brands on the market, particularly around this event season, our customers turn to us for something unique to wear, knowing that we create versatile pieces in small quantities to ensure that we can help them style their own unique event look. Because of the versatility & timelessness of each piece, our customers know that their purchase will last well beyond the racing season”
