What an exciting day... Zara in Melbourne FINALLY opened and it was not a disappointment (well only for those who spent half the day in the line) The crowd was quite well behaved considering the numbers and there were rave reviews and hundreds of Zara bags all around Bourke St mall. Watch out retailers- you are in for some SERIOUS competition! We at bennywithlove welcome the arrival of the Spanish giant and are super excited about the quality apparel that will soon be gracing out streets! <3
to finish off a glorious day... a little more random photography

ZARA BOURKE STREET MALL MELBOURNE IS OPENING JUNE 15TH!
Bourke Street Zara...
You heard it here first!!!!!!!
The shop fittings are almost finished and the signs are up!
Get in quick- when doors opened in Sydney 80% of stock disappeared in the first 3 minutes!!!
For those of you who are not familiar with Zara, i’m sure you will soon be just as excited as me when you see their amazing range of stock.
It takes a mere 2 weeks for the Spanish born mecca to create a garment from sketch to shelf.
I just hope the Australian range is as good as the European stock!!!!!
Save your pennies ladies its FINALLY HERE!!!
<3 Benny!

LMFF 2011 DAY 1 - FASHION FULL STOP
In a herd of gazelle the worker bees fly around fluffing and primping the wearable art that is couture. It's LMFF kids and we are in for an exciting week!!!
The energy backstage was electrifying as the show was pieced together with musical performances, dancers and of course runway. 350 garments were on display last night and every piece out shone the last. Each outfit was meticulously put together by magazine editors and stylists. (cough cough vogue)
The show was an ode to fashion, a retrospective visiting the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and the now.
Heres some footage for last night- the finished product. amazing!
... a few snappy pics from backstage, unfortunately they are all from behind, but hey better than nothing oui?
Headlining was none other than Australia’s newest model sweetheart, Samantha Harris and boy did she shine. Backstage she was quiet and reserved, mainly standing alone and focusing on the job at hand. When the show started she was transformed into an almost Amazonian beauty.
Tall slim and utterly gorgeous. I made it my mission that night to get a photo with her and although the quality is seedy (thankyou poor backstage lighting, smoke machine and iphone) the photo is one i'll treasure.
Samantha and I
note the similarities in the chubby cheeks! The one time in my life I have been proud to have chubby cheeks!
