Thirty Years of Costarella










Aurelio Costarella is West Australian fashion royalty. He has built his brand in Perth, an accomplishment when considering how isolated Perth was from the fashion world, especially 30 years ago. He now boasts an impressive body of work, some of which is now on display at the WA museum until early February. I definitely recommend going to see it.

Costarella is an example of hard work paying off and it's very inspiring to see some other WA designers becoming more successful whilst still basing themselves in Perth. I think there is a general idea that Perth is a very difficult city in which to pursue a fashion career. This may be true to some extent, but it is probably a difficult task in a lot of cities. I also believe that the Perth fashion industry is very nurturing, and starting to receive more national and international recognition.

Speaking of local fashion, I also viewed the Frock Stars exhibition, which was about the history of and hard work that goes into Australian Fashion Week.

Melbourne photo diary






















The amazing bars and cafes tucked away in secret places, the abundance of cakes and sweet treats, being able to eat a meat pie with tomato sauce at the footy, the architecture and the huge offering of shopping in Melbourne is what made this trip so special.

Street Art










 H&M Coat, Sportsgirl scarf, sass & bide jeans, Witchery bag, shoes and jumper.

These photos were taken on Hosier Lane during a recent trip to Melbourne. We wandered on over after having brunch on Degraves St (I recommend the Eggs Florentine) to have a look at the art. While we were there we saw an artist spray painting and it was great to see how his work went from start to finish. 
The street art is incredible and a must-see if you're ever in the city. I think it is definitely in tune with the city's reputation for being very arty and a culturally rich city.
