!Phillip Lim’s AW1213 offering showed that black and white can be just as bold as brights, with models sent down the runway in looks that were monochrome but never mundane. The Selfish One tank by sass & bide is proof that black and white can pack a graphic punch. ... read more

!The heavy overcoats and frosty glares of Karl Lagerfeld’s models during Chanel’s AW1213 runway show may have hinted at an icy atmosphere but, front row, things were actually heating up. Big-eyed, blue-haired pop princess Katy Perry and winsome Lagerfeld wet dream (now there’s a rather unappealing visual for a Monday morning) ... read more

While Kristen Stewart and SJP’s pit stops attracted flurries of flashing bulbs, Paris Fashion Week drew a key group of consistent front row faces. And while we get that rising fashion bloggers and style snappers are quickly becoming style set fixtures, there were some intriguing personalities who sat among the world’s top magazine editors and buyers.

Most obviously, Katy Perry was the weirdest personality to resurface. Who knew the kooky songstress was so friendly with the design world’s... read more

Jean Paul Gaultier, we need to talk. There are many glaring issues when it comes to your first project as Creative Director of Diet Coke. The rather baffling Flashdance-meets-Team America narrative. The voluminous quiff that you have chosen to sport in your guise as an enthusiastic paparazzo. But, perhaps most notably, we need to have a little chat about your obvious penchant for puppets. After all, I seriously doubt that... read more

This morning I was lucky enough to have a real life ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’. Most girls idolise the film and would give anything to recreate that iconic moment, and I was able to, right down to the immaculate monogram coffee cups! It was also a chance for the media to see the newly refurbished Melbourne Tiffany & Co. store on Collins St, and what a beauty it is. Glen Schlehuber, Managing Director of Tiffany & Co. Australia talked us through the renovations and it was... read more

For most, the end of tertiary education is marked by poorly fitting robes, jaunty mortarboards and awkward family photos. For a select few amongst us, however, it is a significantly more stylish affair. This year, twelve outsanding graduates from institutions including the University of Technology Sydney, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Sydney Institute of TAFE and Curtin University will mark the end of their academic exploits with the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF)... read more

!Prime your purse with subtle punk appeal like Alexa Chung. A cluster of studs on your clutch will give tough-girl boldness to even the girliest of get-ups. Try the Rachael Ruddick Prism clutch— it’s elegance and attitude in one perfectly hand-held package. ... read more

Considering his first collection provoked a response that, at best, can be deemed uncomplimentary (apparently the world just wasn’t ready for shoes resembling bejeweled poodles), Kanye West’s sophomore effort was, thankfully, relatively inoffensive. Evidently, Yeezy learned a lot about taste in the interim, because there was nary a poorly stitched seam or flagrantly overexposed side-boob in... read more

Zimmermann is one Australian label really making waves in America at the moment. After the initial success of their LA store, the Zimmermann sisters have decided to spread their wings in the Big Apple! This couldn’t be more exciting for the Australian expat crowd living in NYC, who can now get their hands on their favourite Aussie label at the drop of a hat. What’s more, the location they have chosen could not be more perfect. As anyone who has been to New York will attest, Soho is... read more

Sometimes the people watching at fashion shows is way more exciting than the show itself. Obviously the hoards of street-style photographers attest to that fact. The Chanel show in particular is one to see and to be seen at, if only for the star pulling power the Kaiser has. I was lucky enough to attend the Chanel show last year and just walking into the great cavernous hall of the Grand Palais was overwhelming. I walked past Florence Welch, Leigh Lezark, Mario Testino, Grace Coddington, Julia... read more
