Allanah Hill… vintage inspired Autumn/Winter collection

One of my favourite Australian designers is Allanah Hill. She has always had a very whimsical, retro feel to her clothing and accessory lines and this Autumn/Winter is no exception with some pieces inspired by the 30s, 40s and 50s. I am always scared to go into her store as I want to buy so many things!

I did get this lovely late 30s inspired ‘Busy in the Head’ silk blouse to wear with my wide flowing trousers. Has a great 30s resort feel to it. AH is also famous for her amazing knitwear. Much of it has a 50s look but there are some 30s inspired pieces this season too.

You can find Allanah Hill here.
