I lived and worked in interesting cities before – Paris for one. If I had a choice Perth would not have been the place I chose to live. This is my guy’s hometown and I got married to him ...
Are you broke after the Xmas shopping or have you been saving for the Boxing day sale? I haven’t done either as I’ll be away camping in the bush. If you are like me you’d be hanging...
A few years back, fashonistas flocked for tees with the slogan ‘Will Fuck for Shoes’. I’m not that crazy for shoes as all I wear these days are military boots or flip flops. Instead...
Typically, Edith Cowan University’s graduate show marks the end of the graduate show shooting season each year. This was the second time for me to attend their show after having missed last yea...
Self indulgence comes to my mind when I get to pick out designs I like to wear from graduate shows each year. Of course, garments are not readily available for purchase – come to think of it wh...
I sometimes get an aimless gear envy. That is just the feeling that only if I had a particular piece of equipment it would be so cool and I’d make much better images. Gear envy is a well known ...
There were a couple of collections I was dying to see more of at the Central Institutes graduate show. Typically, I’m too shy to contact designers directly. This time, however, my desire to see...
Walking through the deep blue coloured doors at Hatch led me to a quirky creative fashion space. My high hopes were well warranted and didn’t get diminished when greeted with stylish, well appo...
I’ve been not well for the past three months for various things. If my past medial record is anything to go by this long running sickness indicates that something is up. It typically happens wh...
Tales of Twentytwo by Polytechnic West (WAIFT) was the fourth graduate fashion parade I attended in November. It was a seriously good show despite some hiccups with the background music. As a lover o...
It was by far the best graduate show. Actually, this has been the most enjoyable graduate parade to date since I started Style Discovery in 2008. Thank [put your favourite religious figure here]. The...
Here are some of the photos from tonight’s show at the state theatre. The rest of the photos are, of course, uploaded in here and here in Flickr. Credit where credit is due, someone told me rec...
If there is one thing I really appreciate it’s getting variety of information before and after the show. Nicole from Challenger Institute was kind enough to drop me a line to thank me for turni...
My rambling coming soon. In the meantime, a few selected images from the show. The front row side view photos were taken by Brenda Holoboff, my handbag for the night. This year’s graduating stu...
I started working early today to finish up at 5pm. Reason? Challenger Institute’s graduate show is on tonight and I’m watching the rehearsal as I’m writing this. As I was settling i...
It is a still and warm Sunday morning and I’m feeling pretty lazy. I went through some of the old posts from 2008 and picked out a few that I found interesting. Getting ready for a Burlesque pa...
What sounds like the name of a cool music band isn’t, in fact, strictly related to music. When my arty friends mentioned the Canning Stock Route project I wasn’t thinking that I must see ...
It almost feels like I need to get a virtual brush out and dust around my blog. It’s been more than a month since I last posted anything. My hands and brain are like rusty wheels trying to get ...
October 1st. It was warm. Mercury hit 29C. That means drinking white wine under the sun or have a stroll along one of the favourite local strips. We’ve chosen Beaufort Street in Mt. Lawley. I w...
Lisa Marjanovich’s debut collection for Designer Capsule #1 as part of Perth Fashion Festival 2011 was pretty impressive for a fashion graduate from last year. Her draping and manipulation tech...
It is a sad fact of life that I cannot use all of the available hours to amuse myself. It was unfortunate that I couldn’t take time off work during the festival to enjoy all that was on offer a...
Perth Fashion Festival has ended but that doesn’t mean there are no more fashion fixes. Karrinyup and Garden City shopping centres (two of the better malls you’ll find in Perth) are organ...
S2 took the audience away to a dark, rainy and atmospheric land. The designer was very clear on how the show should feel – audience experience – not how it would look in press photos. The...
Apparently, this show was sold out very quickly. There were lots of people standing to watch the show as well. Zsadar kicked off the show with a bit of shock treatment; a female model walked out wear...
In light of Perth Fashion Festival 2011 I’ve been getting quite a few emails regarding the photographs shown in Style Discovery and in my Flickr stream. Some people ask me nicely with a request...
Spunky models wearing bikinis and not much else is popular among everyone it seems. Hackett Hall at the state museum was a full house. It was so noisy I was wondering what was going on. Yes, Nicole, ...
The coolest thing about this year’s festival is the live broadcast setup just outside of the state library. As I was walking towards the museum after having attended my nephew’s wedding c...
Models don’t always look great with whatever they put on despite the general notion that models look great whatever they wear. I felt that way looking at one or two of the models walking down t...
This was one of the most anticipated shows, I was told. As a mere mortal who wouldn’t have any occasion to wear any kind of fancy dresses, ae’lkemi has never been on my watch list. Beside...
WA Designer Collection is always amazing and it’s always massive. It’s massive because I invariably run out of my memory card during the show. One would think after a few years of doing t...
