Hi Everyone!

Have you been looking at any of the Northern Hemisphere
shows?
I've had trouble keeping up with them all, but here are
a few of my favourite looks.
Actually, I think that these photos are me on different days
of the week.
Yeah, right!

We we're in Sydney last week looking at the first of the Australian collections for next season.
Particularly beautiful was the Arnsdorf collection.
Jade is now in London showing her collection.
She is then travelling on to Paris where other Australian designers Dion Lee and Gail Reid will also be showing their collections.

I leave for Paris next week too, so hopefully our paths will cross and we'll get to have a Cafe Americain together.

I've got a packed schedule starting with the Gareth Pugh show on my first day, so there is definitely no time for jet lag!

To add to the excitement, we've had these new season deliveries through bursting with delicious things.
I hope that you love them as much as I do.

Lover, Sydney

very reasons.

What's New at The Outpost?!


The Director's Cut by Philos-o-face, Melbourne

Philos-o-Face Badges are $33 each

Designer Prudence Rees-Lee unveiled this new collection during the recent
Melbourne Film Festival to 4 star reviews!

The perfect gift for a true film buff or perhaps a bit of inspiration for
a film and television student?

This assortment of influential film directors ranges from Orson Wells and
Sir Alfred Hitchcock through to Jim Jarmusch, Sophia Coppola and Spike Lee.

Each badge comes mounted on card with a memorable quote from the director
and on the back is a selected list of some of their most famous films.

One of my favourite quotes is from Jean-Luc Goddard
"I pity the French Cinema because it has no money.
I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas."
Philos-o-face is available exclusively in Queensland at The Outpost!
