MAX Magazine trailer: weekend watch

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it happened, but at some stage trailers stopped being just for films. These days books have trailers, websites have trailers, magazine issues have trailers. This is by no means a complaint: it’s a trend born of the Internet, the ability to spread videos with viral ease, and they’re the perfect way to generate excitement and anticipation around any launch. …

Calling out softly

You witness a lot of peacocking at fashion weeks; sometimes it suits the personality, sometimes a look has been obviously composed in order for its wearer to get photographed. When it’s the latter, the pieces used to create a look are usually loud and large. Not so with this look. Snapped at London fashion week‘s Somerset House, a sheer hem, a layering of fur and …

J’Aton, j’taime

Since their establishment in 1995, J’Aton Couture have become one of the most significant bespoke evening and bridal atelier’s in Melbourne. Drama and detail are two of the label’s hallmarks, whether it’s a cowl neck that sweeps across the body to become a fringed sash, or a gown of floral lace applique that creeps across a sheer bodice. Both of those things and more can …

McQ leaves England, heads West

Gone is the traditional English foundation, the tartan and lace; for spring 2012 McQ by Alexander McQueen is seemingly Texas bound. Sarah Burton’s designs maintain their femininity through strictly cinched-in waists, as is customary, but this time she adds a 50s rockabilly meets Western flavour. Metal-tipped collars, ribbon neck ties, embroidery, and denim all play a part in this cowgirl scene, smashed together with modern …

The truth laid bare

Trash magazines get turned on by the thought of it: issues of their titles emblazoned with headlines such as ‘stars without their makeup.’ Oh, how they chortle. One week their covers are dedicated to celebrities who diet too much, and the next week they mock anyone who they haven’t been able to previously lampoon by focussing on the fact that they’re ageing – shock horror …

10 ways to host an arm party this spring

Spring / summer 2012 is a hotspot for the the hottest of what has become colloquially known as an arm party. No one’s tastes have been left out (except, perhaps, those who’d thumb their nose at the term): bright coloured bangles mingle this season with gemstone-embellished wristlets and leather strapped cuffs sit next to metallic gold bracelets. The jewellery this season is chunky and bold, …
