Dr. Denim Collection Launch

The  latest jeasnwear collection from Swedes Dr. Denim has launched at Somewhere. Alongside that skinny-legged, dark-washed arrival was the birth of “Salad Days”. Billed as short film, Salad Days is actally a cinematic-style promo for the label in the same vein as Chanel’s recent advertising efforts with Nicole Kidman and Marion Cotillard. The story is [...]

Mouse in the (Pent)house

Who   knew a mouse could be such a transformative little creature? Many of you may know Penthouse Mouse as the multitude of events housed in a random warehouse space during LMFF. This year PHM moves into more refined digs, setting up home-base in the old Naval and Military Club Building (27 Little Collins street, [...]

Hunt for the Ultimate Coffee: Sensory Lab

We Melburnians like to lay claim to being Australia’s capital of many things: fashion, food, sport, festivals, culture and coffee. We do love our lattes (in a glass) and like to think we have adapted a European-style, cafe culture to our casual way of life. There are many in this town who are very serious [...]

LMFF Designer Award Finals 2010

To re-cap the finalists for the coveted award are Lui Hon, Dion Lee, Gail Sorronda, Dhini Couture, Gary Bigeni, Konstantina Mittas and Therese Rawsthorne.
I was greeted by [...]

LMFF Official Program Launch

So  it begins (again). The L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival officially launched its 2010 program yesterday morning in sunny Federation Square. In a further democratisation of fashion the event was open to the public for the first time ever – though a lot of designer faces were spotted among the crowds. As Festival Chair Laura Anderson explains they are [...]

Painted Lady

This  is how I spent the eve of Australia Day. Painting the town (well, the warehouse space of 1000 £ Bend at least) – not red – but a delicious shade of mauve. A rare experience, Melburnians were led to the secret location of the Paint Party by navigation site Whereis through a series [...]

Style Spotting at the Australian Open

It  doesn’t have to be all bare, bronzed backs draped in flags at the tennis. Nor does it have to be a competition to see who can wear the most titillating sportswear on centre court. The Australian Open can still be a place to scout some fresh summer looks. Our prime position for a spot of style [...]

Lady Petrova

I caught up with designer Petrova Hammond late last year to see how her return to running a business by herself and renaming her label Lady Petrova (as opposed to just Lady) was progressing. Overtly things are much the the same; the rainbow rather than rose-coloured view of the world that both her boutique [...]

Welcome to the New Era

Melbourne certainly gave us a natural fireworks show last night and, with a crack of thunder and a spark of lightening, washed away the last vestiges of 2009. Hello 2010! I hope you will be a year (and the start of a whole new shiny decade) to remember.
January 1st seems like a fitting time to [...]
