Gorgeous Sydney model Rachel Rutt features in the look book for fresh Australian label August St. The brand’s Winter 2012 collection is called “Navajo Dreaming” and takes aesthetic cues from the native American Indian culture through muted tones highlighted with sunset reds and burnt orange, abstract animal prints, and colourful textured weaves. Details like fringing, trim, embellishment turn up in well-measured doses without the Navajo inspiration becoming too ‘pastiche’.
The on-trend combo of downtown street style (black tie-cuff cargo trousers, jaunty fedoras and slouchy jumpers) with boho-chic drapery (kaftans, suede shorts, faux fur vest) and tailored separates makes for a cool, accessible collection. Even more accessible? The price point. The whole collection comes with an impressively affordable recommended retail price between $49.95 – $149.95.
