Mens Style Rocking Hard at Paris-Vendôme

Well I know I said no Paris fashion week, and considering 5 minuets after taking this shot I walked past the queue for the Dior Homme show at the Palais de la Découverte.. Is this a fashion insider? Love the layering, the hat the jacket, biker boots, belt and bag; all perfectly put together. Looks kind of familiar too, who is it under that hat? Thanks for the shot! Follow SFS on Facebook

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!

Vivalaviv's Vivienne Shui wears the 50's style FENDI sunglasses from the SS 2015 range.

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.

Electric's Craig Anderson signature sunglasses Txoko Launch at The Old Growler.

Last Thursday night saw the launch of the 'Txoko' surfer dude Craig Anderson signature sunglasses. A bevy good looking guys and gals got together to eat, drink, chat, and even try-on the brand new sunnies from Californian sport and lifestyle brand Electric. Craig was there in person and in good spirit and I even managed to talk him into a quick portrait in the kitchen; scene of my mini Txoko photoshoot (pics below, just scroll down). The sunglasses like the crowd and the food and beverage all seemed pretty top shelf. Thanks to my models from our impromptu shoot, big thanks to Electric and a thank you to The Old Growler, their chef and fabulous staff. What a great launch party. Check out the shots then go find yourself some Craig Anderson Txoko's!

Street Fashion Sydney - shot with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 

Floral Blouse - Matching Sunglasses - Balmain

It's been hard to know what the weather is doing or going to be doing in Sydney of late so much so I believe there is a move afoot to change the official spelling for weather to whether... But there has been plenty of sun and quite a bit of heat so its a great time for a light floral blouse and some well chosen sunnies to match and keep the glare at bay. Black jeans are always a cool option, though perhaps not in the sun, nicely teamed with beaded sandals.. Thank you Carolyn for letting me grab this shot of you in Balmain Sydney.

ROC Sunglasses SS 12/13 + Leopard Print Mayhem!

As any dedicated follower of Street Fashion Sydney (SFS) will know by now, its not exactly the product or launch that attracts the cameras gaze, its the people and what they wear. After all; that's what 'Street Fashion' is all about isn't it? And so it was at last nights ROC eye wear's SS 12/13 launch party where style was in super abundance, thick-on-the-ground, 'The Grounds of Alexandria' to be precise; so much so that I think this may be one of the most image intense posts SFS has made to date. And looking back, maybe I have been asleep, maybe I have been missing something but.. But but but, only two posts ago SFS certainly made a big deal about leopard print, well here it was, leopard print here, leopard print there, that's three posts in a row; really it does make you wonder why Myer went all the way to Africa to shoot Jen & Jess with a couple of fab furry African cubs; they could have saved a small fortune; crashed the ROC Launch Party (maybe with me as the photographer) and landed all the beautiful animal print they needed for the shoot - exotic or what!

If you look closely at the pictures you will also see, not only ROC sunnies in some of the shots you will also spot some of the posters from the campaign featuring the lovely Ollie Henderson from Chic and celebrity model Laura Bingle too. So here it is all the style, all the sunnies, shoes and leopard print thats fit to publish, and bonus brownie points if you can spot the fashion fabulous Glynis Traill-Nash in a shot as well. Let me know how you go, and until then, keep ROCing!

Special thanks to,

Lolita Sunglasses & Leather Jacket Sydney

Is it just me or have I been seeing quite a bit of these heart shaped 'Lolita' glasses around town of late? Well thats just fine, especially when they are teamed in a great urban assault outfit like this; Black Skivvy, Leather Jacket, Blue Jeans and Pixie-style Biker-rrr Boots-you are ready for anything.



And while on the subject of Lolita or at least the Kubrick film version (which I have not seen for many years)... I turned up the interesting tit-bit of info that the Master of 60's Photography Burt Stern was behind the lens (& me thinks the glasses idea too cause he was that kind of guy) of the publicity shot. The glasses were not used in the film itself! I know what you are thinking, "Kent, thats the photographer who did the Marilyn Monroe 'Last Sitting' shoot isn't it?" Well yes indeed it is.







Isn't it interesting how things go together; from here to there and back again!
