Review: Alpha H Golden Haze Face Oil
If you had told me at the beginning of 2022 that Alpha H would be launching a facial oil this year I would have laughed you off. It’s not that the idea of the Glycolic-focussed brand launching an oil is laughable – far from it – it’s moreso just rather out of left field for…
Read MoreReview: Soroci Morning Drizzle Creams
Words by Matt Huxley Going in to the dreaded summer months, I’m always on the hunt for lighter, water based moisturisers to give my skin the water content it needs to prevent dehydration. I’m a foul sweater so this is a very real concern for me – nothing worse than dehydration lines! Soroci is a…
Read MoreThe Best Aussie Skincare Brand You’ll Ever Use
Words by Matt Huxley I rarely find a brand where I have a genuine and undying love for every single product that the brand in question produces. This happened for me this week with an Australian brand, Karinda Skincare. Oftentimes we (myself included) can be so focussed on finding amazing overseas brands in the French,…
Read MoreAkira Resort ’18 Review
Words by Matt Huxley A perpetual embodiment of the androgynous, oriental aesthetic, the Akira show is always one of brilliant craftsmanship, inspired ideas and unique silhouettes. Think longline layers, loose fits, and a largely white colour palette. Highlights of this collection included a turquoise coat/pant set with a white and beige granddad collar shirt. It was…
Read MoreVmajor Resort ’18 Review
Words by Matt Huxley As the international show for MBFWA, Vmajor had a lot of expectations to meet, and they didn’t disappoint. Bringing back the sexy 70s in a retro-modern way that I certainly didn’t see coming. Think fringing added to skirt and top edges and sides. Retro plastic earrings, billowing silk dresses with large…

Words by Matt Huxley Have you ever wondered what Mary Lennox would be wearing if The Secret Garden was set in the 21st century? Well now you know. We Are Kindred presented a sophisticated, romantic and insouciant collection that answers that very question. Wisteria-hued bishop sleeved dresses and blouses drifted down the runway, anchored by…
Read MoreZambesi Resort ’18 Review
Words by Matt Huxley As the proud owner of approximately 20 highlighters, I am absolutely a fan of anyone highlighted af. Zambesi’s models were absolutely highlighted to the gods. What’s even better is that the clothes EXACTLY matched the shade of highlight on the cheeks. I mean. Brilliance. The clothes were phenomenal too. Sheer metallic…
Read MoreRoopa Pemmaraju Resort ’18 Review
Words by Matt Huxley It was a bright and colourful debut for Roopa Pemmaraju. Debuting their Indian inspired range to a crowd of minimalists agog with anticipation is no easy feat. But boy did they deliver. With an ethnically diverse model cast (which should be on every runway tbh) they debuted stunning look after stunning…
Read MoreNext Gen Resort ’18 Review
Words by Matt Huxley Next Gen is always a mixed kettle of fish. On one hand you have the opportunity to discover the future faces of the Australian fashion industry, on the other hand you also get to see the result of overconfidence and ambition. Whilst none of the designers in today’s showcase truly flopped,…
Read MoreSteven Khalil Resort ’18 Review
Words by Matt Huxley Do you remember that scene in The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestley is at James Holt’s atelier and purses her lips at the catastrophic dress that he had designed specifically for her? Well it unfortunately happened today at Steven Khalil for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia. That probably makes it sound…
