We wholeheartedly appreciate a designer who doesn't take things too seriously — and Ingrid Verner knows a thing or two about having fun with her collections.
We were lucky enough to chat with the designer in the lead-up to her AAFW 'Lost Resort' show yesterday and then we sent CPC pal Ryan Cullen backstage to snap the very cute collection — get a load of the nostalgic and eyecatching prints in the gallery above!
How would you describe your label in a sentence?
VERNER provides light relief at times when it is most needed.
Did you have a particular person in mind when designing this collection?
Anyone with a sense of humour.
Most exciting and most overwhelming thing about fashion week?

Any final words for everyone who helped out with your show?
