Marilyn Monroe once said, “Give a girl the right pair of shoes, and she can conquer the world.” Looking at the current shopping trends of Australian women, there seems to be some truth in her sentiment. Women have recounted stories about their love affair with shoes for decades. Unlike apparel, shoes have the ability to change the way a woman feels in an instant and its not just about how they look and feel on our feet, but they directly correlate to how we feel within our self. Whether it is walking taller, or faster, or walking firmly to the ground, a woman’s selection of shoes directly relates to their emotional wellbeing. According to Fotini at Peter Sheppard Footwear, women are starting to dress from the ground up. “Shoes are the first item purchased these days and then an outfit is matched to the shoes after that,” she explains. “We find that women are becoming more adventurous with their footwear. No longer are black and brown the staple colour as women are leaning towards vibrant colour, or patterns. Mixtures in materials such as a patent leather mixed with calf, or stretch materials paired with high sheen leather is also really […]

Peter Sheppard shares with us the importance of correct fitting footwear and their tips for finding the perfect fit.  Shoes serve many functions. They protect our feet. They cushion our body weight.

Gucci’s Pre-Fall 2018 campaign is inspired by the French Nouvelle Vague filmmakers of the late 50s and 60s. “Major League Baseball trademarks and copyrights are used with permission of Major League Baseball Properties, Inc.” Gucci’s 2018 pre-fall campaign was captured in Paris, following on from previous locations in Florence, Berlin, Tokyo and Rome. For the #GucciDansLesRues collection, Gucci is transported to 1968, the spring of student awakening in the City of Light. Gucci’s young rebels occupy a university campus in a gesture of optimism, idealism and passion. Unafraid to express themselves, they unite in a desire to celebrate change and challenge the establishment. The campaign captured and directed by Glen Luchford, is inspired by the bold, experimental and iconoclastic French Nouvelle Vague of the late 50s and 60s, a movement that included radical filmmakers François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. The protests of 1968 began in May, when students marched on the Sorbonne University. The time was ripe for change, fuelled by the new cultural lingua franca of rock ‘n’ roll, the existential philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and a new politics of participatory democracy. The action of the Parisian students had a ripple effect that engaged the workers and intellectuals of the country […]

Brisbane’s new, exclusive bar Luxury men’s tailor-made clothing boutique, The Cloakroom, located on Elizabeth Street has opened The Cloakroom Bar this month. The Cloakroom Bar is an exclusive, hidden bar, accessible through a laneway off Elizabeth Street next to The Cloakroom. Guests are then directed through a gate and a fire escape, before reaching a door leading to the bar. Dark curtains and black-and-white photos adorn the candle-lit room, creating a warm ambience upon entering. Intimate areas within the bar include a spot to seat four, in an area that was a former change room, a private section to host ten to twelve people and a large outdoor space. The Cloakroom Bar does not carry a cocktail menu and instead create a bespoke cocktail experience, based upon a discussion with a bartender on cocktail preferences. To experience your own bespoke cocktail, visit The Cloakroom Bar. 1/215 Elizabeth Street, Brisbane City Wednesday to Sunday: 5pm– late

The anti It-bag. Yes, French chic is a thing. The Internet has seen many a non-believer put their two cents worth on why ‘je ne sais quoi‘ — that elusive French insouciance — is a fashion myth, and we couldn’t disagree further. Wander down the streets of Paris (not along Champs-Élysées, Avenue Montaigne or the Eiffel Tower) and you’ll catch a glimpse of her. That quintessential French girl: navy jumper tucked into light wash straight-cut denim, wispy tresses knotted low on the nape, and face left bare save for a swipe of blush and mascara. She’s into barely-there makeup, not no-makeup-makeup. Her effortlessness the reason why she’s so alluring. And that, is exactly the appeal of Longchamp’s newly minted Mademoiselle bag. Understated, simple, functional; at its core an accessory we term the ‘anti It-bag’. No bells, whistles or supersized logos distract from its sumptious calfskin — unembellished apart from a hardware lock closure, the perforation on its body, and a discrete wax seal motif upon its hangtag. Lop it over a soft, white cotton tee and wiggle on your best jeans, because that’s all it really needs.  Available in two sizes at Longchamp boutiques from 29 August 2017. For a taste […]
