Meet my new bag. This piece goes back to my experiments with 3D shapes – pyramid, triangular prism, cube – and in this case, cylinder. Although all of these have played with geometry, thi...
Black dresses are undeniably the foundation of my wardrobe. Despite finding this Dion Lee wonder for a steal I had to carefully consider whether it was a wise purchase. Sometimes you can have too muc...
Blame Mary Kataranzou or simply the advances in technology, digital prints are on fire at the moment. Designers are photographing, collaging and manipulating like never before. Enter An Ode to No One...
Minimalism and detail, tonal seed-beading and a lean athletic silhouette. After Dion Lee and Josh Goot pulled out just weeks before the event it was always going to fall on fellow-minimalist-modernis...
Australian Fashion Week (MBFWA) has already passed in a swirl of fashion, parties and madness. Blink and you miss it. The stacks of showcards, hairspray and memory cards prove I was there but the col...
As a material, metallic leathers are an interesting blend of the natural and man-made. To achieve such a rich finish, foil is heat blocked onto leather. The resulting shiny surface makes the grain of...
I’m notoriously finicky when it comes to jewellery. So much so that it’s been a year since I last added a trinket to the jewellery box. Fortunately it’s something a bit special R...
Before the Spring Summer show at RAFW last year there were whispers that Josh Goot was going ‘back-to-basics’ for his homecoming presentation in Australia after several years on the inter...
After creating a bag for my sister it was only fair to make something for my boyfriend (or so he convinced me) as he gets back into uni. The shape of this iPad case is simple and functional, basicall...
As soon as I saw this oversized chessboard I knew it would be the perfect setting for my entry into a photographic styling competition. I’m not a natural stylist but I am interested in images a...
This summer the sun has come in only fits and starts with grey skies the default. Nevertheless it’s warm enough to farewell the end of the season with two favourite finds from the summer sales ...
I don’t know what it is with me and coloured shoes: I don’t do them. I try but they always end up sitting forsaken in their shoe boxes stuffed into the back of the cupboard. Black on the ...
Every season a reviewer somewhere will describe a collection as ‘for the very body conscious’ implying that only the lithe need apply. I actually think it takes much more confidence to em...
Glimpses of my all white bedroom. The most important piece of furniture isn’t white but sometimes you need something to break up the starkness. Inspired by La Maison Champs Élysées I made my ow...
When I asked my little sister what she wanted for her 21st she began telling me about her dream bag. Nice enough for the evening but hardy enough in case she ended up at a gig. Small enough to tuck u...
Before I begin afresh for the year, allow me to reflect on the year just past. Sometimes it’s nice to know where you’ve been before you go somewhere else. There were plenty of firsts in 2...
When I bought this shirt for a steal at the Dion Lee warehouse sale earlier this month I thought I’d have scant chances to wear it going into summer. Thanks however to the erratic weather and r...
A moment of birthday recklessness back in August, I couldn’t pass up this beautiful silk maxi skirt. Michael Lo Sordo was one of my highlights during Fashion Week and this piece with its waterf...
In a couple of weeks I’m finally going to be moving into a space of my own. In anticipation I’ve been trawling through endless images of interiors. Interestingly I’ve spent most of ...
Though I almost faltered twice, I resisted buying a leather skirt for months in the hope that I might be able to get my hands on this piece by Lui Hon from the Estherian collection. Made from sheepsk...
Dark and seasonally appropriate; there’s something about the rich painterly feel of this shoot in the latest issue of DANSK Magazine. Photographed by Michael Schwartz, the scans don’t qui...
Thanks to my clumsiness resulting in a grazed knee, I’ve been doing something unusual lately: wearing pants. It would be an understatement to say that I am not a pants woman. These are the only...
On Sunday I took my finished sunglasses case turned clutch for a stroll by the sea. Even before I chose the seahorse handle, I knew I wanted an exterior that mimicked the bubbly texture of stingray s...
Introducing Lui Hon Autumn Winter 2012. When I met Lui back in May he spoke to me about his fluid design method that responds to the feel of the fabric and how it falls around the body. In the latest...
Hasn’t it been a little quiet around here? Between this and that, life and the s l o w transformation of my seahorse clutch it feels as though time has been gently slipping through my fingers. ...
What’s not to like about obsidian? It’s dark, brittle like glass and is made by volcanoes. Reminiscent of a huge shard of obsidian, this carved wooden side table by Paul Loebach may just ...
Inspired by my latest DIY article for On The Streets Of Sydney – I thought I would try out the the same braiding technique on a fine snake chain. I was only able to make a small bracelet becaus...
On Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Sydney as a guest of HP Australia to cover the final sold-out Australian Fashion Week review show. Having been at RAFW (...
There seems to have been one constant filtering through from the coverage of Stockholm Fashion Week – that of the stunning presentation by the revitalised V Ave Shoe Repair. I’ve been fol...
Long time readers will know about my fondness for pyrite jewellery and they don’t get any more covetable than this Rachel Pfeffer x Molten Store creation. Helmed by the lovely Jessy – who...
