new year nearly near

Well get ready to say adios, bon nuitte, gutten nacht, zi dien etc to 2009!  And say ola, bonjour, ni hao 2010 :)
I don't know about you crazy cats but i am super excited to start this New Year with a BANG!
Metallic Dreamer will be stocked in a gazillion places, i'll take my trip o/s for production, finalise web designs and i'll be on my way to dressing everyone one at a time in Metallic Dreamer pieces! Now that is just my plan... here's to hoping it all comes to fruition!

What are you New Years plans and resolutions?

Love xx


i heart jessica hart

So... move aside Abbey Lee because i have a new girl crush and her name is Jess Hart!
She is about the take on the fashion world by launching a range sold through General Pants co.
Her Jessica.Hart/blog is so simple, yet filled with complexity.  So frank and not one ounce pretentious. You may recognise Jess from many campaigns around Oz and that of the world in the last 5-8 years but more recently as the face for 'Seafolly's' Spring/Summer 09.10 range in stores now.
Be sure to check out her blog... it's a real treat!

inspiration 14.12.2009

This artist Anne - Sofie Madsen blows my mind.  See full post @ Cyana Trend Land
The future is near with all the crazy geometric prints & silhouettes evident in many designers collections.  
My near new haircut (am getting this done next week!!)  Will post photos!
Food for thought... never travel to the moon (sorry Virgin Galactic)

The second image is incredible... apart of the previously linked Anne-Sofie Madsen works.

Hope you've all been well... i will be fairly MIA for the next few days as i am busy getting the rest of my pieces ready for my stockist... Metallic Dreamer will be available from 'Trilby Phoenix' on Oxford Street from December 20... get in quick as stock is very limited!

Love xxx T

men in black

Click pics to enlarge!







Stunning photography by Matthew Brookes for the New York Times 'style magazine'.
The series, named "The Brothers Grim" recalls when men wore topcoats and top hats. 
Brookes is a fashion and portrait photographer whose usual aesthetic is lighter than this midsummer night’s dream (or drama).

the sartorialist

It's not often you can say you've met your idols... now i can!
Scott Schuman is a man of great talent to which i have followed for 2 or so years now.  
He is a worldy man, full of amazing stories and with images to boot.  His pride of work serves as a testament to time and a snapshot of the way fashion really plays out on the streets... not just diluted fashion faux pas we see in some fashion mags.
He is real, very picky about whom he shoots and an absolute charm!  Meeting him tonight was lovely :)
Visit his site and buy his new book, appropriately named 'The Sartorialist'

Bonne Nuit x




o what a day








So i had a fabulous day in Sydney town today.  First, a great day @ work for Sass & Bide mainly due to the banana i devoured at 8am (ultra energised :)
Secondly a wonderful visit to my friend Emrys's where i found these amazing images in an old fashion magazine... and thirdly (my post next in line) i met 'The Sartorialist' at his new book signing at Sass & Bide on Oxford Street.  Working for the company helped me and the girls get in before the rush!
I just love the images in his new book, but more in next post... hehe.

Love xxx T

my style

If i were to style a shoot completely from my own inspiration without any brief from photographers... THIS is how it would look... my ideal mix of black on black with hints of metallic!
I do love a bit of colour here and there, but ideally this is where i would like fashion to stay forever (or at least for another few seasons) :)

kids in couture

I do think it is adorable to see a little kidlet wearing clothing that is worth more than they would earn in the next 15 years of their lives... however there is such a fine line that can be crossed where these tiny bundles of joy are exposed to a world which requires maturity and humility.  What do you think?
It certainly grabs my attention when i see images like these:







inside intern land

So i have been interning @ Grazia Mag Australia and i am having a blast... scouring through racks and racks of clothing, footwear, accessories and props from all the crazy photo shoots created by the wonderful Fashion Director, Mark Vasallo; assistant Fashion Director, Peter Simon Phillips and 'flat lay' styling by the gorgeous Anouk Collantoni & Louise Cavanough.
We are summoned to return all stock back to PR agencies and fashion houses around Australia and to tape shoes ready for the photo shoots.  
The fabulous interns are so essential in keeping the Mag on it's feet as we fix up all the 'paperwork' (ie lost stock, returns, cleaning garments etc).
You need to be very dedicated and as i do 2 days per week even more so!

I am excited to say that since starting my internship 2 weeks ago, i have already shown the Accessories Editor, Lousie Cavanough my collection and she will be shooting them 'flat lay' tomorrow!
'Flat Lay' just to fill you in (if you didn't know) is when a garment/accessory is photographed on a flat white background in a photographic studio without a model.  In the glossy mags you will see many 'flat lay' images scattered throughout!
Fingers crossed my accessories will feature in a future issue of Grazia Mag :)
