Hermès Fall-Winter 2025 Runway
Hermès’ 2025 Fall-Winter collection exhibited at Paris Fashion Week this month can be described in three simple words – Confidence, Purpose and Leather! The collection introduces bold new shapes in luxurious materials with a mixture of creams, neutrals, and shades of green assembled to form a dynamic collection. Mini shorts, tailored jackets, riding boots and oh-so-many leather-clad models made this collection a standout. The fashion house filled the room with lean lines and strong silhouettes. Over 60 new pieces designed by Creative Director, Nadège Vanhée were paraded as the epitome of powerful feminine expression. The dirt runway paid homage to the brand’s equestrian roots and were further referenced through the show with slick-back hairstyles, riding boots and a plethora of leather looks. Vanhée aimed to create enduring pieces with this collection like the classic black leather trench coat featured repeatedly in the looks. The leather theme was perfectly complemented by accessories adorned with broguing and buckles, yet another nod to the brand’s equestrian origins. Hermès proposes the idea that ‘function is a source of strength’ and emphasises the value of confidence in movement. This utilitarian collection aims to rewrite powerful femininity by combining masculine tailoring concepts with feminine silhouettes. Hermès […]

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.

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

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.

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 […]

Gant Swimwear Spring Summer 2017
For Spring/Summer 2017, GANT Swimwear offers a collection that is perfect for days (and nights) both on and off the beach. It includes bold patterns and subtle hues, plus popular classics and brand-new innovations.

That’s why this year the GANT Swimwear collection expands to include a range of styles and cuts, a variety of patterns and prints, and fabrics suitable for many different occasions. COLLECTION Two contrasting destinations on America’s East Coast provide the inspiration. From Cape Cod in New England, a nautical theme blows in on a sea breeze, with a marine palette of red, white and various shades of blue. There are also all-American stars to go with the stripes and the multi-color blocks: The classic star motif is represented in white against a blue background. Further south, the Latin vibe of South Beach in Miami inspires a range of more relaxed designs. Cotton blends in washed-out pastels, oral and foliage prints, and yarn-dyed madras checks […]

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.
