SLEIGH BELLS @ The Prince Bandroom, Melbourne. Jan 2011

My first introduction to the Sleigh Bells was fittingly enough, in New York. I happened upon the Gramercy Park Hotel’s Rose Bar and wandered into the Lacoste party. It was fashion week after all.

Fashion, Theatre + Film

Fashion + Film in Australia: Does our steadfast support of local designers on the red carpet transcend to style on the big screen?

Red carpet arrivals are the quintessential representation of all things glamorous and glittering in the universe of entertainment. In this case, the fantastical world of film – Australian film to be exact. That little gem of a thing that is slowly but surely turning itself into a goldmine, sifting through a river of talented individuals […]
