Dressed to disguise…

Freelance costumer designer, Noella Thomson has given us enough reason to want to play dress ups again, with her beautiful designs. Having recently created masterpieces for Sarah Blasko, Patience Hodgson and Megan Washington, she's established in her profession. Having the imagination of a 4 year old, but the talent of a 40 year old, this Melbourne based lady is well worth remembering for the day you become famous and want a frock to shock.

Material World

With a Spring/Summer 11 collection that's already changed the way fashion sees knitwear, it's no surprise that Craig Lawrence is quickly becoming a well-talked-about kind of a guy. Only 26 years old, Lawrence is achieving big things with his new line which is set to be presented in London Fashion Week, February 19th. Moving away from the predominately gold palette he used in the AW 2010 line, Lawrence uses silver fabrics in ways unimaginable. To get a sneak peak at the line before it hits the runway check out www.craiglawrence.co.uk to view the entire collection. Keeping in fashion with all the other big names, Lawrence has produced a short film of the range which is bold and striking, the perfect accompanying accessory to any catwalk stopping collection.

Fashion’s dark horse

It would appear that design duo, TRIMAPEE are more than happy to keep things dark this spring season, with their Spring Fashion Week Runway 2010 channeling dark colours and heavy detailing. The line features the majority of the pieces sporting weaved elements, something we're backing as the next trend. For something a little bit sexier this summer, match the weaved over garments with basic slips and don't forget to add some serious attitude to your footwear.

These wedges are made for walking

Summer just got hotter with the latest Fashion collaboration between Aldo and Julian Louie. Kicking off the Spring 2011 season with a bang, Aldo has designed this wickedly wild range of platform wedges. Getting back to earthy basics, Aldo has used tribal prints, patchwork and a vibrant palette. The only let down of the collection is the near impossible task of picking which pair we want! For more head to Aldo..

With independent jewellery designer Rebecca Roth, never expect to see her latest piece on all of your friends.

Visit her website and order yourself a little piece of fancy finger work. But be warned, with reasonable prices like hers, this won't stay a secret for much longer.

I am woman hear me roar..

Never being one to stick to conventional, Kit Willow has commenced the launch of her Spring Summer 2011 with a fierce growl, choosing to use video marketing to get the attention of Fashion critics. The short film titled Lady into Cat, is beautifully isolated and wild, showcasing the ‘Untamed Wisdom' collection on Australian model, Emma Balfour. The short film is some of fashion photographer, Sharif Hamza's best work, capturing the seductiveness of the fashion, the wilderness and the majestic puma seen lurking throughout the film. Witness the wild at its best at www.willowltdcom

Tasty accessories

Local Melbourne jeweller Lucy Folk is the brain behind this gorgeous accessory. Her three collections are called Seafood, Pasta and Nibbles - who knows what food group will be next? The food inspiration comes from hanging around her father’s café from when she was knee high to a grasshopper. Her jewellery is stocked at Alice Euphemia in Melbourne’s CBD and Arabella Ramsay in Armadale. Ahh what a clever cookie!
