Fashion news

Hey there, Miss Imogene Barron and myself are in Auckland for NZ Fashion week!!
Stay tuned for heaps of show gossip and cool things. Up today; Australia's Kirrily Johnston,  Cybele (who lastnight won the coveted trade export award) and the return of those crazy folks at WORLD.

                 

Pete Versus Toby is an Australian street wear label whose designs speak for themselves they are identifiable not by branding but through their unique stylised prints and powerful statements.

The t-shrits feature such characteristic proclamations as COOL KIDS SAY YES and ATHEISTS4HEAVEN. The aesthetic prints range from friend’s of the designer’s artwork to famous art pieces such as the last supper.

The label launches to the world from the ex Byron boys and proud designers apartment in Bondi and all t-shirts are hand printed in Australia. The designs are vibrant and distinctive and have diversified from cotton jersey t-shirts to silk singlets, leather and denim jackets and bags.

The designs embrace a broad subject matter in both bold and subtle prints, luxurious and simple fabrics and undefined cuts that appeal to the masses by highlighting and humouring the individual.

Pete Versus Toby like the designers has grown and is currently stocked in 19 stores Australia wide, though it has not forgotten its humble origins and can be still found at the Bondi Markets as can the boys behind it Antoine Ryan and Marco Zirov. Check out their myspace http://myspace.com/peteversustoby for details on stockists and designs. These truly are great-shirts.

I realise that there may seem to be far more important things to rant about than despicable taste in shoes, but as someone with first-hand experience of a boss who wore Crocs - with socks, no less - this article is a justified call to arms against what is evidently becoming a global scourge on society, if for this line only: "wearing sweaty bright purple clown shoes in public is not OK". Never a truer word written.

Hey Karen Walker, why do you almost make stuff that I want to buy? I mean seriously, stop.
