David Jones has a Spring in it's step.

Today marked day one of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, and the first runway honour was this year given to fashion powerhouse David Jones. The mega fashion-house that "Is.Always.Was" Australian proved just why they are big in the fashion world, showcasing Australian designers like Kate Spade, Tony Bianco, Nine West, Lipstik, Dion Lee, Carl Kapp, Florsheim, Jack London, Milana, Calibre, Willow & Carla Zampatti just to name a few.

David Jones ambassadors Jesinta Campbell & Erin Freedman hosted and commentated the event, while we saw two of the four faces of MSFW, Jake & Emily, strut the runway alongside Nadia Coppolino, Silvana Lovin & David Jones ambassador Samantha Harris.

The runway showcased just what David Jones has to offer for this upcoming racing season, and with as Erin put it "the best in local and international brands" it is hard to see why you wouldn't go to the one-stop-shop for your race wear gear.

Clothes from the runway provided by Belmondo, Bianca Spender, Calibre, Camilla & Marc, Carl Kapp, Carla Zampatti, Collette Dinnigan, Duchamp, Fiona by Fiona Powell, Gregory Ladner, Hardy Amies, Jack London, Josh Goot, Lover, Max Alexander, Mimco, Morgan & Taylor, Nerida Winter, Perri Cutten, Philip Treacy, SABA, Scanlan & Theodore, Ted Baker, Thomas Pink, Thurley, Trelise Cooper, Ward & Wylie, West End by Simon Carter, Willow & Zimmerman.
