Brisbane’s Fallow fashion boutique
|The perfect balance between shiraz and parmesan is what came to mind when we met Nat Denning, a fashion retailer and Michael, a retail shopfitter, who have combined to create Fallow, one of Australia’s most stylish and unique boutiques. Stocking the best of Australian and international labels including Friedrich Gray, Claude Maus, St Augustine Academy and Chronicles of Never, this boutique is a gem, hidden behind an anonymous door in Brisbane’s uber-hip area, The Valley. Fallow oozes style with a harmony of antique furniture and modern fashion. It is a rare retail space that has a soul and is an inspiration to those who come across it.

Short video about LoveLove Studio by Tayla Wallace
This is a film I produced on Brisbane’s LoveLove Studio and one of its co-founders, Matt Johnson. As an artist, Matt is one of the most engaging and inspiring people I’ve met: his love of art and all things good is refreshing. Another co-founder/artist you’ll run into at LoveLove is Andy Harwood: he too is pretty damn cool. You can be expecting some dangerously good artsy happenings to be going on in the studio in up coming months.

Melissa Shoes have landed on earth and given the world a rubber shakedown that’s hard to forget. These fascinating pieces of fashion are doing to the catwalks what Haviannas did to the beach, with the Brazilian designer using reformulated rubber to design a shoe that bends, shines and, ultimately, revolutionizes modern women’s footwear. If seeing is not enough, pick a pair up and get a whiff of their bubble gum scent. With top designers such as Vivienne Westwood collaborating on these shoes, Melissa is already leaving quite a footprint in the fashion world.

Nat Denning is definitely not a ‘perfect balance between shiraz and parmesan’, that would be way too boring. Instead I’d say she’s the perfect balance of absinthe and chocolate. Definitely more of a rock chick than anything…

Silver Summit make the sort of hazy psych-folk that would suit a long, night-time drive through the badlands. Incorporating an array of acoustic instruments, strings, slide guitar, and haunting female vocals into gossamer melodies, the collective sound like they hail from a dusty town on the Great Plains rather than their native Brooklyn.
