Joolz + Vintage Luggage Company + Oncology Children's Foundation

JOOLZ collection THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM at the VINTAGE LUGGAGE COMPANY + Fund Raising Auction for the Oncology Children's Foundation.

Not quite street fashions normal stomping ground but its all in support of a good cause. Vintage Luggage joined with the new Joolz Collection jewelry launch to support the Oncology Children's Foundation. There was no shortage of Teddy Bear buyers in support of the Foundation and the auction of a vintage LV trunk secured an additional $5000.

If you spot anything here that tickles your fancy you can check it all out at 18 Bay Street Double Bay darlings.

Art, Art Students & Styling the Shoe.

Is it the Global Financial Crisis or just that I have not been attending enough Art Student shows? I don't know what it is but Cool is Back! All the mixing and matching from thrift shop to the high street. I love it!

Love Want launch at Blank Space.

Street Fashion spent a couple of very pleasant hours last night at the launch of 'Love Want', Bec Parsons & Imogene Barron (photographer & stylist). The launch was a one night only event. If there was any doubt about that I think the Sydney City Council rangers that 'closed' the show where a nice touch!

Street Fashion & Yen Curvy Launch @ Mori Gallery

Thank you Elodie for sending Street Fashion Sydney the invite for the Yen Curvy opening at Mori Gallery last night . This has to have been one of the most packed openings I have attended in quite a while. The humidity in the gallery was unbelivable but luckily we were there in time to grab a couple of beers to cool us down. Woe to those who came late the free beer never lasts long!

Street Fashion at the Gaslight Inn

Yes its true. Most nights after an opening at China Heights Gallery I slip across the road to the Gaslight for a(nother) beer and cigge. And as is usually the case there is a great selection of fashion conscious inner city types to be photographed.

Fashion & Photography at Monster Children Gallery

It was a big night out, or in (depending on your take on things) at Monster Children Gallery Fridaynight for the opening of "Predator' and 'Home Alone'. A double featureof photographs by The Cobrasnake and The Selby. Being young Jet Setting photography types, the turnout for the show had plentyof fashion forward art lovers on hand with some great taste in shoes and of course a smattering of the old Aussie Thong (that’s a rubber flip flop shoething); mostly of the ‘Dress’ variety.

Iloved the girls wearing the Sass & Bide Tees with the mirror bits allover them. I referred to them as BigBling, as in “I love your BigBlingtee”. Try saying that fast after a few complimentary Asahi Beers!

Street Fashion at The Australian Centre for Photography

Thursday the 29th was a big day for photography for me. I spent my first full day at my new photo studio in Sydney. My new base where I will be producing my commercial fashion photography. I spent most of the day working on a couple of Editorial submissions that are looking great.

Blundstone Boots ACP

In the evening I headed off to the Australian Centre for Photography in Paddington for the opening of the new series of exhibitions, Batteries Not Included | Angry Black Snake | Big Butch Billboard. Three great shows well worth stopping by to check out. I love art openings and I love the hip cool gallery openings in particular as you can always be certain of seeing some great fashion forward art lovers, or are they just Art Students!

Brown Leather Boots

Really it doesn't matter who they are the fashion is always great. It looks like light summer boots are all the range along with the old student fav, the Aussie Blundstone work boot. You can wear them anywhere, well at least you can if you are a chic.

Lederhausen Boots & Beer

I knew it was going to be a stylish opening from some of the people I saw making there way up Oxford Street towards the gallery from the bus on my there. Including, I kid you not, the lovely girl in the brown lace up boots photographed was one of those spotted on my way.

Unfortunately although I was in the studio all day I only had my tiny Canon IXUS 330 (circa 2002) to shoot with so apologies for the rather raw rough and ready quality of the shots.
