Laura Dundovic stuns at fashion show as she shows off gorgeous looks in vibrant citrus colours

She's been seen working hard on her health and fitness regime in recent weeks.
And on Wednesday Laura Dundovic was in top form at Kookai's Sydney Carriageworks Fashion Show.
Not only was her slim physique impressive as usual, but the 26-year-old Miss Universe Australia winner stunned on the red carpet in her colourful and vibrant ensemble.

Her ravishing Kookai dress featured a mixture of purple and orange leaf designs, a standout eyecatching among the mostly monochrome outfits worn to the show.
Laura teamed her garb with a pair of purple heels and lipstick and blush is rose shades.
Her beautiful blonde locks were worn wavy, and complimented the sparkling gold YSL purse she carried.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at the event, Laura said she's expanded her exercise regime in recent months.
'I used to be all about running...it's equally important to be concentrating on things like flexibility as well so I do yoga now,' she explained before adding 'I also do dancing on the weekend - so for me exercise is never a chore.'
The beauty pageant winning bombshell was joined at the event by the likes of Demi Harman, Anna Heinrich and Laura Csortan.
White and black was the name of Demi's game, as the Home And Away star sported a silky striped top over a black skirt.
In following with the theme, her white heels featured black ankle straps. Demi added some colour to her stylish look with a touch of red lipstick.
She posed happily with television presenter Laura Csortan, who wore a long sleeved white jumpsuit.
Sporting a similar design to Laura was former Hi-5 star Casey Burgess - though she traded in sleeves for longer leggings.
Also opting for an almost all white look was The Bachelor's Anna Heinrich - who appeared at the event unaccompanied by Tim Robards.
She wore a patterned skirt underneath a sleeved top - and, ever a stickler for detail, donned painted white nails to the event. Only her black stilettos kept her outfit from being completely white.
Like Dundovic, 2008's Australia's Next Top Model Demelza Reveley and 2013 Miss World Australia Erin Holland added some colour to the night.
Demelza wore a green skirt, while Erin wore a bright baby blue dress.

Creativity Without Commercial Restraints at SCAD’s Annual Student Fashion Show

SCAD
The Savannah College of Art and Design has acquired some eighty buildings since its inception in 1978—many of which are historic, and so spread out that a campus tour requires a car—and the development is showing no signs of slowing down. The facilities are even more impressive. Fashion students are trained on state-of-the-art laser cutters, 3-D printers, and every type of textile and fiber contraption the mind can imagine. All of that has made SCAD a hot spot of emerging fashion talent, which the school proudly displayed at Saturday night’s annual student fashion show.
Beverly Sung’s pleated, asymmetrical dresses (above, left) were a respectable nod to Issey Miyake. Sculptural, digital printed dresses from Wenxia Wang and Zenobia Duncan (below, left) were equally impressive. Elaine Lui, a former Alexander Wang intern, drew creativity from her native Hong Kong, with mesh-overlaid streetwear covered with prints of electric wiring and light-up LCD details built into the clothes (above, right). Across the board, fabric innovation was the big story here—burned Lycra, hand-plisséd skirts, digitally printed boiled wool. Dean of Fashion Michael Fink told us, “What sets this year apart is that there is so much textile and fiber development. The fashion students are actually making their own textiles in collaboration with our Fibers students.”

One-on-ones with the designers after the show afforded an opportunity to hear their stories and inspirations. Michael Mann’s conceptual menswear referenced football, a comment on the offense and defense he struggled between while being bullied as a teen. Wesley Berryman’s parents drove eight hours from rural Tennessee to come see him show androgynous creations that might feel at home on a rack beside Rick Owens and Gareth Pugh (above, right). Berryman’s mother told us, “I don’t know where he got his fashion sense—definitely not from me! When we used to go to Walmart [to buy clothes], I was always worried he would put up a fight! But really, I just want to support my son.”

The real joy in seeing a student fashion show like SCAD’s is the opportunity to witness creativity without the commercial restraints many professional designers face. Free from the pressure of having to “sell” anything, and enabled by a supportive faculty and cutting-edge facilities, SCAD’s runway served as a rare, unfettered fashion moment.
