Monday, February 15th, 2010

I walked in with kindred-Perth model, Lauren Brown, and remember us having such a great time, laughing, smiling, basically loving each other’s romantic souls. Now – it must be 6 [...]

My Ode To Toni

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

It was the perfect Sunday. I woke, dressed and walked the sunny blocks to the Altman building just past 6th Avenue in New York City. I had no need for coffee as I was buzzed on the anticipation of seeing an Australian master show for New York fashion week; a master whose name is Toni [...]

I’ve been thinking. I used to practice a form of fashion observation akin to trend-spotting, in which I’d plasticize my mind to bend towards the most unhip thing I could think of at the time, before proceeding to revolutionize it’s cool factor.
