ANY STEP MBFWA Raffles International Showcase 2015

Oh Bondage - Up Yours!

Well actually the range is called HEROINE SS 2015/16 and it is Amazonian princesses meets late night bondage club all of which reminds me of going to the Beat club in Brisbane back in the early 80s... or even more so, Black Market in Sydney later on (though real B&D has never been very attractive to me). I do like the playful dress-up elements in this range; perhaps more inspired by Malcolm Mclaren and doyen of British fashion Vivienne Westwood who's shop SEX, was pretty much to-the-point and where it all got started as (Punk) fashion from fetish. And here we are, we have come a long way; certainly rebellion is prettier this time around. The designers of ANY STEP by Amy Le and Stephanie McGuigan have just shown at China Graduate Fashion Week #CGFW in Beijing, so time I thought to get my shots of this range off the hard drive and up online. I hope you enjoy the show; gold-lamé leggings on suspender straps.. I certainly did. Mouse over image for details.

I saw Jimmy Barnes at China Heights!

No that was not the name of the exhibition; I did see Jimmy Barnes at China Heights gallery last night. He was there as were a lot of other people for Jesse Lizotte's LOWRIDER photography exhibition of Mexican Gangster portraits and Lowrider car portraits too. And there was a magazine launch in gallery 2 (or next door) called Awake and no it was not a Seventh Day Adventist magazine launch! I don't think they would have liked the crowd at all; but as usual I loved it and here are the shots including a portrait I took of Jessie in the melee of it all. Where's Barnsie? You just need to look closely, he is definitely in there somewhere..

Safilo SS 2015 Sunglasses & Eyewear Media Showcase @ IVY Sun Room.

One of the interesting things about being a photographer and blogger/writer is you do get to discover amazing details and history about things your previously knew next to nothing about! Not doubt you too will be amazed to learn that Safilo Group manufactures in Italy (& distributes) some of your favourite designer eyewear and sunglasses; the list is pretty long but here are the eye opening highlights.. Dior, Dior Homme, Gucci, Fendi, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, Marc By Marc Jacobs, Boss, Carrera, Polaroid & Max Mara. And the media showcase included some frames and sunnies that are not yet available in Australia; fear not I am not here to tempt you with those goodies you cannot yet have!

The big hit for me on the day was the 50's retro feel FENDI range of which Vivalaviv's Vivienne Shui and I tried on more pairs of than any other. The Dior and Dior Homme were big in to de-constructed frames; kate spade did the best bling; wayfarer style is big; and BIG is HUGE! Gucci have decided to encase Gucci silk scarf's in the frames which makes every pair more-or-less a one off; I like that! And a pleasant surprise; Polaroid sunglasses are back; Real Polaroids. I swear by them; great for photographers. If you can't make it into your favourite sunglasses store you can try Get Glasses online here.

Street Fashion & Art Nudes at Mils Gallery.

Friday evening found Street Fashion Sydney at Mils Gallery in Surry Hills for Artist and Photographer Vladimir Kravchenko's opening of his exhibition of nudes wearing masks; Know Thyself. This is an interesting show where all the nudes are photographed wearing  masks made by fellow artist Nicole Toms, so a bit of a collaboration going on as well. Nudes made work safe where they appear; with apologies to the artists. Check out the show or the website, at Mils Gallery. Scroll down for the Street Fashion on the night.

Camilla Style Guide and Boutique Launch - Paddington - Sydney.

Be a Camilla Ringleader!

Yes, there is a beautiful and glorious Camilla tribe and I was in the thick of it with all these beauties for the launch of Camilla's style guide at her new Paddington boutique. The new flagship store is indeed also very beautiful and shares with you the journey that has made Camilla the label and, I think the woman who and what they are today. I will let the pictures tell you the story of this launch; the style guide which I received a print copy of is a fabulous work itself, and it can also be viewed online with illustrations and how to video as well. You will never be at a loss for a new way to wear your Camilla.  Congratulations to Camilla and her Tribe of Camilla Ringleaders!
