Zambesi Resort ’18 Review

By Matt | May 18, 2017 |

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…

Roopa Pemmaraju Resort ’18 Review

By Matt | May 17, 2017 |

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…

Next Gen Resort ’18 Review

By Matt | May 17, 2017 |

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,…

Zhivago Resort ’18 Review

By Matt | May 16, 2017 |

Words by Matt Huxley It’s really no secret that I have a deep, undying love for all things Zhivago. The edginess, the fact that the creations are inspired, and the fact that it’s all just so goddamn extra. It speaks to the inner drag queen in me. Somewhere inside of me, there’s a Latrice Royale…

Steven Khalil Resort ’18 Review

By Matt | May 15, 2017 |

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…

April Empties

By Matt | May 14, 2017 |

Words by Matt Huxley Let’s go through my trash: Stefan Shave Oil: Phenomenal, loved every second of using it. It has this effect of clumping up your beardsy bristles so that they’re easier to remove. Great product. Lush Snow Fairy: Made me smell like a candy scented goddess so what’s not to love? Bathox Rose…

Review: Rosehip Plus

By Matt | April 21, 2017 |

Words by Matt Huxley Rosehip Plus is one of those ubiquitous brands in the bathroom closets of the world. Chances are you heard some new age genie sprouting the benefits of Rosehip oil and happened upon this reliable brand in Chemist Warehouse. Well. Rosehip Plus is so much more than that little brown bottle of oil…

The New Coat

By Matt | April 13, 2017 |

Words by Matt Huxley A new coat length has been in the works for a while now. The longline duster coat hit womenswear a season ago and it’s crossed over to menswear (finally). Harking back to 60s country trips, replete with leather driving gloves, a picnic basket and the Beatles on lock, the duster coat…
