There are many designers riding on the digital print wave but Emma Cook 

has made it one of her signatures since she launched her own label in 2001.



Emma mostly references nature but she is clever at montaging ideas and for this spring/summer

collection she has thrown a western slant on her magical animals.

You have to see these in real life as the clarity of the prints and colour is amazing.

So cool.

As always, Perks and Mini create their own world and this distinctive collection

drawing from music, tribal and surf culture is so fresh and unique.

I was actually at a club in Paris once when Mischa Hollenbach from

P.A.M. was DJing for a fashion week event and he has incredible

taste in music.

Also an incredible mind as you tell by this imagery.

It's Ibiza crossed with Ancient Greece and it's so much fun.

Ellison, Dress Up, Antipodium, Lover, Dr Denim, Nathan Smith, Carhartt, Woooo!





HI Everyone!


I feel like the whole year is peaking in March.


Could there possibly be any more going on?!



Since my last note, I've been to Sydney twice for our Spring/Summer

Collections, so have been deliberating over orders.



The social calendar has been relentless.

I saw Paris Manhattan and Cafe de Flore at the French Film Festival

and both were fantastic.




Jane Birkin at The Powerhouse was wonderful. Such a beautiful woman.




The Dirty Three at The Tivoli were also incredible - powerful, moving, sexy, brooding and

Warren Ellis is a very funny man!




Per Purpose and Dead Farmers at Woodland were wild and we

danced to lots of great 60's and 70's stuff from DJ Checkers.




It was Ladies night at The Zoo with Brisbane band Feathers and UK band Electrelane.

Such talented woman!

The girls from Electrelane hand made these beautiful note card sets and they kindly signed

my envelope.

I gushed.




Psychadellic rock band from San Francisco, Wooden Shjips took us on a trance inducing journey

 with visuals and were musically amazing.

Matt Brady is friends with Ripley Johnson (also Mood Duo) and he kindly got

the band to sign my vinyl.



...and lots of fabulous new season deliveries!
