I was at the B2 Studio in Alexandria to oversee men's label ThreeOverOne shoot their S/S10 collection. Above is a first peek. Taking inspirations from Irvine Penn, Jim amassed a number of talents from different backgrounds and professions to take part in the shoot. Notably, not a single professional model was used. The finished lookbook will reflect the label's rugged elegance reminiscent of the 40s and 50s.

The Living Edge by Henryk Lobaczewski
Sydney photographer and good friend Henryk Lobacczewski is known to be a compulsive creator. Recently, this talented photog has expanded his artistic repertoire to make pieces of furniture that reflect his keen passion for antiquity and perhaps also, lost weekends in recycled timber mills. The table shown is made of 150 yr old Oregon timber and stainless steel legs. What I appreciate most is the wood finish that allows form and function to accompany the material's sense of history.
This one-off table has been put on sale by Henryk. I am sure it will be an interesting retreat for its new owners. Please contact me if you wish to enquire about more of Henryk's creations.

Catch up Australia
On Fashionblogs from Mary Scherpe on Vimeo.
Suzy Menkes, Head Fashion Editor of the International Herald Tribune talks about Fashion Blogs and their significance. Included in the video are the opinions from some of the biggest fashion bloggers on the planet. We know there have been rumblings about the lack of support for Aussie bloggers. This video illustrates that while Aussie labels should heed the relevance of blog media, our bloggers have to strive towards originality and aim to be at least as vibrant as their international counterparts.

X -Ray Lover
"We live in a world obsessed with image, what we look like, what our clothes look like, houses, cars...I like to counter this obsession with superficial appearance by stripping back the layers and showing what it is like under the surface." -N Veasey
Extraordinary Brit artist Nick Veasey explores inner beauties, quite literally. Above is a sample of some of my favourite Nick Veasey images. For shoe fans, image at a top is an x-ray of a wrapped parcel containing Jimmy Choo shoes, unsurprisingly beautiful in their skeletal beauty.
When I asked Nick if he had any desire to show his art here, the answer was a resounding yes.
Gallery owners keen on exhibiting more of Nick's treasures, please let's get together and work to make it happen. Additionally, I'm sure we'll be able to find a few things here in Australia that we would like to subject to a bombardment of ionizing radiation. Apologies Mr. Abbott...
