FOR WEEKLY INSPIRATION Why

Zanerobe

The finest tasting meals involve quality ingredients, thoughtfully but simply prepared, and Australian fashion label Zanerobe is proving the previously unthinkable – that this same theory can also apply to men’s casual clothing. Beginning with soft but durable fabrics, their streetwear has a sporty feel and is made to last much longer than the current season.

Several celebrities and sportspeople including Ben Cousins, Benji Marshall and Prince Harry already kit themselves out in Zanerobe’s comfortable clothing, and it’s featured in fashion spreads in magazines including Cleo, FHM and Zoo. Slogans on t-shirts can often go very wrong, but by keeping it simple and sparse, Zanerobe tees are among their most popular and sharpest looking items. Other cool labels for t-shirts and comfortable clothes are: Gfunk&Batz, Das Monk and Material Boy.

This is one for the guys. One of our favourite men’s streetwear labels, Zanerobe, has just released its Fantasy League collection which is inspired by Australia’s fanatacism with sport. Well, it’s true! Designer Jonathan Yeo describes the range as ‘fun and funky’, and he’s on the ball when he say that. On the ball! Gettit. Shucks. We’ve got a little collection of eight Zanerobe goodies to give away to random Lost At E Minor subscribers who send any post on the Lost At E Minor site to one of their friends before August 25 2006 (Read more details and see the giveaway gear here). They include the Search & Rescue navy tee, the Track & Field blue hoodie and the Midtown v-neck white tee. Very cool indeed. [more about Zanerobe]

The ‘Fashion Faux Pas‘ collection from Brisbane-based Now You Own Us ‘is a collaboration of vibrant colours and impossible prints, bringing this collection into the ever so fashionable unfashionable’. Tailored boardies and satin edged cardigans demonstrate the increasingly chic direction of the label, yet it’s chic without being too smart – suited to any activity you might undertake during a long summer night.

It must be in the jeans. The offspring of musical hedonists Richard and Linda Thompson, Teddy Thompson is one hell of a talented songwriter. Since his debut self-titled album came out in 2000, Thompson has been busy working on collaborative projects (including the ‘I’m Your Man’ tribute to Leonard Cohen) and solo recordings. His latest album, Up Front & Down Low, is a typically skittish and melodic collection of folk tinged melodrama. We spoke to him recently. Read more

The sound New Zealand band The Brunettes make is Hallmark card pop — naïve sincerity mixed with low-fi, casual kitsch. Says chief songwriter, Jonathan Bree: ‘You’ll find us somewhere between US punk and just before classic 60s romps’. And so we will.

Presented as a tableau of vignettes, the work of UK illustrator Jody Barton is executed in a variety of techniques and mediums, yet manages to run the gamut from delicately bold watercolors, to thoroughly noir black and white ink drawings, to child-like, and endearing, colored pencil scribbles.

Ninety percent of the time, you can pick a Scandinavian brand from a metric mile away, which is not necessarily a bad thing considering that the Scands have such a refined, clean approach to thinking about clothes. Read more

This website hosts a nice collection of quirky, sometimes mind-boggling, sculptures from around the world. There’s a certain Dali-esque feel to a lot of them – those surreal, dreamy hallucinations turned into a warped reality. I’ve always been a sucker for art that really catches you out for a few seconds, and these certainly do that.

Charlie Immer

Charlie Immer’s pastel-pallete sometimes obfuscates the gory violence in his surreal images. At other times, it heightens the gut-wrenching and visceral effect of his work. Read more

Paolo Ventura

Italian-born, New York City-based photographer Paolo Ventura creates fairy-tale like pictures out of amazingly constructed, miniature dioramas that almost trick the eye into thinking he’s a tilt-shift photographer. Read more

Celebrity PunchOut

Our celebrity-saturated culture makes many of us irrationally hateful of the faces we see on our TV screens and magazine pages. Good thing there’s Celebrity PunchOut to let off some of that steam.

The Swimmers

I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.
