This season, Karen took her inspiration from iconic English
lady of punk, Siouxsie Sioux.
 
My first ever purchase from Rockinghorse Records in the 
early 80's was The Birthday Party album and a Siouxsie & The Banshees T-shirt.
One day I may show you a photo of me wearing it but I did have
short red hair at the time. Yikes!
Siouxsie known for her amazing vocal style is also well known for
her hair, her eye makeup (those brows!) and her very unique style of dressing.

This collection is available now, in store and also online here:

There are two films that everyone is raving about at the moment
and my mission this weekend is to see them both...

Frances Ha
 
I love this preview!
I can't stop watching it.
Written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach and directed
by Baumbach, the film also start Greta Gerwig as Frances
with Grace Gummer, Adam Driver, Michael Zegen and Patrick Heusinger.

Frances Ha made official selection for the Toronto, New York, Sydney
and Melbourne Film Festivals and has had positively glowing reviews
as a piece filled with positive energy.

Bling Ring
 
This is a trailer that I've had trouble watching but knowing
how much I have loved Sofia Coppola's other films (Virgin Suicides,
Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Somewhere), 
I am keen to see it.
Both of these films are showing now at Palace Cinemas.
 
See you soon!

His name is Simon Porte Jacquemus.
He's French and he's keen to let you know!
Self taught, Simon showed his first collection
in 2009 at the age of 20.

His latest collection is his biggest to date and has been
incredibly well received in magazines and blogs everywhere from Style.com
Dazed Digital, i-D Magazine and the list goes on.

A double page editorial in French Vogue doesn't go astray either!

This collection was inspired by the 1969 film "La Piscine" (The Swimming Pool)
directed by Jacques Deray and starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, Marice Ronet
and Jane Birkin.

Simon Porte Jacquemus backstage with one of the runway models before the show

Even though it's a northern hemisphere Autumn/Winter collection,
Simon held his runway show at a public swimming pool where the
models and the guests wore pool slides. 
The concept continues!

La Piscine Runway show finale

The basis of his collection is uniform style classics with a fashion twist
in natural fibres of cotton and wool.
 
Simon wanted to interpret the very French classic identity of red, white
and blue in a modern and chic way.

Watch this fantastic conceptual video that was a collaboration
with Vogue.com, Pluard Bertrand and Christophe de Heaulme:
 
Jacquemus has picked up an  impressive list of international stockists
including Dover Street Market in London and Tokyo, LN-CC in London
and Marryan Nassir Zadeh and Opening Ceremony in the US..

Blonde Venus is proud to be the exclusive stockist of Jacquemus in Australia!

The collection is now available in-store with selected styles available on-line:
 

Come and take a peek!
