text: In a show that could rival Sydney's light show 'Vivid', Carla Zampatti's SS15-16 collection made a splash at Sydney's Opera House today to celebrate the designer's 50 years in fashion. The stunning presentation kicked off proceedings for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week that officially begins this Sunday, April 12. The collection is said to be a celebratory nod to the excessive glamour of the Eighties and features bold Indian Pinks, Buttercup Yellows and Electric Blues against a backdrop of Zampatti's signature black and white tailored pieces.
