A few shots from the show of some of my favourite bits and pieces x

My wee camera 

Emelie Johannson: 'You Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve' - very fortunately this photo does justice to the stunningly beautiful colours she used in her collection.  I'm coveting a pair of the marbled tights something terrible.

Glenn Yungnickel: 'In the Red' - Again, I love the colour.  Glenn hand dyed all his own fabrics.  Such a clean collection.  I love the dual tone panels on the jackets.

Ryota Shiga: 'A I'- I LOVE the outfit on the front right.  I actually asked Ryota outright if I could buy it off him.  I think he had to use it for another competition but fingers and eyelashes crossed it will come to me one day and I can embrace my Azian tendencies in the utmost of style xx

Laura Marshall: 'Men in Men's Clothing' - Laura used doyleys!  Of all things!  And made them look AWESOME. FOR GUYS. (Yes, enough with the fragmented sentences)  Now if she would just make a womens wear collection please.

Sophie Hardy: 'Possession Obsession' - I am in love with this collection.  Sophie makes dressing all in one colour look so effortless and sophisticated. 

Finale, Finito!

Lost treasure lost,

Thunderc(l)ubbing

Thundercub, who I wrote about last month here, enjoyed a wee success recently.  Their song "Sex on Jupiter" was chosen to be used as the intro music for the 2010 iD Dunedin fashion show.  Yeah boys!

Tonight they'll be playing at a house party in support of Jeffrey Lewis.  Nothing like a good old house party.  Cask wine, couples feeling each other up in dark corners, a drunk chubby guy throwing up in the garden.  To be young, amorous and pissed. 

As Suzy P's telling us, if you're interested in Thundercub, check out the video below from Off the Cuff.  The project of a talented young man by the name of Daniel Alexander, it's a great mix of interview and performance footage; the tangents the boys go are hilarious, especially DJ's Banana, peanut butter and golden syrup sandwich in relation to the process of making music.  





The Biff Merchants were also involved in the project and are definitely worth checking out.  Fingers crossed Daniel's looking into continuing the project with other Dunedin/New Zealand bands xx

Great Scott!

So far this week has been crazy busy.  In between blogging for Runway Passport, modelling in the 'Back to the Future' show run by the Op Shop on Carroll Crew (ie Presbyterian support), interviewing some of the local and international designers for articles, helping out with preparations for the iD fashion show and doing my normal job, there's few precious moments to just sit down and enjoy the simple things, like Home and Away (yes, I love to hate to love it).  I really wouldn't have it any other way though.  So enough rambling, here are a few photos from the mischief I've been getting up to the last few days. Over and out [ccccccsshhhh].

It's tough being beautiful.

I maybe

Music Hype hosted a competition to remix The Mint Chicks 'Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!'.  A couple of new comers from Poland won the competition, however, I feel like its something I've heard a hundred times over; the same relaxed synth beat, the kind of thing you space out to when your standing in a bar having had a little too much of everything, your feet on auto pilot, your brain in some other realm, it just doesn't stir anything in me.  

Scratch 22's remix is one of the only ones not to go down a electro/trance/d'n'b road, perhaps that's why I like it. Checkit owwwt.

Say what?

I'll be blogging about iD Dunedin fashion week for Runway passport this week!  

Pop on over to peruse reviews of all the main shows, side events, and for one on one interviews with the designers, courtesy of myself and my friend Ryan.  Having popped down the to the judging today for the Emerging Designers competition, I can tell you that it's going to be a stiff competition and a LOT of fun.

So go on then! What're you still doing here? Skidaddle on over thank you!
