Words, beautiful words. You love to read them and to write them. You know that people want to read stories that change the way they feel, the way they think and the way they live. And you know the words that can do it. If that’s you, you’re the FEATURES EDITOR.

Lover release a capsule collection called White...
Lover’s aesthetic has long been tied in with lace, so it comes as no surprise that designers Nic Briand and Susien Chong have decided to release a capsule collection based on what has become their signature fabric.  Exploring some of lace’s underappreciated qualities - “it can be evil and naughty and kinda cheeky and be really virginal and really pure,” said Chong of the...

Interview: Clare Vivier is trés chic in L.A.
In the raggedly bohemian, character-filled suburb of Silver Lake in Los Angeles, the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Micheltorena stands out for the modern, light-filled studio standing on it. Inside, designer Clare Vivier is discussing plans to introduce travel luggage to her eponymous leather goods line.  “It can be done,” says the soft-spoken Vivier with conviction, empathetic emphasis on the...

Interview: Melissa Coker of Wren talks colour and...
I was lucky enough to be invited to check out the Wren studio when I was in L.A.; situated in a nondescript neighbourhood, its factory-like exterior showed nothing of the riot of colour and brightness that was inside. Unfortunately the woman behind the brand, Melissa Coker, was in New York while I visited (doing bigger and better things - video to come in another post, love it!) but I still...

Shop L.A.: local Californian design at Vivier &...
“The emphasis of [Vivier & Bentley, formerly owned by jewellery designer Kathryn Bentley and bag designer Clare Vivier*] is mostly local L.A. designers and artists, like these ceramic hanging pieces are by a woman named Heather Levine and like the stained glass and handmade shoes, they’re all people who live in Echo Park or Silverlake [suburbs of L.A.]. And then we have other lines mixed...

Anna Wintour vs. Stephen Colbert
Colbert: Clothes are commerce, that’s all they are. Wintour: I think clothes also reflect the culture and the time. If you look at a great fashion picture say of the sixties it tells you just as much about what was going on in the world as a headline in the New York Times. Fashion is self expression. Fashion is really about, if you’re talking about a great designer like Miuccia Prada, she’s going...

Interview: Kym Ellery reveals the story behind her...
An unlikely source of inspiration helped make the Ellery show stand out at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia. Kym Ellery’s guilt over discarding a soft toy from her childhood, a bear named Delicatessen, was the driving force behind the collection, according to the show notes. Apart from Mickey Mouse-style silver ear headbands, one could hardly tell - the inspiration was subtle, but...

Manning Cartell part 2: Cheryl Manning
If the braids didn’t give it away, the vibrant colours, jungle florals and vaguely Aztec-looking panels would have: Manning Cartell were inspired by Frida Kahlo. Steering away from Kahlo’s identity as tortured surrealist, the trio instead focused on the painter’s identity as a creative genius and uncompromising feminist. Digital prints and a warm and dare I say, spicy*, colour palette were...

Petal prettiness at MBFWA
I’m not much of a street style person, but when I saw Connie of K is for Kani’s floral headband, I was like a Japanese fangirl: “OMG! So pretty! Photo, photo, PHOTO!” … Anyway, I then found out Connie makes and sells headbands on her Etsy store. Talk about petal prettiness to the max.
