Their upcoming collection is all dark washes, indigo and inky hues. Their clean coloured jeans are styled with patchwork numerals, cuffs and hands entrenched in [...]
Streetlab Launch at Deck 10
Trailing after Melbourne Spring Fashion week, and the frivolity and carnival atmosphere that comes with it, is the industry-only Fashion Exposed exhibition meaning it is time to well and truly get back to business. It’s three solid days of networking and hoping you can grab buyer (or media attention) while manning your own little booth [...]

Sportsgirl Launch
Sportsgirl is entering the New-G. That’s the new generation. Melbourne, despite being the shopping mecca it is (Sydney, you lose), has always sadly lagged behind its international counterparts.

Cute Tees for Spring
A failsafe outfit for a casual weekend is a great fitting pair of jeans, comfy shoes (trusty converse are a particular fave!) or sweet ballet flats teamed with a plain white tee and a simple black blazer. But, plain white/grey/black tees can be boring, which is why I went on a mission to find some [...]

MSFW: Modern Odyssey Official Parade
As the end of week, “edgier” official runway parade at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week for 2008, the Modern Odyssey show presented a range of names probably largely unknown to those outside the fashion set (with the exception perhaps of Gail Sorronda courtesy Designers for Target) . That said they are hugely successful within it and, [...]
