I kinda picture the world of Australian fashion even meaner and more competitive than most capital cities, less people to buy and a burgeoning ammount of newcomers. Then I check out Sartorialist’s subject muse and poetic stitch-er Gail Sorronda’s blog to find her cuddling up to the cartoon kids of Romance Was Born. Then the [...]

Excerpt: Just finished reading an article in the FT magazine on The Impossible Project, an inspiring attempt by some former Polaroid workers to save the iconic Polaroid film. Some of these workers had worked at Polaroid for twenty or thirty-odd years before being made redundant and are passionate about saving it before the year is out. [...]
Sookie Stackhouse is the best character name by far..maybe ever. Very weird to go from the G-Rated overly dreamy and romantic Twilight books to the mass Vampire shape shifting orgy’s on True Blood. The ebbs and flows of fads. Vampires are pale and sexy and A positive flavour of the month. I love the absolute [...]
Maybe it should be a national holiday. I never check the mail. It’s only bills and letters for old residents. Thank god boyfriend does because today is a glorious day. My favorite dresser in the whole world Alice sent me a belated birthday gift all the way from Hackney, made by her boss the gorgeous [...]
Chomping at the bit. Not exactally sure what that means, but sounds about right for the long awaited hyped up Christopher Kane for Topshop range. Susie Bubble drooled and left the rest of the blog world waiting months to see what London’s best designer had sketched for the high street store. I am back on [...]

Here are my hit predictions for the future faces…Lucy Fry- a Girlfriend model comp finalist who has [...]
At the start of the year I got to take photo’s in my friend Lynnette’s amazing closet. Now she has some serious sock folding competition with my friend Mark who is all about straight lines and compartmentalised clothes. I caught him laminating photos of each pair of his shoes in an updated version of those [...]
After being in London for two years working at a fashion magazine, dressing up every day and never repeating an outfit I return back in Michael J Fox time to my old stomping ground working in film. Currently I am buying costumes for a film, earning megabucks compared to my peasants’ wage in London BUT [...]
Vanessa Milde puts her elbows on the glass for RAFW sweetheart Dion Lee. I absolutely love an image from behind when you can only see the back of the models head, and for a Look Book this is way cool. Lee was a stand out at fashion week as his lines were slick and asymmetric [...]
Clothes for modern lovers. Reading the archival pages of the 50th Anniversary Australian Vogue I discovered some iconic designers I had never heard of. Katie Pye- more of an artist than a fashion designer was a romantic experimenter in the eighties who created hand painted wearable sculptures. New romantic.
