We’re big fans of Australian streetwear label Nique. Their clothes are distinctive and edgy, with great cuts and fabrics. The designers behind the label. Nick and Lucy Ennis. have no formal training in fashion and have therefore come at it from a completely fresh and unaffected perspective. Working out of Melbourne, Nique are slowly infiltrating hip boutiques throughout the country. They recently promoted the label with an ad on the Lost At E Minor website and now they have given us five t-shirts [above left] to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who send this post to 3 or more friends or leave a message under this posting with two good reasons why you should get one. Entries close Feb 18 and winners will be announced under this posting.

Crimea X is the coming together of two offbeat, disparate characters, DJ Rocca (Ajello, Super Sonic Lovers, Maffia Sound System) and Jukka Reverberi from 90s Italian glam cult rockers, Giardini di Mirò, who have often have been compared with the sound of Mogwai, Arab Strap, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. We asked them about their favourite music and they started with The Smiths song, Ask [listen below] ‘I saw them playing live on Italian TV. It was during the 80s when I was extremely young, and I’ve never stopped listening to this song’. Read the rest of Crimea X’s Secret Playlist.
I love the curated selection of abandoned swimming pool photos on Feature Shoot today, featuring work by Carlo Van de Roer and Albert Jodar, amongst others.

1. I have just quit my job to go back and study design full time and cant afford any new clothes.
2. I need a new Nique T shirt to be able to keep up a cool image with all the other students.
peaches said | 15 February, 2007
1. I have a hot new boyfriend (this took me 29 years to achieve and thus deserves a reward).
2. He has terrible dress sense. It’s more subtle to manipulate a partner’s wardrobe via winning clothes rather than buying them.

*I need some style when I’m up in the tropical mountains reforesting and fighting corruption.
*I’ve recently stopped believing in Santa Claus as one singular entity but believe his spirit be manifested, on a daily basis, in many human beings. I specifically need some confirmation.

1.Chuck Norris does not get frostbite. Chuck Norris bites frost. Unfortunately I cannot ward of frost like Chuck, so I might need a Nique tee to keep me warm.
2. Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
So I’ve taken a leaf out of Chuck’s book, and I’ve decided that it’s time that I win a prize.
