Nicola Finetti talks to My Gasoline Rainbow about GCFW

 High Summer Collection
In the lead up to Gold Coast Fashion Week, My Gasoline Rainbow speaks to the incredibly talented and extremely expressive Nicola Finetti, who, as one of the headlining designers is just as excited to be involved in the event as we are to have him. Here is a little Q & A as answered in his words...


We will have a more in depth chat with Nicola during Fashion Week so stay tuned.


Q. Is this your first Gold Coast Fashion week?
Yes it is. Very exciting to be involved.
Q. What do you believe defines Gold Coast style?
The sun and beaches. 
Q. Is there a piece/pieces from your collection that you feel are particularly “Gold Coast”?
I believe all pieces from the collection can be worn here (Gold Coast). Everything has a different feeling and different people can wear the collection as feelings dictate.

Q. You are typically inspired by contrast - what contrasts have you observed on the Gold Coast? Are they inspirational?
Contrasts are opposite and all the time I am attracted by opposites I love snow, but sunny days give me pleasure and abandon. A person can be inspirational she is completely opposite of my sense of dressing.
Q. What is your favourite fashion season to create for?
I love to create and it does not matter the season, what matters is the creative mood.
Q. Teresa Palmer was recently snapped in one of your pieces, is there an Aussie personality that typically embodies the Nicola Finetti style?
I think  anyone and everyone can embody the Nicola Finetti style as it accentuates your personality and makes resplendent your persona.


Well Nicola, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me, you certainly do know how to capture femininity and strength and make a woman look radiant, can't wait to meet you and see your collection on the runway. See you next week!

BEAUTY QUEEN

For years I've always been told how lucky I was to have such good skin. And for years I always blew the compliments off with a casual thank you. As I get older, I now cherish those compliments knowing how lucky I actually am.  Catching up with family, specifically the older generations I realise that it's all in the genes. My 85 year old grandfather doesn't look a day over 70, his younger sister who turned 70 this year looks barely 55 and my mum, who probably won't want me revealing her age haha is looking the best she has in years (in fact most people think she's lying when she reveals she has a 34 year old daughter!). I am blessed with the obviously magic youth genes from my mothers side but also the genes from my fathers side which carries the Native American heritage - which I believe are forever youthful. Most people think i'm in my mid-late 20's and i'm happy with that ;-) Everyone is different, so I thought I would share my daily ski...

HAVE YOU HEARD?

After a crazy weekend of celebrating our friends Hen's and Bucks (needless to say the chores and shopping didn't get done) - the boy came home from a long day's work and being the good girlfriend I am (hehe) I suggested take out for dinner. But rather than doing the standard McDonalds or Hungry Jacks, we decided to order delivery from Menulog  a fabulous new take-away food and delivery website that has a huge range of local restaurants available to order from the click of a button. Step 1.  Type in your postcode (see image below) Step 2.  A list of restaurants available to order from depending on your location - both takeaway and delivery appear for you to choose from (see image below) Labrador Delivery Step 3. You choose your restaurant and order the scrumptious food! There was a decent selection to choose from, however we went with ALs Convenience Aussie & Indian Takeaway which has a mixture of cuisine which was perfect fo...

Style heavyweights interviewed especially for the film include Easton Pearson 's Lydia Pearson, Sass and Bide 's Heidi Middleton, and Nicky and Simone Zimmermann . The public launch will take place on Monday 3 March. I got the chance to have a quick chat to Stylist Josh Jones who was involved with the project about what he had to say...
