Have shoes become the most important part of your wardrobe?
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 […]

GUCCI DANS LES RUES
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 […]

MITCHELL OGILVIE: How A Shirt Should Really Fit
How A Shirt Should Really Fit. The collar should just graze your neck without constricting it. If your collar turns when you turn your head, it’s too tight. You should be able to comfortably slide two fingers inside your collar when buttoned. The shoulder seam should meet at the corner of your shoulder bone. Assuming you’re not a body builder, sleeves should not be so tight that you can see the details of your arms, but they should also not be so loose as to give you no form whatsoever. Your cuffs should extend to the point where your palm begins – about 2cm longer than your wrist bone. Cuffs should be a bit looser than a watch, but not slide farther up your wrist than a watch. The test? When you bend your arm, your cuff should not move more than 2-3cm up your arm. And finally to the always controversial shirt length… You never want your shirt to become untucked from moving, bending, going about your day-to-day. Fold your hands behind your head to check – it should stay tucked in. If it becomes untucked, the shirt may be too short or the armholes too low. Seek professional help! MITCHELL OGILVIE OFFERS MADE TO MEASURE SHIRTING with custom tailored to […]

THE IMPECCABLE TRAVELLER
Spring Summer 2018. The view from a window seat is often little more than a blur as a train glides from one landscape to the next. Moments race by at breakneck speeds, reminding us that life is movement – a continuous journey from one station to the next – the Canali man is both spectator and participant. As each stop is made, the elements of the journey are laid out one by one and the passenger is treated to moments of closer observation and reflection. The destination that becomes clearer as it appears along the horizon. The Spring Summer 2018 collection is an homage to the man who is constantly on the move, whether for business or pleasure – or for business and pleasure – and to the continuous discovery that his journeys bring. Impeccabile 2.0, a fabric created exclusively for Canali, is a material that rises to the challenge of dressing this global commuter.

LONGCHAMP’S MADEMOISELLE IS THE BAG OF PARISIAN DREAMS
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 […]
FOREVER ICONIC: MONTBLANC PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE CHARISMA AND BEAUTY OF MARYLIN MONROE
New Montblanc Muses Edition writing instrument celebrates the life of one of the greatest style and cultural icons of the 20th century. Adulated stars, cultural icons and flawless beauties, the supreme elegance and irresistible aura of the 20th century’s most legendary muses are captured in the writing instruments of the Montblanc Muses Edition. As the ultimate symbol of glamour and femininity, Marilyn Monroe is the latest muse to join the edition. A talented actress with incomparable charisma, she appeared in more than 30 films during her lifetime and enchanted audiences with her distinctive music recordings. Above all, Monroe is widely recognized as the incarnation of sensual beauty, embodying a timelessly elegant, but provocative style that is still admired and emulated today. The new Montblanc Muses Marilyn Monroe™ Special Edition includes a fountain pen, ballpoint and rollerball, taking inspiration from the glamorous life of a vulnerable and shy woman who lived her life in the limelight. Every design detail of the Montblanc Muses Marilyn Monroe™ Special Edition evokes the film goddess’s signature style. The shape of the writing instrument is inspired by the 4-inch heels Marilyn Monroe favoured, and that became characteristic of her personal style. The colour of the precious […]

Gucci Fall Winter 2017 Advertising Campaign
Gucci is pleased to announce the arrival from outer space of its Fall Winter 2017 advertising campaign, shot by Glen Luchford. The retro-futurist settings inside the images dreamed up by Creative Director Alessandro Michele were inspired by the sci-fi genre of the 1950s and 60s, including the iconic TV program Star Trek. As revealed on Instagram in April in a series of videos intercepted from the furthest reaches of our solar system, this season the collection is transported to a parallel universe where a mixed cast of humanoids, aliens, robots and earthlings unite for the Gucci invasion from a galaxy far, far away. Human characters interact with extra-terrestrial creatures and dinosaurs on Earth and are then beamed up to surreal, psychedelic outer space landscapes and trippy spaceship interiors, creating wild and fantastical compositions. CREATIVE DIRECTOR: Alessandro Michele ART DIRECTOR: Christopher Simmonds PHOTOGRAPHER/DIRECTOR: Glen Luchford HAIR STYLIST: Paul Hanlon MAKE UP ARTIST: Yadim Carranza The Fall/Winter 2017 collection will be available in stores within the next month, so race into Gucci on Edward St to go #gucciandbeyond GUCCI 190 Edward Street, Brisbane QLD 4000 Australia
