When I found out I would be attending the final event of the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival I was rather excited. It didn’t matter what the event was because I knew it would be a wild, extravagant party and a spectacular climax of glamour and beauty. I knew that when I left the venue on [...]
Vagrant Fashion
As many of you may know, back in the days when grunge was the ‘it’ thing amongst angsty’ teens, a label became apparent, and that was ‘homeless chic.’ As the years passed and teenage rebellion turned to other genres such as screamo, emo and death metal, the homeless chic look seemed to fall from the [...]
Leonard Street A/W 09 review
Inspirations from past decades with an exclusivity and modern twist. An extensive collection of warm, stylish staples which Leonard St manages to make distinct. An array of coats and jackets in almost every style and forget black and grey, prepare for red and cream leather, teal and fuchsia. A teal ‘Lieutenant’ jacket is an authority [...]
High Tea on High
There’s something so Alice in Wonderland about a High Tea. Alice was a guest at the tea party of the Mad Hatter and the March Hare eating cupcakes and several cups of tea. She was surrounded by nonsense. I was a guest at the City of Stonnington’s High Tea on High (that’s High Street Malvern) [...]

L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival; Runway 7
By the time we get around to the official runway that is both lucky number seven and lucky last for the festival, you just know who the hard core fashion-philes are. It’s almost time to rest our weary-yet-coiffed heads and heels for the week but first there is this one last official runway presentation to [...]

Bloom has just released two new nail polish shades as part of their designer collection in collaboration with songstress Jessica Mauboy. The first is an peacock green shade while the otehr has been descibed as “sangria red”, both have a lot of shimmer. A portion of each sale will be contributed to Children’s Hospital Foundation [...]
Refabricated Salon Show at New Model Beauty Queen
Refabricated is a show presented by the No Sweat Shop label, which provides local designers a chance to showcase their designs while at the same time educating and informing people about some of the ethical issues, which are often overlooked or ignored, associated with the fashion industry. Despite its somewhat serious undertones, the show was [...]
LMFF Independent Runway
Friday evening provided me with a very welcome change of pace. Some of Australia’s hippest and freshest designers displayed their far edgier than the norm wares at Docklands in the LMFF Independent Runway. It was so refreshing to view some of the top up and coming young things turn the predominantly feminine runway trends of [...]
