Verduci-Smith

The sisters behind the label Verduci-Smith have a casual elegance. Sitting in their showroom off Brunswick St. Fitzroy, the duo Josephine and Michelle explain the hard work it takes to create a successful business. After 2 ½ years and 5 collections, Verduci-Smith is still a young label, yet they are already being sold in Asia, shown on runways in the U.S and garnering much interest in Dubai. The women are proud of their successes i

Rising Angel V.I.P Night

A crowd of around 50 people crammed into the Red Box Cafe on a weeknight. Made up of friends, family, and a lot of local Brunswick residents with recent haircuts, the atmosphere was both friendly and low-key. Fold out chairs ran along the walkway to the bar, the tickets desk was staffed by two young women with great hair and a small metal box, and a table with ear candles for sale was stuffed into a corner. By the front window, a handwrit

For Better or Purse

‘Twas a dark and stormy night. That’s why the crowd was thin at For Better or Purse this month. Also, the brains behind the event was off overseas and had left “her baby” in the care of others.

Box Magazine Launch

The area outside was dotted with extremely expensive cars. A few smallish boats languished at the pier beside the building, and a two-man red helicopter perched on the jetty. Nobody was quite sure who owned it, but all agreed the owner hovered in on it earlier, and was in attendance. Welcome to the world of the rich.             Box Maga

The brainchild of tireless Cameron Hill, either you have seen the flyers, posters, internet whatnots or surreptitious namedrops in various magazines, or you just aren’t really hip yet. It’s ok. You’ll get there. Both event and organization, Midni

L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival- Runway 6

    The room was controlled bedlam. There were a few more men here than usual, due to the smattering of male fashion promised to the well-dressed and masculine. The camerapeople stuck to their wall in front of the runway, lenses of different lengths protruding like a wall of spikes.                 Ligh

L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival- Runway 4

    It was hot. Dozens of freebie-bag plastic fans fluttered in the crowd like excited butterflies. In the dim light, with boxed smoke circling around my ankles and up the V.I.P.’s dresses, the movement added to a feeling of otherworldliness.                 With the sound of rain and thunder heralding them in, the
