Joolz "Third Time's the Charm" Collection
When I heard Joolz's new collection look-book was being shot on location at an Art Deco ballroom, I knew I would not be disappointed with the results. As predicted, the shoot brings together old world glamour, gorgeous styling, and of course striking accessories.
Rihanna for Gucci's 'Tattoo Heart' Collection
After my utter adoration for Gucci's bohemian-inspired AW08/09 collection, and my subsequent distaste for Rihanna's uninspired wearing of the collection's fringed boots, it should probably come as no surprise that Rihanna's Tattoo Heart campaign for the brand is a huge disappointment for me.
The Current/Elliott Holiday Collection on trend
Head over to the fashion diary and check out the holiday lookbook for Current/Elliot Jeans. It's chock full of the latest denim trends. Inside everything from ripped jeans to the boyfriend jean trend are represented, and for good measure they've even thrown in some high waisted, wide leg jeans.
H&M / Comme Des Garcons debuts in Tokyo
Comme des Garcons fans queued up for hours in rainy weather last week when the label's collaboration with H&M hit the shelves in Tokyo. Designer Rei Kawakubo brought her trademark avant-garde cuts and quirky details to the collection. Check out the video below to see the hype, the consumer response, and some exclusive interviews.
Kollate hits the Melbourne fashion scene
Kollate's inauguration into Melbourne's fashion scene provided the city with a much needed "no-frills" type of fashion. Unlike many labels when first starting out, there was a welcomed absence of un-deserving hype, clinical type of reverence and a sacrificial altar with an intoxicated priestess dancing naked to Enya dedicated to the brand. This alternative to the usual brouhaha may come off as rebellious compared with the "norm", but really it is a positive step for the local fashion industry.
Mejikuh at Fashion Exposed
Fashion Exposed, which will take place in Melbourne this weekend, is not just about well-established names. It's also the place to discover budding new labels that are yet to hit the big time. One such label to grace Fashion Exposed this year is Mejikuh - a brand created by an ambitious team of two, neither of who have ever studied fashion.
With inspiration from the 1960's, Mejikuh's collection presents a la dolce vita look with hints of colours. The materials used are combined of Japanese Sateen, Italian Sateen, and Chiffon Silk. These materials are used in varies ways throughout Mejikuh's latest designs with the overall effect of a feminine, alluring feel.

Gary Bigeni Spring/Summer 2008/2009
Gary Bigeni's designs are almost paradoxical: his choice of fabrics and colours are so simple, and yet his designs are utterly unique in their construction. Bigeni adds trademark twists and drapes that are almost escher-esque in their complexity - which contrast perfectly to the overall simplicity of the garments. His Spring / Summer 2008-2009 collection brings electric blue, soft grey and muted tangerine into the mix.
Gary Bigeni's S/S collection will show at High Fashion High Tea during Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW). Follow the link to reserve your place at the event.
