SYDNEY, May 3, 2005/ FW/ --- Old worldly romance comes from Australian fashion icon Akira.

Held at the Sydney dance company, superlative ballerinas dance in Akira magnificence to 14 piano scores.

In his traditional cool earthy color palette and volume plays with silhouettes while asymmetry transforms simplicity into something special.

Light fabric petals are cut and layered for skirts and the beauty of leaf veins in sunlight become bodice and motif keeping the Akira tempo perfectly in tune with costume designers taste.

Piano notes are bought to life, twirled and romanced while the earth remains the central inspiration of this emotional concerto. Piano scrolls are printed onto softness, folded organza plays with transparency leaving girlish ruffles to follow recent European trends of soft lines and celebrated femininity.
