Sometimes living in the southern hemispere can allow us down under to try the freshest trends almost as soon as we can search the op shops to re-create a look, but sometimes by the time the sun is out I have forgotten my favorite spring/summer O8 catwalks and have to go back to style.com and re-flick. I just re-deiscovered my fav New York casual daywear designer. High waists, sleeveless shirts, mini tribal prints clashing with muted monotone abstract shapes in chatreuse, dusty pink and nearly neon yellow are just some of the colours and prints packed into this dress up box of flavours. My task for this week is to try and work the mini skirt over the safari shorts.

I wait for the day when Jerry finally takes Mick back. She tried with that toy boy show to replace one of the best dressed men in history, and he has some other Amazonian who occasionally stands next to him but its time they finally went on a family boat trip. I saw Lizzy up close at a fashion show and was busted staring mouth agape about a meter in front of her. I love her inherited mothers mane and her fathers kissable lips. And it’s obvious that Lizzy and Georgia have dipped into the family archives to create their own amazing wardrobes. 

I first came across TV when my friend in London- Paulie, was wearing a dreamcatches necklace that caught and hypnotized both of my eyes. Being away from Melbourne for two years I had missed the rise of what is turning out to be my longest wish list for this winters wardrobe. I love the tan cotton jumpsuit and once I add my string tie it will complete my first Roman The Prophet outfit. The woolen turban stands at number one, it messes with my ideal country vibe but I have never liked myself in a beanie.  

Turns out TV have been creeping into a lot of peoples blog with their cool easy to hang in designs and slick look book.

It seems Sportsgirl has heard the word on the street and has enlisted TV to join other such young designers as Elke Kramer, Manning Cartell, Life With Bird and Kate Hurst. If their Autumn/Winter O9 preview is anything to go by we can look forward to a collection of  Talitha Getty on safari with Erin Wasson. I hope TV don’t follow suit of  some of the Topshop collaborators who do the same lane with cheaper fabrics.

My self proclaimed look for this winter comes from HBO’s Big Love and it’s not Chloe’s high neck pastel shirts and 9O’s floor length skirts that have made it to my mood board. It’s Harry Dean Stanton as the Poligismist prophet in his string ties and fitted two tone western blazers that inspire my ever changing seasons guideline. I also love Rhonda’s look when she first escapes the compound and tries to introduce pop culture to her top to toe Morman uniform. White lace ruffle shirt with a  stolen ghetto oversized bomber jacket worn slightly off the shoulder.

Whilst shopping in the city today I saw an exact flashback of Nick Cave fifteen years ago. It wasn’t his catwalking son Jethro- but he was also wearing a Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds t-shirt. Wish I had my camera because I love it when someone takes their love of a band into an entire look. Jethro has his own take on a western blues and swing look with his extreme undercut and cowboy shirt seems to be entering the latest swarm of rock offsprings that now grace both runways and fashion billboards. Pixie and Peaches, Coco Sumner, Daisey Lowe, Lizzy and Georgia Jagger are just some of the kids taking cheques from the overworked skinny jean wearing full time models. Jethro has begun his career at the top gracing the catwalk for Balenciaga. Question is can he stick around as long as Mr Cave?

Kanye wants to go down as the voice of a generation as well as contributing to all things fashionable. His blog raves about his favorite models as well as his need for an exclusive internship at his VIP list of fashion favs- LV, Marc Jacobs or Raf Simons and now he is taking up seats in the front row at Paris Fashion Week. His loud rap of self promotion is finally paying off as he adds contributer to his long list of talents. First he designed a custom made one of a kind LV backpack, now he continues his alliance with Mr Jacobs and has created a monochrome quilted mid-top sneaker for sauntering down the Parisian runways.
