Little Treasures Market Launch Night

Hi there SydneyCiders ;)

Little Treasures Market launched on 21 July and it's a great place to snap up some super cool fashion pieces. It's amazing to get to know local labels and be in an environment of creatives. Here are just some of the stuff on offer at District 01 (7 Randle Lane, Surry Hills). It's a Sunday market so if you're free you should definitely check it out. The market is run by Margaret from la petite mademoiselle selling very cool and stylish local labels. The market boasts many handmade vintage inspired pieces. And if guys think that it's all for girls, Dear Pluto does menswear!

Check out Little Treasures Market's Facebook page to stay updated on when the markets are on. Even if you can't visit, you should take a look at what the labels have on offer on their website.

I love getting to know designers because every label has a story. These opportunities are much bigger at markets because well, the designers usually man their own stalls. Kee Kee named her label after her grandparents Laurel & Hector and finds very interesting fabric for her label. Pigeon & Weasel are room-mates who make scented soy candles in recycled beer bottles!

A Party That Was NO GOOD - SUCK IS FREE Launch Night!

My attendance to my first ever launch event and it was crazy as hell. What a way to end a traumatising week of uni exams! SUCK IS FREE held their launch last night at a basement +ESTATEofMIND and it went off! A mix of crazy designs, crazy designers, crazy bloggers, crazy dogs and just general craziness made the night amazing. It was an awesome night for me and I thank A Series Of Fortunate Events and SUCK IS FREE for having me there. Everyone looked awesome in their gear, because not only do #UKNOWIAMNOGOOD, everyone was just badass.

How good is this?!

+ESTATEofMIND

+ESTATEofMIND was excellently set up. The decor was so awesome and showed of a lot of their super interesting pieces as well as the highlights of the night, SUCK IS FREE. It was great to see everyone dressed up ready to kill it and showcase some of the most creative and out-there pieces SUCK IS FREE had to offer. The bold prints and in your face attitude is what +ESTATEofMIND and SUCK IS FREE is all about.

LOOKBOOK | No Good

SUCK IS FREE is launching their label at +ESTATEofMIND this Thursday night, 20 June and I'm super excited to be a part of this launch. The AW13 collection U KNOW I AM NO GOOD is all about the underground, subculture and just everything crazy and no good, but the fashion? It's crazy good. Excited about the brand? Check this out. The label is super creative at reconstructing pieces and using hallucinogenic prints.

No Good is the look I'll be wearing to the event. The Panel Cap boasts the label's logo and the design is really good. It's a strong cross between words and pictures that makes it visually appealing and demands attention. The loudest piece is of course the Parka Jacket from its sample range. It's actually a restructured upside down jacket which gives the look much more texture. This idea is fresh and experimental, giving it an edge in creative design. Oh and googly eyes? Yes pls. Also really excited about the Print Tee, it feels so occult with those symbols.

Suck Is Free aw2013 - U KNOW I AM NO GOOD

Thanks to A Series Of Fortunate Events, I'm crazily excited to be involved in the launch event of S I F in Australia this month, a Hong Kong born fashion label. Suck Is Free is releasing their AW collection.

This label is everything fun and pop culture, everything current and retro, everything crazy and a little bad. The unique prints are appropriated from hallucinogenic visions which reveal a lot of character and attitude. The in-your-face boldness of the look ties in well with it's likeable obnoxiousness.


Also, just from their sample range, there is a lot of texture at work, reminding me of Japanese street fashion tied in with HK freshness in the look. It feels a lot like mix and match to create a super unique look to reflect anyone's loud personality. If we number them left to right, I think I'm quite crazy about the 7th look. The treble clefs are such interesting additions to the whole look.

Looks like it's going to be a crazy launch night.
