DI$COUNT.T.

On the front porch in my DI$COUNT tshirt. Was great to finally meet Nadia & Cami the lovely designers who are getting ready to launch! Very exciting. I will treasure this T-Shirt.

Today I made this necklace out of my broken Moshino belt...now it reads something along the lines of MOON.SICH. Whatever that means.

Gotta mention the gorgeous seller DejaVintaj on etsy who I got these boots from. She also sent me the glass pendant that I added to my necklace, as an extra wee gift. She makes these out of old lamps/broken prisms. Thank you Marianne! (check out her shoes! I'm stoked with these boots!)

DI$COUNT Universe EXHIB.

Last Friday night I checked out the DI$COUNT exhibition at Blackwoods gallery here in Melbourne.
In awe of their frikkin unbelievable work!!!!.....

The idea was that a group of artists in Japan, London and Melbourne (DI$COUNT girls) sent a bunch of stuff to each other and each group had to create something out of the parcel of stuff. (boy o boy that was a fabulous sentence.)
Then the works have all been exhibited in each of the 3 countries. (I know they had the exhib in Japan, not sure if London has had theirs yet?)
You can see by the pictures on the wall next to each outfit what the original materials were.

Gonna go pick up a DI$COUNT t-shirt very soon! Can't wait to cover myself in the stuff.

Awesome to see Ladi6 last night at the Corner!

70 year celebration!

Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood turned 70 this month, so here is a tribute to the incredible designer............

Shoes from her Anglomania days
1993

This is strange but I remember watching this moment on the 6 o'clock news when I was a kid!....Naomi taking a tumble in a Westwood catwalk show 1993-5.

Kate and Naomi during those Anglomania days. Naomi wearing Westwood.
I have never been able to shake this image out of my head from the moment I first saw it.

Detail shots of a Fall 1997 show.

John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood in 1993.
Two of my favourite designers that heavily influenced my work back when I was studying fashion.

This video is quite something. Vivienne Westwood is being interview on BBC1 in 1988 by Sue Lawley, with guests Russell Harty and Janet Street-Porter.
That Russell guy is a total dickhead; I don't understand why the audience is laughing and I am so glad that Janet Street-Porter (who looks great!) says what she says at the end about Viv.
Dame Westwood conducts herself with such grace, I would have been extremely angry!
I absolutely adore the collection of outfits she is showing here.

Took this photo as a test shot a few weeks ago, thought I'd post it anyway.

Thank you!

Etsy felt hat, black T bought in Dubai somewhere, Belt from the Salvo's (in the nice stuff cabinet), leather pants from the Salvos re-hemmed into shorts.

I like this very much.

Have a nice day.

Chuck you in a time machine and take you to the mall in 1990!?

I don't know why I find this interesting...probably because i remember going to the mall as a kid. Also for the fact that the 90s don't feel all that long ago but they are called 'vintage' or whatever now.
Am I starting to feel old!? I'll just say 'hahaha!....yup.'

I love the start of a decade...they are still dragging the 80s with them but with a whole 'fresh' new spin! Would ya look at them go!
(The last picture looks like Melbourne 2011!!....but in a mall)
