An interview with Lipstick Bandits

Written by Tania Braukamper on 13.09.07

If Todd Rosen could choose three words to describe the essence of Lipstick Bandits, those words would be "glamour, power, diamonds." True to that definition, the label specialises in tees and hoodies that scream rock-star glamour.

Todd is one of the owners of the label. He's quickly become aware of how the Internet is changing fashion, saying, "the internet lets me touch the world now." Thanks to fashion blogging, international markets such as England, Japan and Australia have picked up on the label.

We asked Todd to dish the dirt on what Lipstick Bandits is all about.

Tell us something we didn’t know about you.
Lipstick Bandits is true "california" style, Todd Rosen and Jimi Lee were both raised in Hollywood and Beverly Hills California.

The Veronicas make a cliche range for Target

Written by Ren on 24.08.07

Its not uncommon for singers to become actors, or models to become singers, well now pop duo the Veronicas have gone from singers to designers.

They launched their new range, creatively entitled "The Veronicas for Target" yesterday.

Described as Punk Princess, the range includes clothing for younger girls and teens. The whole empire seems to be slightly reminiscent of the Olsen Twins.

This year we've seen Target Australia go from reputable international names Stella McCartney and Josh Goot, to celebrity endorsement by less-than-memorable pop twins The Veronicas. Aside from the obvious drop in quality, which admittedly is largely due to them targeting a different, younger crowd via this capsule, there's also a lack of creativity or fashion-forwardness in the range with last-season's high-waisted skirts and emo-esque vests making up the staple of the collection.

You can see more information on the Veronicas for Target website.

Fashgasm 04.08 - get your friends killed

Written by Daniel P Dykes on 04.08.07

So another week of fashion and something is always happening, even if people tell you otherwise.

Azzedine Alaia is getting his name back. It's not that he ever lost it, Prada are just nice enough to give it back to him. Did we say give? We meant sell.

Donatella Versace wants to be the one dressing the Spice Girls for their upcoming tour. So much so she's already designed outfits that will cost us to US$400,000. Ticket prices are likely to rise.

We've learnt that some people will strip down to their bare essentials to get free clothing. We've also learnt it's seldom a pretty sight.

James Piatt has released what he calls the Persuader. It's a machine gun shaped handbag. Buy one for all the friends you don't like. Not because it's ugly, but because in the post 11 September world they're likely to be shot for carrying one.

Jacqui Alexander - new face of MMSFW

Written by Daniel P Dykes on 02.08.07

Only a fortnight after dumping Claire Quirk, the Melbourne City Council have announced that model and fashion designer Jacqui Alexander is the new face of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW).

Alexander, who hit the press earlier this year after becoming the youngest fashion designer to be stocked at London's Harvey Nichols, is naturally excited about her upcoming role. She's also aware that MMSFW is one of the few fashion events truly open to the fashionistas who make the industry possible; "This show, unlike many others I've been involved in, really celebrates fashion and opens fashion up to the public, who normally get excluded from industry events," she told the Herald Sun.
