The crew at Twin Cat Vintage have extended their range of clothing from vintage clothing to new designs inspired by the past. Given they’re limited edition, they still have the feeling of ‘one-of a kind’ that vintage offers.

There’s no easy way to say this, but too many blokes who care about fashion end-up looking like kids down at the beach. What looks okay when you’re a teenager just doesn’t cut it once you reach a riper age. To address this gap in the market, new Australian label The Rocks Push has launched a range of well-fitting men’s beach shorts. Read more

Terrence Towel, son of Terry the ‘mythical rogue‘ of the 1970s fashion world, has started a revival of his father’s vision in Melbourne. This Australian owned label that manufactures locally has extended the concept of the Terry Towel bucket hat to include items that make up both a summer and a winter range. The clothes are comfortable, colourful, and great if you can’t be bothered towelling down after a shower.

Plenty of fashion-PR-spam floods my inbox as we transcend into a new wardrobe season, but this week one Look Book caught my eye. New kid on the block streetwear label, One Hundred, launched this week in Brisbane with the mantra that the humble t-shirt should become an individualistic canvas. Read more

With all the endless parades of feminine frocks at this years’ Australian Fashion Week, we were bowled over by the wonderfully named Song For The Mute. Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty’s second menswear collection subtly breaks the rules of traditional tailoring to create brave new silhouettes. Raw, fragile shirting and delicate, draped fisherman style pants are the antithesis of the usual male uniformity. I walked away from their showcase at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney) with the dream to open my wardrobe and find the entire rack at my disposal.

Collaborating with UK artist Tim Laing, Das Monk designer Marc Hendrick has created a fictional world inspired by the apocalyptic paradise that is Mount Hexx. Theirs is a sinister world of kaleidoscopic colours and ripples of psychedelia, of serenading Queens, of dancing flamingoes, of unimaginable euphoria. Curiosity and hypnotic dreams have led many to Mount Hexx. But all that glistens can turn cold. Those who have dared to take a glimpse and failed to conquer Mount Hexx are now sadly immortalised in its folklore, wandering its shadows aimlessly.

Australian t shirt label Junior Massive have just introduced their new Vinyl Art collection, which includes head, horse and bird. The images were crafted out of an old record, carefully maintaining the eye line of the subject, and matching it to the hole on the record. The result is some slightly twisted limited edition and one-off print designs, all made sweatshop free in Australia. Read more

In December 2007, two Sydney graphic designer buddies — Chris Ebbeck and Som Vongsonephet — got together and formed their own clothing label — My Life Is — because they were tired of seeing shirts in shops that they wouldn’t wear. The creative duo are living their dream by producing super-comfy, stylish tee designs.

During a recent visit to Australia, I picked up one of these Das Monk tees. I figured I’d bring a little piece of Down Under-style back to America with me. They’re a sweet fit and run just a touch longer than a few other brands I’ve worn, so they pair well with fitted jeans. save yourself an airfare and grab one from our online store.

How hot is this cut-aged copper bracelet decked out with heart-shaped charms? Icon Brand’s designs of late are definitely heating up raw aesthetic appeal. I’ve got my eye on their bullet, rosary and dog chains. You got to love this 1977 Byron Bay-born company that still continues to deliver quality goods.

Keep it simple stupid. That’s the idea behind this design. Fashion label Eleventh Commandment wanted to created something that was as far away from the Ed Hardy ‘cram as much shit onto one shirt’ approach as possible. Voila. This singlet is 100 percent premium 150gsm combed cotton and is made in Australia.

Created by Aussie label Eleventh Commandment on 100 percent premium combed cotton, the design on this tee is a hand-sketch by Sydney artist Joshua Oldfield of Kate Moss enjoying some coke. As she does!

Simple, colorful and somewhat esoteric, I really dig the work of New York illustrator, Rich Tu, a new SVA graduate student. It was something else to see his finely textured images blown up to poster size and beautifully displayed at the recent SVA student show. Read more

Yes, Cuteoverload has been doing it for years, but can there really be too many sites devoted to cute animals? Fuck Yeah Puppies may not be original, but they have puppies. Lots and lots of puppies.
There’s some nice, doom-tinged psych rock coming out of Holtzclaw, Virginia in the form of Pontiak, a lumbering, feverish, blues-heavy trio that sounds like a hungover morning after a drunken party around a bonfire in the woods.
