Too little too late?


I know you have probably already sussed it all out but doesn't it make me a bad blogger if i don't post about Australian Fashion week at all? To be honest I was really just over it by the end of the week. I think i can face it now but in baby steps.

I'm starting with Dion Lee because I didn't go to that one and this is a good oportunity for me to look/criticise. To be fair, I do like how well thought out his designs are but this collection almost seems like he has thought too much in places. In other words sometimes the construction was a little harsh. Although I favour this over the sloppiness/laziness of others. (I won't name names.)



The colour palette was really fluid and beautiful. Pastel shade s of mauve and baby blue looked fantastic in the natural light. I like the crisp white too which really shot these tones off.  This colletion was a great intro to his stance on prints and i think he did really well. In saying that did anyone get the Josh Goot vibe?

Boho Bill

Famous New Yorker Bill Cunningham has lived the New York City life everybody dreams of. He lived in his rent controlled apartment next to Carnegie Hall for nearly 60 years and his experiences there were remarkable. Now he unfortunately has to move out of the premises he has shared some of his memories in a short video. I definitely recommend you view it. It’s so cool! This is bohemia at its greatest.

I love Lyn and Tony

This post title works for two reasons. Firstly my Aunty and Uncle are named Lyn and Tony and they are the two funniest people in the world but also because it is the design duo behind my new favourite accessories label 2 by Lyn and Tony.

I have seen their pieces before but was inspired to check them out properly after watching the Knostantina Mittas show at RAFW last night. Their pieces are truly unique.
I pinched two photos off their somewhat unhelpful site for you to look at below.








 You can by the pieces at Popeke on Williams st in Paddo.
