FAVOURITE AUSSIE 8+

Make it 10.

Going through my suitcase/wardrobe recently in London, I came to realisation of my appreciation that has stayed true to more than a few particular fellow Australian's designs. Through all the years I've spent working in fashion in Oz, and representing it, these guys have continued to renew and reinvent with quality and uniqueness that youll want to keep around forever. Something good is definately going on in the water down under.

Kitty Grace:
Previously designer of "Illionaire", Kat invents the sexiest silhouette possible for women. With outrageously feminine colours and cuts, you wont be looking for the perfect little black dress any longer.

 A.T.G. Women:
I first discovered this emerging label by Nikki Penny when i shot her lookbook and was amazed at the originality and daringness of her direction. Wetsuit materials, sporty leather, sheer red pants, sexy bandeus and cool jackets all in one collection. These are stand-out peices and i get comments from all stylish vixen types every time i rock any of them.

 ManiaMania:
Crystal and metal jewellry at its original finest in my opinion. So eclectic and unique it has you drooling at first sight. Latest campaign features Dree Hemmingway.

 Romance Was Born: If my imagination exploded into clothing i think it would create something along the lines of what these guys do. Futuristic animalistic psychadelic craze of prints and combinations that are most definately eye catching to say the least. The printed jumpsuits are a favourite on stage for Sneaky Sound System super spunk Connie Mitchell too.

Ten Peices: A little under the radar, connesuers Maurice Terzini and Ian Nessick have created 3 ranges now of each Ten Peices. Colour blocking using mostly blacks and greys, its all about the quality and cut here. Slight Comme influences, using the finest italian cottons and jersey its super schmick, the trousers with braces are a unisex winner.

Josh Goot: Long- time favourite from the beginning of the perfect jersey tanks. Goot is continuously evolving his collections, working with moulding the silhoutte of the body, great cuts and fabrics, and unique prints. Perfect for basic peices and stand-out sleek sophistication.

Graz Eyewear: What a legend this guy is in the frame department. He used to work his magic @ Ksubi and now hes working a whole lot more. Chunky fantastic combos with fellow designer Ellery, ranging down to the finest lightest sleek designs you could possibly flatter your face with.

Chronicles of Never: Worn in everyday quality goods. The mens jeans are great, so is the leather, and the shades too. Basic customised tees, original boots, great streetwear.

Nathan Smith: This guys minimalist peices are still a staple in my suitcase going on 4 years. Perfect tees, simple dresses, comfy pants, neutral colours, nice feeling cotton and jerseys. Chuck it on like its nothing but chic. So good.

Ksubi: Favourite for a long time. Ksubi rules the cool. Customised denim available. Kings of denims, streetwear creating almost their own genre. Cool sunnies, fun colours, funny prints, always something to add to your collection in any season. My favs are still the one-off laser print jeans in found in a sale, done by Mikey Nolan.

Keep up the good work guys! And if you dont know, now you know.
Love from London.

JUICES- THE RITON GREEN: 2 limes 2-3 green apples 4 stalks of celery !/2 a large cucumber Juice them all and consume immidiately when all the nutrients still dont know whats hit them Serves 2 THE CARTA TWIST: 4 carrots Half a ginger 1/3-1/2 pineapple Dash of lemon Juice them all the consume immidiately. Serves 2 POWER SMOOTHIES- THE ORIGINAL RITON: (Orginally from our neighbour, Micky Moonlights recipe) 2 dates 1-2 bananas large handful of cashews large spoon of cocao powder coconut water filled to over half way in the blender jug Put it all in the blender and blend your heart out and the heart out of those nuts. Boom. Consume. Nutritious and delicious. Serves 2 THE SUPER CARTA: 1-2 cups of frozen berries 1 spoon cacao powder 1 banana 1 tablespoon natural probiotic yoghurt A scoop to two of your choice of protein/superfood/liver tonic powder (optional) 1 spoon of LSA mix (optional) Dash of stevia (honey/date syrup if you wish) Coconut water to fill jug over half way BLend blend blend- then blend a touche more.

Catwoman is Back!

Its amazing what the full moon can bring. So much universal energy all manifesting in what seems to be the monster of a glowing magnet beaming at us from above. Caused by the light from who else, but us on Earth. Can cause all sorts of crazy behaviours and energy to dance a manifest...

Put your wishes and intention out there, its the last one before the new year!

meow.

And BOOM...

I can DJ!
Just in time for 11.11.11.
And the full moon.
Yehaa

Summer 11/12 Has Begun...

TEN PEICES #2

My great friend and multi multi tasker Maurice Terzini really knows a thing or two about off-beat Quality Style.
Italian cottons and jersey. Greys. Unisex.

Wear it all together, 1 peice, 5 peices or ten. Sexy and fresh.

If your in Australia head to Restricted Premises boutique in Kings Cross Sydney, and check out some of the minority of this kind of stuff that goes on down here.

Game On ! (No.1)

A new thing has just exploded onto the basketball courts in Bondi.

"Basketball Grudge Match"

Organised by mister Daimon Downey this event was pretty epic.

Nicki Van She Vs. Jovi (Modular music) -or-

BONDI VS. PADDO

Speakers built into painted garbage bins pumping tunes for the day and all the crews came to watch. Good turn out. Time for Round 2!
