No. 6 is the result of two creative friends getting together
and making cool things.
Vintage collector Morgan Yakus and stylist Karin Bereson opened
their No. 6 store in LIttle Italy, New York in 2005 stocking a mixture
of vintage and avant garde labels and their own designs.
They became particularly well known for their clog collection
which preempted the recent wave of popularity.
They have a strong NY art/music association and have even collaborated with
Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon.
I love their clothing style as it has that definite vintage aesthetic but
also very modern and very easy to wear.
The girls have designed their own prints and I think that these fab
photos by Peter Sutherland convey their image and label's personality very well.
The No. 6 girl is having a good time!
No. 6 AW11 is available exclusively in Queensland at Blonde Venus.
Introducing...
POMS, Sydney
Photography: Rene Vaile
Art Direction: Tristan Ceddia
The first time I saw these I was maybe taken aback.
A pom pom on a ring?!
My Mum loved pom poms and I think that it had something to do
with her admiration of the Greek national dress.
Now that I have worn a Pom on my finger, I have become very enamoured.
There is something precious about them and something kind of exotic
like wearing YSL in the Moroccan desert.
Maybe, Yves would have liked a Pom?
Each ring is carefully hand constructed and features a combination of
semi-precious stones, Greek and sterling silver beads, bamboo and wool and silk
threads.
POMS are available at P.A.M. Store (Syd), Poepke (Syd), Someday Store (Melb)
and are available exclusively in Queensland at Blonde Venus.

Sometimes, when we have stocked a label for a long time, you feel like
you know it super well.
Like a girlfriend, you know her personality traits, her strengths and weaknesses
and her little nuances.
Sometimes you might drift apart, you might need some time alone.
I feel like Arnsdorf and I are watching movies together again.
In fact, it looks like she has been borrowing my Kevin Murphy Powder Puff!
The collection feels very modern and the colour mix is light and fresh.
This is the first Arnsdorf delivery for the season, with more coming soon.
Arnsdorf in store now at Blonde Venus.
See you soon!
