Outfits of the Week

 M A R N I

Here at The Frock Exchange, we want to celebrate our favourite things about Marni. 15 years after it's foundation, Marni has proven that they have the perfect outfit for every occasion. Often regarded as a label for women to wear for themselves (and other women), Marni's original geometric, eccentric prints astound the fashion world every season. The label is also a favourite of Belinda, who exclusively runs the Australian Marni flagship store in Double Bay. This week, we have collected our favourite Marni pieces in store to create looks for different events...



Marni necklace, dress and boots - perfect for a wedding or special occasion.



These outfits are appropriate for the office, while still remaining stylish!



Wear these ensembles out to a cocktail party or out to drinks with friends.



Dress it down with a simple dress or trousers for a day of shopping!

Early June Inspiration

Joanna Newsom, the lovely harpist and singer from California is our muse this week! In particular, her song Peach, Plum, Pear which are the colours we have drawn inspiration from for our outfits of the week. Miss Newsom is also a fashion enthusiast, and when asked by Vogue Italy about her dream outfit to wear onstage, her answer was "mid-seventies Yves Saint Laurent. Rive Gauche, Ballet Russes".
