Yousef Akbar Resort ’18 Review

Words by Matt Huxley It’s official. Sequins are back. Back in a big way. The Yousef Akbar woman takes reference from the hedonistic Studio 54, 70s glitter punk and 80s prom queens. There were moments of brilliance. A skin tight pair of dusty pink sequinned pants, a matching turtleneck layered with an emerald green slip.…

The New Coat

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…

But one item that has escaped the majority of us is texture. Certainly it may not be the most important item to consider, but including a textural element in your look…

Bringing Back The Pendant

Words by Matt Huxley I am unashamedly a wrist-jewellery man. I love all forms of watches, bracelets, bangles, rings etc. Neck jewellery however I generally gave up once I grew out of that early teen phase where beaded necklaces were all the rage. Nowadays, minus the odd choker, my neck is bare. That was until…

Trans-Seasonal Layering

Words by Matt Huxley I’m just going to come right out and say it. I hate this in-between season period. I am definitely one of those people who just likes to plan out what they’re wearing for the day. I don’t want to have to worry about if it’s going to get cold or hot later.…
