JACQUEMUS Fall 2023
WAS IT PRINCESS OF THE PEOPLE OR PRINCESS, CONFUSED? The show opened in picturesque France with guests seated in boats. To the far left was a leafy park with a red lipstick-like carpet, separating it from the water. The carpet adding a slice of glamour and celebrity dividing the natural landscape, which reflected the Musé-…

Dancing with McQueen
At 1:35am we finally arrived to our hotel. Melbourne looked peaceful at night. The sky was unfamiliar and sprawling. Mesmerized, I watched out the window as glittery fingers stretched across the darkness, all the way to the countryside. I never liked Melbourne. I found the weather too cold, the coffee over-rated and the idea of…

Self-preservation 22′
Self-preservation womenswear 2022 ’Self-preservation’ is a womenswear collection that encourages contemplation, in how we treat other human-beings much like how we treat our clothing. We discard, we keep, and we store sometimes even just the memory of people, long after they’ve left us. As the collection progresses, the harsh quilted plastic sheds itself like a…

Why My Career Won’t Be My Passion
There is a toothless gap between like and love. Passions and Careers. I know I like drawing/designing and that I love writing. The difference most evident through feel. Passions are more than just a habit or hobby. It’s fluent, thoughtless and yet full of thought. When I’m writing, I think my hands and mind talk to each other more honestly…

Handbags That Keep Me Up @Night

On the daily commute, I often adore gawking at Vogue’s street-style looks, snapped at the latest Fashion Week. I think it’s a non-offensive claim that the randomness of…

The Art of the Wabi-sabi Wardrobe
There is a difference between looking and staring. The act of staring involves shrugging off the polite glance of 1.5 seconds that society prescribes. Instead, these outfits or colours provoke an instantaneous translation from external to internal; where our thoughts are so explosive they focus our retinas’ inwards. This ability being one of fashion’s proudest qualities. Established…

Transparency; The New Orange
Working in in retail, people often ask what is the best thing about working in the industry. I respond with nothing. We receive the award wage only for the government to take a nice rounded bite out of the small caramel slice they gifted. Five hours of standing, consistent talking, smiling and thinking; with no more…
