I have no idea why model polaroids when they are dressed in casual clothes, barely made up with a scruffy ponytail are always so appealing. I was once a stylist choosing from a selection of beautiful clothes, textured fabrics and coming up with fanciful themes so it seems wrong to like these shots.

Julia Nobis shared the white background with 2 other models for Alexander Wang’s Resort 11 lookbook for his T line. This time round it’s all her for Spring 2011 look book for his basics line, T by Alexander Wang. Her milky white skin, androgynous frame and pale blonde locks represent the brand of NY street tough perfectly.

And my christmas shopping list begins…. Estelle Deve of One Perfect Morning has expanded her amazing jewellery range and the 3rd Mars Borealis is her finest. I love the earthy grainy impressions and feel of one off pieces of the rings. It reminds me of being young and placing coins on train tracks to flatten them. For some reason this brought the excitement of being bad to the bone.
Excerpt from interview @ Melbourne Street Fashion:
What sparked your attraction to jewellery design? My dad and aunt used to have a jewellery label in the 90s. I have vague memories of playing around in their studio and making my own custom made bracelets to show off at primary school. Growing up, I thought my aunt had the coolest job in the world. She would draw all day and get all these jewellery samples and travel.

Fernando Frisoni’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection WOMAN styled by Mark Vassallo and shot by Adrian Mesko is stunning. The blonde bombshell model a young Daryl Hannah re-incarnate.
I always wonder why designers hire a stylist for their lookbooks, or catwalks…. this is solid proof as to money well spent.

Beautiful lace underwear. Sofia Coppola-esque circa Virgin Suicides advertising. Prints worthy of a Marc Jacobs runway. Lets just say I want it all. Now Lonely Hearts needs an online store so I can get it NOW.

Something Else Summer 2011. Casual cool.
I used to avoid printed tees but am now embracing them all over again. I still have a Sample tee (Something Else designer Natalie Woods label that she did with UK Harpers Bazaar Senior Fashion Editor Vanessa Coyle.) So the Sample tee with a pink sequinned sleeve has stood the test of time… maybe 10 years!
Yesterday I was posting letters and whilst waiting I glanced at the magazine stand and amongst all of the glossies and bright and poppy International covers one magazine stood alone. Fallen Issue 6. Crisp white background. Tallulah Morton casting a crouched stance, and once flicking through.. an article on the extremely talented Tina Kalivas. Another Melbourne based magazine coming along leaps and bounds.

Spook Magazine is a quarterly independent Australian magazine, almost more music and art rather than fashion. Not a magazine I would usually pick up but I love this cover and I think the three Melbourne friends that publish Spook are gaining International newsstands and it’s definitely cooler.
