Neuw Denim recently shot a campaign at the iconic Melbourne barbershop, Dr.Follicles, to kick off the new season of Neuw Chinos. Featuring local designer Paul Theobald, here is a little film shot by Scottie Cameron that takes a closer look at the artist behind the chinos.

While we’ve seen cold brew popping up around town as temperatures rise, the crew at Coffee Supreme have taken cold brew to the next level with the limited release of their Don Pachi Geisha.

This stunning coffee, now legendary after winning Best of Panama 2011 and breaking the record for the most expensive coffee traded at US$111 per pound, is one of the rarest and arguably one of the best coffees being cupped this year. Gushing with strawberry notes and a creamy body, the Supreme crew have done it again, creating an exceptionally refreshing brew that’s become the most sought after sip this summer.

As I come from Melbourne, the city of coffee snobs, I would probably never have a use for these Coffee Joulies. But I think these guys are really sweet and may be onto something here. So what is is? Well, ‘Coffee Joulies work with your coffee to achieve two goals.

First, they absorb extra thermal energy in your coffee when it’s served too hot, cooling it down to a drinkable temperature three times faster than normal. Next, they release that stored energy back into your coffee keeping it in the right temperature range twice as long’. For those of you burning your tongues on too hot lattes or having to pour out the second half of a luke-warm to freezing mocha, get on board!

New York-artist Tom Fruin shows us how one man’s trash can become one city’s treasure. His latest creation, the Kolonihavehus, is situated in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen. Throwing back to the 19th century Danish tradition of Kolonihave — ‘little house with garden’ — Fruin’s sculpture is made from a thousand reclaimed pieces of plexiglass found in dumpsters around the city.

We are spoiled for choice when it comes to the best cafes in Melbourne. It still amazes when I come across a spot that boasts the best coffee, the best atmosphere, and the best menu. It may often be populated by bespeckled, part-time bloggers and the like, but Proud Mary, in Collingwood has it all going on without any of its neighbourhood hipster pretention. Did I mention the one of a kind custom-made Synesso coffee machine? Try their summer bircher muesli topped with fresh mango, tangy green apple and crushed nuts. It really is THE BEST.

I’m excited for my brand Skinny Nelson to be collaborating with photographer Mia Mala McDonald for our forthcoming photographic exhibition at the Somewhere and Someday Galleries in Melbourne and Sydney. Thread is an exploration of diversity and identity and how we choose to represent ourselves. The exhibition features a series of intimate portraits of some pretty extraordinary individuals — from a fortune teller to an Indigenous activist, to models and musicians.

If I had to give you a list of my seven favourite fashion boutiques, Eastern Market would be up there. Housing a strict code of black and white styles from imported labels, and some of Australia’s most unique and creative jewellery and accessory designers (Julia Deville and company), it’s no wonder those in the know flock to this place that was once a church but now an esteemed fashion haunt.

Cibi, in Japanese meaning “a little one,” is exactly what you feel like when taking your chopsticks to your breakfast on a sunny Saturday morning in the backstreets of oh-so-cool Collingwood, Melbourne. It’s an exciting new experience tucking into a bowl of soba noodles for breaky or wandering around the Japanese trinket store connected to the café. Cibi have created a space full of sensory delights where you can dawdle and daydream, bringing out the inner cibi in all of us.

A few days ago I stumbled across a great new vintage store — Vintage Garage — that has popped up on Smith St, just near the heart of Melbourne’s ‘north side’ grunge fashion area. This cavernous boutique is maze of small dressing rooms brimming with carefully selected and collected vintage clothing and relics. There’s so much to choose from and prices are so reasonable it’s easy to walk out with a basketful of classic tailored jackets, retro high waisted slacks and an antique golden tea set to match. Just eight weeks old, it’s a must see for vintage hunters and gatherers.

You’ve probably wondered who was the inspired genius behind installations such as the gorgeous herb wall at the newly renovated Circa restaurant, GPO’s Christmas Tree made of 500 blue spruce filled oil cans, or one of the quirky, floral — industrial pieces sitting on the table in front of you at your pick of Melbourne’s top cafes and restaurants. Kanteen, The Wall or Batch — to name a few. Australian artist, Joost, is bringing ethereal beauty to us daily and reminds us that nature is the most beautiful art form of all.

The Mexican wave has finally hit Australian shores. Leading the pack is Mamasita, run by New York trained Matt Lane. Mamasita (hidden upstairs) is located in the French End of Melbourne’s Collins Street, yet embodies everything we love about authentic, unpretentious dining. The menu is made for sharing, with small tapas style Mexican classics such as tacos and quesadilas to be accompanied by many Margueritas. Try scoring a bar seat for dinner and enjoy long and laid back delicious meal.

Colonel Tan’s is the latest food sensation creation by Cookie’s Karen Batson. The kitsch Thai menu is served at Revolver’s upstairs supersized loungeroom to the beats of a live — caged — DJ. Combining classic Thai dishes, such as Pad Thai and, my favourite, Beatle leaves with Chicken Nuggets and Kaffir lime, the whole experience is very laidback and cheeky. Even better is that Thursday night is fifty percent off for locals in the 3181 postcode. Lucky me!

Slip into 340g of superb Scandinavian engineering. As well as being aesthetically ‘fly,’ Gram sneakers are each wittily named by their own weight. The Stockholm-based team behind the brand combine modern materials with classic sneaker style to create a unique shoe that never walks unnoticed.

Despite its inconspicuous location (in a parking lot alleyway) Monk Bodhi Darma is Melbourne’s newest treat to the café society’s ranks. Café connoisseurs are filling this cosy cavern of exposed brick walls and long oak tables to be served the delicious grind from Five Senses. Sustainability is at the core of the global menu, with locally sourced organic produce making specials such as Zanzibarian black eye pea stew. I’m hooked.
