CocoRosie behind the scenes, wearing some cheeky clothes from Line Gallery

A little over a week ago, Ok so maybe 2 weeks,  I helped a good friend of mine style the Cocorosie girls for a shoot in a music mag in Berlin. The shoot will be out in Umag.
photographer: A friend, Bernhard Musil.
styling: Mody Al Khufash who is a very close friend of mine and a fantastic stylist.
I took a few pretty snaps you will see more after the 29th of April
Here are a few:

Ksubi Jeans now in store. They're not wearing them, but I'm sure you would love them.

 

What are those hot boots? Everyone on the shoot wanted a pair of the wonderful Illex Kinni boots (first two pairs from front), including the CocoRosie girls. Also Roni wanted her shoes back (brown, third from front).

Come into Line Gallery before it relocates at the end of April to a yet to be disclosed location. All we know is that it won't be in Berlin - so this month is the last chance for Berliners to take advantage of Australian imported directly to their doorsteps. We will, however,  be opening on-line store soon. Keep an eye out for it!

Rittenhouse in Dazed and Confused UK

After getting back from Paris fashion week with the lovely Roni Ginach, I was very pleased to see that one of the ranges I was viewing, Rittenhouse, is already getting great press. (In addition to the rest of our labels, I tacked Ksubi on at the end of the trip...and now I can't wait till February at Line Gallery)

Put Your Pants Back On

It's cold now. No more short shorts, no more summer dresses, no more fun. It's is time to get serious, get off the beach and go back to work. So for the Back-to-School/Office push, start looking into a new pair of pants, and of those, we have plenty.

Here are some examples, you may have seen a few of these before, but come try them on, you never know with pants.

Sass & Bide:


Rittenhouse:

Claude Maus:

And Bassike:

Keep your eye out for upcoming events at Line Gallery this fall, and for god's sake keep your pants on.

Rittenhouse Squared

As the sun begins to set earlier, the evenings get a little chillier, and the mid-summer afternoon rain that kept the grass in the parks green, lush and perfect to laze around on has more or less faded out, we begin looking ahead to Autumn. While I love summer in Berlin, a city with copious amounts of public space that lends itself easily to lots of serious business hanging, it is, in the end, land-locked. So the prospect of Autumn is somewhat of a relief, in that the desire to flee in any direction in search of a large body of cold water might soon begin to dissipate. But forgetting this haunting tendency towards vigorous escapism, we will enjoy the last days of sun in the parks and on the river banks, getting as much of a tan as possible so that it lasts through the 9 months of cold and dark that we have to look forward to.

The third installment of "Meet the Labels" is dedicated to another simple, elegant and experimental Australian label, Rittenhouse. Sticking with our "public space lends itself to hanging" theme, Rittenhouse was named after Philadelphia's beautiful and sort of bo-bo square, one of the 5 original open-space parks planned by William Penn, the city's founder, in the 17th Century.

Sally MacDonald and Micah Hamdorf, the label's owners, officially began working on the project in 1997 in Philadelphia's historic square, but eventually moved it back to their hometown, Sydney, where they have been living and working ever since. The label explores traditional, everyday classics for men and women, adding flourishes to every piece that mark them as unique and immediately recognizable. Within these flourishes, the couple subtly pushes the boundaries of textiles and prints, making each piece remarkable and endlessly exciting (surprises in every fold). Rittenhouse's work is as elaborate as it is humble and understated. We are so glad to have them on board and look forward to seeing the upcoming 2010 S/S line. Here are some pieces from the 2009 A/W collection:
