Screen siren boutique Labour of Love stands as a quaint doorway into a petite little world of epic designs.  They have a mission to dress winsome city folk in exclusive pieces of clothing that seem destined for each and every one of our inner personalities. It’s why they only sell limited runs of their pieces, like the silk cream ‘Swim Jazz’ dress and blouse (above), destined for an ensemble of red lips and set curls. Goodbye uniform department stores! Hello to investing in LABOUR’s world of quaint silks and cottons, woven shoes and eclectic colour-injected dresses.  They’re available from Labour directly, though the above reference collection is only available from the SUPERSWEET shop at www.supersweet.org/shop

If you’re near Shorditch this September then step into the Kemistry Gallery to catch comic artist Zarina Liew’s latest exhibition called The Hunter. Her willowy inks and narrative inspired illustrations give the kiss of love to any surgical white gallery walls. But if you’re no where near London, say, swimming on a tropical island somewhere, then I envy you. But you can still check out her collections at www.cobaltcafe.co.uk, or her myspace chronicles details on this very exhibition at http://www.myspace.com/cobalt_cafe. Zarina likes old fashioned back-street romance, green tea, Spirited Away and Aubrey Beardsley for her inky inspirations.

Apparently, a band that simply stands on stage dressed all in black a la Johnny Cash, while blasting out hauntingly post-punk club anthems are classed as ‘arrogant’. As opposed to the many indie-boy bands who don’t have a first idea about music and yet know everything about fashion. For plenty, this seems to be enough. “It’s all about fashion now” my music friend tells me. “It’s more about the style than sound”.
So...music’s become fashion to listen to has it? Well, without relying on style-hyped pipe-cleaner jeans and winkle-pickers crafted from the skin of Lagerfeld’s foreskin, DETACHMENTS are the sexiest, sharpest, slickest music machine to be emerging in 2008. Trevor Jackson is producing their first album, following on from their single Fear No Fear (out to buy now) and The Times love their funk, so tune in and see if the troops command your attention at www.myspace.com/detachments

Missile launching rubber ducks, pigs dressed in Islamic niqabs and blood splattered Hello Kitties. No folks, this isn’t Banksy’s latest graphic comeback, but rather the unique designs courtesy of the cute institute and The Hiccups, just two of the 887 talented artists featured in Prickie.com, the largest ever on-line badge shop. Buy badges or simply peruse the button sized art. They also need sponsors right now, so if you’re a sugar daddie with a heart o’ butter, then get in touch with them and they’ll love you for life ;)

Fancy an episode of Project Runway? Who needs the telly when you're sporting a giant pair of scissors? Or how about gun charm BANG! BANG! Stabbings are all too chic – so wear this pistol with pride. With tags like “You hit me. We hit you” and a collection of naked brass Victorian chics to dress up, who wouldn’t want to wear MAFIA? Ever since the eclectic, brass beauties flew into Portabello Market from Thailand, our style guru Linda Charoenlab has been selling them through the SUPERSWEET SHOP exclusively. You can browse or buy them at www.supersweet.org/shop

Good Shoes, Good Fun, Good Times had by all. Pick the odd one out. No? They’re a band responsible for the latter two, having rocked out the Bush Hall earlier this week in London to a fun crowd of super cool SUPERSWEET kids. If you didn’t make it, the chandeliers sparkled, the pink lights enchanted and Good Shoes seemed to pull the sunshine out of each of artist Rob Ryan’s stage projected stars. The artist himself was there to party on down with the punters. To support us all were L.A band THE PITY PARTY, who’s warbling, distorted basses and thumping drum performances shook a whole new vibe through the soul of the hall. Look out for them…and read more about us at www.supersweet.org
