Pip Edwards P.E Nation Launch Party at General Pants.

P.E Nation launched last night at the General Pants flagship store in Bondi Junction with an 80s style dance party and more 80s tunes than I have heard since, well the 80s! It was almost like clubbing at the Terminus back in Brissie back in the day.. but I was in a retail store instead; will wonders ever cease? Anyway I think the new P.E sportswear range from Pip Edwards and Claire Tregoning looks pretty cool and is doing the Fitness is the New Fashion thing with a bit of a throwback to the, yes yes you guessed it, the 80s! Well why not it was pretty good then.. and I love that top Pip can be seen wearing below, the stripes remind me of cycling's word championship stripes re-imagined. Congratulations Pip and Claire, and thanks for a great party :-)

P.E is that Physical Education, or Phys Ed as we called it or is it Pip Edwards's initials on a sportswear range?

I have long been in love with this location and wanted to photograph there, although until recently it has not been accessible in the way it was for our photoshoot. I also wanted to keep it simple; energy, connection, emotion, that is the story I am after. So I am very grateful to Vishmi for taking the 'risk' of shooting with me in such a quiet and personal manner. We had an enjoyable time (crew-less but not clueless..) and it all happened reasonably quickly, the magic of the shoot unfolding quite seamlessly. The still life shots of the location were made during the site's transitional phases in the weeks preceding our shoot. You have to keep an eye on things! The idea for the title is from the gas in the street lights that give a yellow cast, they are Mercury Vapour lamps - or at least they used to be..

Thanks to Portobello PR for the great clobber.

Menswear Magic, Checks for Young Men and Younger too.

Its never too soon and as it's now getting pretty cool in Sydney, it's certainly not too late to start sporting some bold winter checks. Three young men splendidly dressed for a Saturday afternoon checking out the art at Olsen Irwin gallery in Paddington Sydney. And checks are of course great for all ages, style them your way.
