Puma opens in Doncaster

Are the rest of you eastern suburbs fashion devotees looking forward to Doncaster shoppingtown re-opening properly after its revamp as I am? I had a my first sneak peek the other day and what's already there looks genuinely fabulous. It's like a stylish shopping oasis already. Good old Chaddy has some competition on its hands methinks. So I tripped down briefly to see the new dedicated Puma store as it launched last week. They h

Happy 30th Birthday Diesel!

Diesel is turning the big 3-0. And they are having a worldwide birthday bash to celebreate (not in Oz though - awww) But we still get all the presents... On Saturday the 11th October at six simultaneous parties are going to be sparked from Tokyo, Beijing, Dubai to London, Sao Paulo and finally New York City. 18 cities are in on the fiesta - that must be some kind of record, surely. And it will all be broadcast live on the web.

RSVP - MSFW Right on Track

The Collin Street precinct is getting into the Spring Fashion Week swing with their sophisticated parade entitled 'Right on Track' (you can take that to mean either the iconic tram tracks or the race track).

Casting call...

I'm helping to scout people for a photographer friend who is currently putting together a team for a new fashion concept shoot in October or November 2008. Specific date to come. The photographs will consist of a series of different themes, street style, glamorous, and everyday elegance.

In particular he needs female models and designers who have samples to shoot. You get all copies for your own publicity use at the end.

Alexi Freeman & Kwamee by Francis @ Q

Many nightspots are beginning to realise the pulling power fashion has. 2threads has visited several major nightspots around town who regularly hold parades as a teaser to draw a stylish crown through their doors and one such Melbourne spot even has a whole night dedicated to the fashion industry. This time is was Q bar’s turn to get on the bandwagon and the South Yarra bar roped in some

Splendour in the Grass

As I sat amongst the various stars of the festival that had just been, I reflected on two of the best days I have ever been a part of.

The best memories flooded back first, how the boys from the land of fire and ice seemed to send shivers through the bones of those watching.
And managing to lead a flock of people through a crowd of ten thousand people, to land right on the cold barrier, with a perfect view of the sta

RSVP - 'Luxe' Afterparty at 1806...

Are we all hyped about Melbroune Spring Fashion Week yet? I am certainly well into the outfit planning stage by now - how am I to compete with all you other gorgeous Melbournians and interstate lovelies who will be there? So, any fashion week is a hectic time around here (we are trying to cover dozens of shows this year as usual) but you know what makes it all worthwhile - the afterparties! This year they have really done their re

St Albans Textiles turns 40...

While we often like to showcase the talents of the bright young things of the design world here at 2threads, it’s also great to give a nod to the Australian fashion companies that have survived and flourished over time. St Albans Textiles celebrates its 40th year of producing quality mohair, alpaca and wool throw rugs and scarves.

The Gough family purchased the business in Melbourne in 1968 and still to this day are

Gorgeous Cosmetics - Sheer Brilliance

On the 'things I'm enjoying this week' list; Gorgeous Cosmetics celebrated the 2nd Birthday of their salon/retail space in Melbourne Central. Their stuff is designed, packaged and bottled in Australia which is a bonus (though the actual product may come from from Italia). Gorgeous is probably the name I see popping up and doing the make up at the most events apart from those well-known bohemoth internationals. Along with the bi

David Jones Melbourne S/S 08 Launch

After a hyped up beginning in Sydney, the Miranda Kerr juggernaut rolled into Melbourne town last week. While many fashion aficionados had already glimpsed the David Jones Spring Summer 2008 collection fashions the first time around, the buzz surrounding the event was not dulled as the glamorous model’s name remained on everyone’s lips.

Local indy designers are set to educate the fashion savvy and show that sustainability and style don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Jenny Bannister @ the Fashion Incubator

Having the luxury to listen to stories of Australian fashion stalwart Jenny Bannister’s journey was a treat a select few fashion students and aspiring designers were treated to at the Fashion Incubator. The 50-something designer has endured through the hard-partying 70’s punk era, the affluence and the opposing stock market crash of the 80’s into new territory today where profits rule.

Air Kisses & M.A.C.

Aw, why do I already have plans for lunch this Friday? In an inspired collaboration, the cosmetics queens at M.A.C are having a celebration in honour of 'Air Kisses', a new book by Zoe Foster. The story takes us along with protagonist Hannah Atkins as our, admittedly less-than-immaculate, heroine somehow breaks into the perfect world of beauty editorship.

Skybombers album review
'Take me to town'

Where aren't the Skybombers these days?! These boys have exploded onto the music scene with charisma and true rock star attitude. Just like Oedipus was destined to marry his mother, this four piece band was destined to stardom with tunes as catchy as that 'my dad picks the fruit' Cottes ad (but a whole lot more stylish of course)! The Skybombers long awaited album 'T

Smirnoff Secret Experience Melbourne

So the Smirnoff Secret Experience juggernaut has come and gone yet the buzz surrounding the events, held across the nation, remains. After hiking a kilometre from our designated meeting point at Flinders Street station to our now disclosed venue, The Palace, I’m glad to have worn my dancing shoes.

'Five Pockets' at the Lee Gallery.

What do you get when you give 32 photographers a pair of Lee jeans and say “get creative”! You get one fabulous and edgy gallery! Five Pockets was the outcome of some of Australia’'s best photographers unleashing their creativity.

Project Runway Australia Launch Party

I adore Project Runway. It's always interesting seeing what creations others will come up with while contending with constraints of time, budget, materials and theme.

Now the series is coming to our (pay) TV screens featuring 12 Australian designers who want to boost their fashion careers. Plus it's based in Melbourne which is icing on an

Autonomy launch party

The designer name Autonomy may not be instantly recognisable to those outside the fashion set but the label is certainly making strides in that department by recently opening up a shopfront on Chapel Street in Windsor. The space itself is industrial with polished concrete floor, light sabre lighting fixtures, wires and metal poles and lots of minimal matte black. But this is tempered with pale wood-grain and the tactili

Igloo Zoo Culture Bar Opening party

Hands down the cutest accessory at the Igloo Zoo launch party in Malvern last week was the snowy white hound hired to “guard” the door. I curse that I couldn't smuggle him out under my coat. In keeping with the whole winter wonderland theme, the staff were rugged up in furry hats intended to make even the most stylish Eskimo envious. The evening was atypically balmy for Melbourne winter so guests, including models Kasia G, Sc

K-Swiss 'Heritage Collection'

K-Swiss is getting in first by just this month resurrecting a line of their patented mens sportshoes that have been left on the design shelf for nearly two decades. K

Absolut 15 @ Miss Libertine

Basically Absolut 15 is a charity event in which 20 Dj's vie for the $1000 prize that goes to their nominated charity. The catch is they only have 15 minutes in which to win over the crowd. Will that mean that we have 15 minutes of gold material or will the pressure be too much for some (I highly doubt it)? Last year's Melbourne winner and runner up will be on hand to defend their respective crowns. Where -

With the governments’ current and *sigh* admittedly necessary focus on binge drinking it’s probably shameful to admit I’ve used the quote, ‘I’m not an alcoholic - I’m a journalist’ on the odd occasion.

Tony Bianco VIP evening

I have at least three pairs of Tony Bianco's shoes in my closet! For a girl who is a clothes fiend rather than a "shoe" person that isn't bad. And my most comfortable, strut-anywhere-without-being crippled-in-a-mere-three-hours little black stilettos are of the same label. This VIP night is a thank you treat for valued customers and a few familiar faces like Erin McNaught, Eliza Jane Cotter, Elise May, Pia Miller, Chri

Make your way past the slinky spider web lighting and expansive bar that is Miss Libertine, up some stairs and batz!

A Very Famous Easter

Superclub night Famous broke out from its usual Saturday night slot at the Queensbridge Hotel to impress itself upon for two nights over the recent Easter long weekend. Perhaps it was the atmosphere of this festive mini-holiday or maybe it was the promise of four whole days in which to recover, but the crowd were certainly in a celebratory mood. Like a sterotypical daytime Christmas holiday special the t

LMFF: Runway 2 - Vogue

The second of the L’Oreal shows got off to a late start, as excited guests rushed in trying to find their seats. The night was a showcase of both Australian and international labels and dominating colours were dark purple, pale fawn, and, of course, black. Fashionistas wanting to eat a bit more over winter and hide it away shouldn’t have a problem this season, with many outfits by these designers far from fitting.&

Gingerlee

The café precinct of Brunswick has just gone one better with the newish Gingerlee that opened on the corner of Lygon and Edward Streets.

LMFF: Pop Up Show 4 - David Jones

David Jones was always the prettier sister of Myer; slightly more high maintenance, occasionally too rigid and traditional - but less fickle. That’s possibly why Megan Gale, a 32 year old brunette with the typically refined features of the upper crust was store ambassador for so long. So how does David Jones do ‘street’?

L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Wrap

There weren’t many lowlights at LMFF 2008. Discovering my car broken into at the station car park after an hours train ride home at midnight would be one.

LMFF: Pop Up Show 2 at QV

QV has been unfairly sidelined in Melbourne’s ever expanding map of fashion temples and tourist map hidden secrets.

However, on Tuesday, city workers and the curious

Runway 1

The Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival kicked off their offical runway parades with names entrenched in the Australian fashion psyche.

The Red Market

It may have been the glass (or two) of bubbly at the parade beforehand or the fact that I had Melbourne Fashion Festival parades scheduled from 9.30 a.m and forgot to pack any form of sustenance for the day; but in-between shows I wandered into Target city to kill some time and managed to snare the bargain of the week. A cute pair of latte slip on sneakers – and with change from $2.10!

1806 is just a year to most of us, but at the new bar venture at 169 Exhibition Street, history classes begin as soon as you open a beautifully researched cocktail menu and entering into unknown bar territory comes with surprises.

Sunshine, Sweat & Slam

Fashionable Future

Everybody has been talking about how green is the new black. It’s a sadly necessary trend that is certainly not going out of style anytime soon (unless we all find a new planet to inhabit).

Tennis comes to a close at Eve
