Roopa 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.

Read MoreZhivago Resort ’18 Review
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…

Read MoreThe Male Makeup Conundrum
Words by Matt Huxley Firstly yes it’s been a while. Secondly I’m not sorry. I feel like lately the whole “should men wear makeup” issue has been back on everyones lips.

Read MoreVampiric
Words by Matt Huxley I feel like it’s no secret that I’m attracted to the darker style of things. A shaded corner, the colour black, notions of vampires, ripped clothing and gunmetal. All of these attract me like a piranha to a carcass and now that 90s grunge is back in fashion, it makes it…
