It’s that time of year when summer beckons and winter launches again in the fashion world and it certainly feels like winter this week!
UnNaked launched their latest collection of winter warmth last week at the new Winery by Gazebo in Surry Hills. Clearly influenced by the latest Parisian textile exhibition of Madeline Voinet, bias cuts and sequins were a strong feature for the girls. The fortified rocker pants and biker leggings are also sure to be a great hit in addition to the ring leader jacket, their understated brocade jacket. The standout favourite though, will have to be the saddle up dress with men’s brace style torso straps and a skirt which drapes and flows in a manner that would make Miss Vionet herself proud. UnNaked are proudly warming us from head to toe in 100% merino wool pieces as well as their signature mix of urban and luxe fabrics so at least there is something to look forward to at the end of summer and in the meantime you can always visit the newly installed Dirty Laundrette Pop Up store which they will be spicing up for the next nine months.
These pop up stores have become somewhat notorious for transcending the usual retail experience and turning it into a real trip, where designers are the architects, interior designers and the artists. This edition is set to be another thriller and the longest staying one yet.
So pop in to the pop
up store and enjoy the latest from emerging designers including UnNakeD. The newest Dirty Laundrette pop up store is in
Shop 39, 277 Crown St, Surry Hills,
