New Fashion / Kate Powers
October 26, 2009 | New Fashion | by Gerry Mak |
Designer Kate Powers’ work is the epitome of timelessness, looking at once contemporary and vintage. Her pieces are vaguely turn-of-the-century, vaguely Victorian, but with more relaxed lines and less restrictiveness and some rather compelling asymmetry. Read more

New Fashion / Fundies
October 21, 2009 | New Fashion | by The Uncool Hunter |
Two person underwear is one of the truly great gag gifts and is likely the only one that the bachelorette will try to use. Pair people up and see who can get them on first without using their hands. But make sure you and your party guests have had a few drinks first. The packaging of Fundies hasn’t changed in at least twenty years. Half the fun is getting in them, the other half is up to you.

New Fashion / Cream leather jackets
October 14, 2009 | New Fashion | by Michelle Wilding |
Until Sydney’s tumultuous climate stops replicating Melbourne-esque four seasons in one day weather, one thing will remain certain: leather jackets in our wardrobes are essential. It doesn’t matter if summer is looming around the corner. You always need one, or many, and Cream on Crown Street (Surry Hills) and King Street (Newtown) is my hook-up of choice. Read more

New Fashion / After the Apple
October 13, 2009 | New Fashion | by Laura McWhinnie |
Life is made up of a series of moments. Some of them you’ll blink and miss, but others can shake up your entire world and leave you questioning just about every baggage purchase you’ve ever made. Think we’re being dramatic? Take a look at ex-Mimco designer Rachelle Dendle’s label, After the Apple, because her first collection titled FINS is going to stop you in your tracks. Made up of twelve basic bag shapes that will be adapted to a new theme every season, each bag fits a particular person’s need. This season’s dozen takes inspiration from under the sea, giving us injections of tropical colour and flashes of marine form. So which bag will you be fishing for? Read more

New Fashion / Peggy Noland
October 11, 2009 | New Fashion | by Dave Mata |
I think Anne Geddes spent ten years in the desert with Dr. Seuss doing hallucinogens. She woke up one searing Nevada morning and decided her new name was Peggy Noland. Then she moved to Kansas City and released the line that is currently featured on her website. At least, that’s what I think.

New Fashion / The Uniform Project
October 10, 2009 | New Fashion | by Melissa Banigan |
For the Uniform Project, Sheena Matheiken is wearing one of seven identical dresses for a year as a comment on sustainable fashion. Each day, she accessorizes with vintage items, Etsy treasures, or donated hand-made goods. Sheena writes: ‘Think of it as wearing a daily uniform with enough creative license to make it look like I just crawled out of the Marquis de Sade’s boudoir’. All proceeds from the Uniform Project will go to the Akanksha Foundation’s School Project, which provides uniforms and other necessities for children living in Indian slums. I am enormously impressed! Read more

New Fashion / Japanese butterfly eyelashes

We’re so accustomed to seeing arty forms of self-expression these days that the sight of this Japanese girl walking around the bustling streets of Tokyo wearing tiny butterflies attached to her eyes barely raises an eyebrow. [photo via WackyArchives]

I can’t wait until artists like Sacramento-based Skinner are commissioned to design candy packaging or toys or children’s bed sheets. As gruesome and completely insane as some of his images are, I would have stared at them for hours when I was ten. Hell, I’m staring at them for hours now. Read more
Lush was one of the best bands to come out of the indie-tastic early ’90s. They set the standard for shoegazey, ethereal pop from the British Isles, and they were about to break big with their 1996 album Lovelife before drummer Chris Acland hanged himself in his parents’ home. The band is a bit of a forgotten gem at this point. Let’s cross our fingers for a reunion.
Oh man, the work of New York based artist Inka Essenhigh is so good it makes my eyes water. Read more
This isn’t an outdoor art installation, but it is still somewhat curated. Or maybe hoarded is a better description. Somewhere in the inner western suburb of Sydney’s Summer Hill, there is a brightly coloured collection of garden gnomes on display. The owner of the home is yet to be seen, but there are hundreds of gnomes, side by side, all with equally dopey expressions on their faces and accompanied by a second fixation: caterpillar soft toys. There are so many gnomes, the garden is no longer visible. Maybe it’s an Amelie style prank that has just piled up over the years? Read more
Heavy metal and hip-hop are perhaps the most popular forms of rebellion for kids the world over. In Malaysia, metal — particularly black metal — has taken such a strong hold that the Fatwa Council there banned it, fearing that the music would compel listeners to rebel against religion. Contrary to the council’s intentions, black metal is as popular as ever in Malaysia, and is a recognizable cultural touchstone there, as indicated by the above clip from the 2005 film Filem Rock.
Australian designer Ruby Smallbone takes us into the chill of Winter with clockwork pieces and sharp cuts. This Sydney-based label is fast becoming an international hit with its distinct mix of European tailoring and street-inspired style. Ruby Smallbone’s Winter 09 collection proves there is a fine line between art and fashion, creating the perfect fusion of luxury fabrics within a creative and unexpected aesthetic.
Since they blew up with the release of their debut album, All Hour Cymbals, Yeasayer have become the hottest thing to come out of Brooklyn since the $2.25 pizza slice from Luigi’s on Dekalb. We checked in with bassist Ira Wolf Tuton and asked him for a list of songs that are rocking his world right now. Read more
