the Papier Bag


...brings new meaning to our concept of the good old paper bag!
First saw this featured on upon a fold and I have to say it is my must have fashion accessory. This bag ticks all the boxes.
The Papier bag is waterproof, tearproof, 100% recyclable. It is made from Tyvek which is extremely light weight, yet extremely robust!

Zimmermann to paint NYC a bittersweet nightshade


Iconic Australian label Zimmermann is due to open their first American store in Soho, New York by the end of June 2010.
I strongly suspect that this undertaking will catapult Zimmermann into the global fashion stratosphere with various European counterparts.
The Spring/Summer 09/10 collection excites me with its feminine sophistication due to the use of soft floral and abstract prints.
To their credit Zimmermann's use of print and colour remains uniquely Australian.

Concept of Style

Style is such a broad subject. For instance who and what constitutes style?
These are just some ideas I wish to explore through this blog.
I would also like to differentiate between fashion and style, as it is my contention that style can exist without fashion and "fashion", is the vehicle for which style can be conveyed.
It stands to reason that an individual may be "in fashion"(fashionably dressed), yet may be lacking in personal style and vice versa!??
