Flashback - The First Australian Blogger/Retail Collaboration Back In 2009

This blog post came up as a Facebook memory this morning and it really is a great flashback from the early days of fashion blogging. The very first Australian blogger shop window - back then Matt Jordan had his wildly popular Imelda Matt shoe blog and was certainly a major social media star. Fantastic of course. It was early days and no-one really knew where it could or would go, especially marketing departments; and budgets for working with bloggers were essentially non-existent! Commercial blogging was not yet a reality and as a result Matt shuttered the Imelda blog sometime (not too long) later. For Australia's very first Blogger/Retail collaboration I photographed Matt at my photography studio and then did the digital post work, swapping Matt's for Imelda's face in the mirror. I had previously done the portrait of Matt with the shoes around his neck that he ran with as his media portrait for years and years; along with the group photo with the Tan sisters. Fun days; way way before Instagram came along and changed the face of blogging forever. It's been a wild ride - and it's great to still be here. Text below is from the original post November 2009. I think my writing skills have improved somewhat; and of course I'm still available for all kinds of Blogger collaborations, just contact me!

The first Australian Blogger / Retail Window Collaboration 2009.

Its nice to see blogging, portraiture and retail all getting on so well together. In this case I was able to collaborate with Imelda shoe blogger Imelda Matt once again on a portrait project; this time for a window display in Brisbane's luxury emporium Jean Brown. The shot was done in one fairly quick afternoon session in the studio.

We also enjoyed a presentation on the renowned international exhibition trade shows theMICAM and MIPEL which I have to say I would love to attend at some point in my life. One of the highlights was previewing the first stage of the three year campaign, "The pleasure and the beauty of Italian shoes: lust taking centre stage for theMICAM based on the themes of Divina Commedia aka The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, with Purgatory, and Paradise to follow. You know the Italians are all about creativity and quality when you are told they chose Spanish Fine Art & Fashion photographer Javier Vallhonrat to shoot the campaign - in Australia this would most likely be given to the latest 'hot' photographer.. Take note Aussies! theMICAM and MIPEL showing will coincide with Italian Fashion Week for the first time, Fiera Milano, Rho, Italy 17-20 Sep 2017 with Fashion Week S/S 20 Sep. In the evening there was a Reception held at the MCA with stunning views of Sydney Harbour (and once the ship sailed on) the beautiful Sydney Opera House. Thank you to the Italian Trade Agency for an informative day and wonderful evening at Connect Italy 2017.

Windsor Smith Celebrates 70 years at #HarbourLife Sydney 2016.

Founded in Melbourne in 1946 I suppose every Aussie has a Windsor Smith shoe story and I certainly have a few. They have been a go-to fashion shoe for me, especially in my late teens and early 20s and the ranges for men and women continue to excite expectation while looking great and providing affordable quality and style to this day. So to say I was pretty chuffed to be a VIP guest at their 70th 'birthday' party is something of an understatement. Held in a special marquee at Harbour Life, Sydney's gorgeous Botanic Gardens with the Opera House and 'Coathanger' as the perfect scenic backdrop.. Thank You WINDSOR SMITH for all the great shoes and keeping me stylishly on my feet on more nights out than I can possibly ever remember. What more can I say other than thanks for a killer party; Happy Happy Birthday and many more to come!
