  • NIGHTCALL FANTASY

    NIGHTCALL FANTASY

    An exploration of the night and its accompanying nocturnal moods with PRADA FW21.

    For the nights where love and lust float through the air. It becomes tangible, like something you can pick up and eat. It tastes sweet and tart and easy.

    For the nights where confidence flows through our veins. He occupies a world where he knows what to dress and for what occasion. And it was always with a Prada garment.

    For the nights of fantasy. A brown boy. A mother’s son. Creating from his heart. Looking at the world from the wrong end of a telescope. It was nonsense and beauty and he liked it that way.

  • A DROP OF BLUE IN THE CRATER

    A DROP OF BLUE IN THE CRATER

    Reconnecting with one of my original favorites, Jac+Jack, to style, story, and showcase some of their AW21 pieces from their menswear collection.

    I titled this editorial A Drop of Blue in the Crater because the current AW21 drop from Jac+Jack is an array of blue hues, and the location looks to be a natural crater. Nothing poetic or symbolic hiding in this title, it’s literal.

  • RESORT CITY

    RESORT CITY

    RESORT CITY is all about finding the median between holiday and resort-wear whilst living and working in a city that is by the beach. Such a city provides new meaning to workwear and everyday style.

    This editorial is all about the Resort City style, featuring Australian luxury label Commas, and accessories from Italian label Tod’s.

  • WHERE THE WILD FLOWERS ARE

    WHERE THE WILD FLOWERS ARE

    One of my favourite projects of the year. Where The Wild Flowers Are is an editorial featuring Kim Jones’ Dior Men’s Resort 2021 collection. Photographed by Joel Tozer, shot in the Snowy Mountains, and directed by yours truly.

    Watch the video here.

    And Jordan, the king of all wild flowers, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all. There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen. “And now,” cried Jordan, “let the wild rumpus start!”

  • MBFWA 2016

    MBFWA 2016

    MBFWA is still fresh in my mind. We’re drawing close to the end of the year and I am finding that I still revel in the euphoria of the clothes I wore, and shows I saw at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, 2016.

    As I write this article, I can’t help but be drawn to think what it is, exactly, that holds me captive to the hustle and bustle of Fashion Week (MBFWA). I find myself continuously glamoured by what the Fashion world holds, and its swift anchoring once a year for nothing but a week keeps me crawling back for more.

    I used to sit at school, at home, or at work scrolling through ‘#MBFWA’ on Instagram on the hour – at a minimum – to discover everything I possibly could. I’d sit down in a state I’d rightly describe as a type of melancholic lust (commonly referred to as FOMO) for the event I’d never thought I’d attend. Now, I can’t quite seem to put the idea or feeling of how incredible it is to see everything happen (IRL) into words.

    There are times throughout this week that leave me lost for words; feeling incredibly small and invisible. You may believe this is to be sad, but to me it’s beautiful. I compare this feeling to being 5 years old and being taken to a new candy store. There are so many sweets and treats that you’ve never seen before and – naturally – you need to inspect every lolly in store. It’s exciting, invigorating, and although the lollies don’t see you, you see them.

    I found myself perched inside Carraigeworks, against the wall of glass, watching the who’s who, fashion’s elite, and the incredible, beautiful people being snapped and pap’d as they stroll in. The perfectly poised pink dressed that stole the air from my lungs (Tanja Gacic), the monochrome beauty that caused many to double-take (Gabriella Bjersland), the stylist that stole the show in fur, and the dapper gentleman that continues to school my ability to piece together mix-matched suiting attire (Sam Wines) – these are only to name a few of the memorable glimpses from this spot. Click on the descriptions to see what I’m talking about here.

    Although watching the Fashion Forward make their entrance is fun, making your own entrance with whatever you choose to wear for the day is even more so. I’m going to highlight one outfit that added to my euphoria of MBFWA. From my absolute favourite brand, wearing a double blue Jac+Jack outfit and being snapped by the gorgeous Sara Heaven – it was a definite change to what I wore last year! And a beyond-positive one at that.

    In 2016, my highlights go out to Bondi Bather, my local legends who incorporated the famous Running Man into their show, and Ten Pieces, the knits and seasonal wear all year round that turn surf to city in 10 garments flat.

    Australian brand Model Citizen was a standout and deserves some heavy recognition. The visionary behind the brand, Eeshaal Niranjan, was named GQ’s Australian Emerging Menswear Designer – with this collection, you can see exactly why as he perfectly captures the median of street and sophistication.

    I got an exclusive MBFWA backstage look with Eesh to talk everything Model Citizen. The wait for these street-luxe pieces is almost over, as Model Citizen gear up to have their forthcoming launch by early December, 2016. You check out some of the exclusive images for a sneak peak with MR. TURNER and Model Citizen at the end of the post.

    There’s a very special mention due to two beyond talented designers, Anna Quan and Ahmad Taufik. Both of whom created cuts, shapes, and tailoring in their collections that were all innovative, fresh and new. They both have set a bar in Australian fashion that will defy how I see design going forward. These two are ones to watch, and I look forward to seeing what comes next.

    MBFWA here’s to continuing the events that make my heart skip a beat. The long days, the street style, meeting icons, networking, and hitting back-to-back shows that all add fuel to my eternal flame of love for the art form.

    So, I will say again: there are times throughout MBFWA that leave me lost for words; feeling incredibly small and invisible. You may believe this is to be sad, but to me it’s beautiful.

    It’s in this moment of feeling small and invisible that I get to see the art that is MBFWA. It’s at this moment that I get to watch Fashion constantly reinvent itself. And it’s at this moment that I, enveloped in beauty, dream it to last forever.

    Sincerely,

  • THE PLACE DIVERSITY CALLS HOME

    THE PLACE DIVERSITY CALLS HOME

    Riddle me this: how can you feel such a grand sense of connection to a place where you’ve never lived, nor visited? The place that diversity calls home: New York City.

    “I love New York, even though it isn’t mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.” ― Truman Capote

    When I have my moments of day dreaming, I often think about what it’s like waking up to noise of the city streets or to the view of Central Park. I picture myself walking the overhauled streets and people watching – is it true that it is the only place where you won’t find a typical human being?

    “There is something in the the New York air that makes sleep useless.” ― Simone de Beauvior

    What makes this city run the world? What is it about this place that has everybody talking? And why haven’t I yet been? And with all these questions in mind, until I get myself over to NYC, I can at least dress as if I were there.

    Sincerely, with bagels and Americano coffee’s,

    PRELUDE:

    “Chapter 1.
    He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion…no, make that: he – he romanticized it all out of proportion. Yeah. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.’

    Uh, no let me start this over.

    ‘Chapter 1.
    He was too romantic about Manhattan, as he was about everything else. He thrived on the hustle bustle of the crowds and the traffic. To him, New York meant beautiful women and street-smart guys who seemed to know all the angles…’.

    Ah, corny, too corny for my taste. Can we … can we try and make it more profound?

    ‘Chapter 1.
    He was as tough and romantic as the city he loved.’

    I love this.

    ‘New York was his town, and it always would be.”
