New! Antipodium, Benah, Pass Port + Holiday Markdowns!





Hi Everyone!


After seeing this film at BIFF a year ago, I had been desperately trying

to organize another screening, to no avail.

Now, Palace Centro have come to the rescue and Bill Cunningham New York will open

on the 24th of November.




Watch the trailer here:






EVERYONE I know that has seen it has loved it and I think that you don't

necessarily have to be a fashion lover to enjoy it.

It is simply a beautiful life story on a man's career passion and he is

seriously so precious.



You will fall in love with Bill Cunningham.

You can buy tickets to the opening night here:


 

 

 

Antipodium

"No Vacancy" Resort 2012


Paradiso Shirtdress in Silk Crepe de Chine Pool Print by Karl Maier $399

 

Also available in Caramel Silk Matelasse $399

 

Antipodium are always generous with their print collaborations, not

by choosing big names but the innovators.



Karl Maier is one one of the founders of the infamous Rinzen

design team which started life in Brisbane over 10 years before

the partners decided to work together but separately in Sydney,

New York and Germany.



Karl has been based in Sydney and is soon heading off to live in 

London where he will continue his own design work along with

the exciting new company Craig and Karl which  he has formed

with Craig Redman.


 

Craig is well known for his character Darcel Disappoints (Karl Lagerfeld

is a fan) and also received acclaim for his exhibition of "famous faces"

which opened in Milan during fashion week recently.

















Woody Allen by Craig Redman 

 



I adore this minty, Crayfish print that Karl has created for Antipodium.

It's so kitsch and summery and a refreshing print idea that is begging for a 

matching cocktail...

New! Richard Nicoll, Lover & Nathan Smith and Edwin Man Love!






Hi Everyone!



I saw two wonderful films this week.

I thought I'd better get ahead before BIFF started.



Autoluminescent is a documentary on the musician

Roland S Howard who sadly passed away in December 2009.

This film was already in the works when Roland died so luckily

there are recent interviews with him as well as my husbands Nick Cave and

Bobby Gillespie.



It follows his career, relationships and life from The Young Charlatans, The Boys Next Door,

  The Birthday Party and These Immortal Souls through to his final solo work.

I got to see him play one last time at All Tomorrow's Parties where he performed

 on top of the hill on Kangaroo Island in January 2009.

He was magical.



Autoluminescent is screening now at Palace Barracks

and here's the trailer:


 

I also saw Woody Allen's latest Midnight in Paris which was

a very enjoyable romantic escape.

It had the Allen nuances but in a very subtle and easily digestible form,

almost to the point of mainstream, but I loved it anyway.

Owen Wilson is kind of adorable and it was fun to see places in Paris

that I have visited and loved like the Musee de L'Orangerie...



Midnight in Paris is currently showing at both Palace Cinemas as

well as Dendy Portside and here's the trailer:


 

 

 

 

It's another big week of deliveries!

For Richard, this collection was all about freedom and movement and he

took his inspiration from the moth, both in it's cocoon and on the wing.

His beautiful wool cashmere coats and tapered elasticised tops

represented the cocoon concept and these gorgeous free flowing silk

dress shapes were inspired by the wings.



Richard has continued collaborating with his close friend, English artist

Linder Sterling who has developed these sensual collage prints

on his classic shapes - obviously with freedom on her mind - hello Ladies!

Richard Nicoll is available exclusively in Queensland at Blonde Venus!
