HI Everyone!
On Wednesday night, we saw the star of The Jam and The Style Council,
Paul Weller play at The Tivoli.
Famously known as The Modfather, Paul stylish as always in a Black Knit Tee,
Black Bootleg Slacks and beautiful Black and White Leather Lace Ups performed
a mixture of new and old including Shout It To The Top, That's Entertainment,
and after 3 encores finished off the night with A Town Called Malice.
I LOVE this song!
The Australian Graphic Design Association held their annual awards
at Brisbane's Convention Centre last Saturday night and the recipients of one of
the highest possible accolades The Pinnacle Award was won by 3 Deep Design
for their work with Six Scents Parfums.
We have been stocking the New York based fragrance collection
for nearly two years now and besides the unique fragrances and concept,
everyone often remarks on the packaging design which is obviously a credit
to Melbourne's 3 Deep Design.
If you haven't seen it, come in and take a look!
Lots more new things in both stores.
Here's the latest...

your Animal Nitrate shorties, crank up the disco ball
and start Spinning Around to Neon NIghts.
My favourites in this collection are the Old Gold pieces
in the textured ottoman fabric which are finished with
fine gold zips.
Such a great new colour for the season which will lend
itself to lots of interesting colour mixes with shoes, belts,
tights and blouses.

Exit Through The Giftshop; Special Edition DVD set
This film showed recently in Brisbane in a very limited release at The Tribal Theatre.
Bought to us by internationally renowned artist Banksy, I left the cinema enlightened
but intrigued.
Is this a mockumentary?
Is it all a complete scam or is it an honest journey of a voyeur turned artist
and the culture and world surrounding his journey?
I am still not sure and so will definitely have to watch it again.
Luckily we are now stocking this box set ($35) which includes:
Exit Through the Giftshop DVD
2D glasses designed by Banksy
Sticker Set
Collectable Art Card
Available NOW at The Outpost!

Every season PAM create pieces that are outside the mainstream fashion trends
yet they manage to create pieces that are so fashion that
they have no time limit - no expiry date.
Does this make sense?
I have PAM pieces from 10 years ago that are still avant garde today.
Surely, this is a sign of good design.
This is our first delivery for the season with more to follow and
a big thanks to Joel for being our men's wear model.
Perks and Mini in store now at The Outpost!

Gemma Smith Exhibition
save the date
Gemma Smith is one of Australia's most popular, contemporary young
artists with an impressive list of exhibitions under her belt as well as being
the recipient of many awards and scholarships for her colourful and optimistic
works.
I was lucky enough to see an exhibition of Gemma's work at Sarah Cottier Gallery in
Sydney earlier this year but now she has made it a little easier for us
by presenting her new works locally at Milani Gallery.
Must see!
I apologize for any delays in getting back to you with email enquiries
from interstate and overseas.
It just gets a little hectic in the store sometimes but we're doing our best!
Hope to see you soon,
Thea X
