Free Reign
There’s this lady called Isabelle Quinn, she’s a new kid on the block with a knack for crafting soft linens and cool silks in the way that you watch the washing float in the breeze. Except Isabelle’s pieces are far too good to just watch drying in the breeze.. white silk wrap dress: Isabelle Quinn…
Sunday Sanctuary: Kicks For Free
As you might know, my love for leather isn’t just limited to my favourite accessories, or the perfect pair of pants (thank you Isabel Marant). If you ask me, leather is the perfect versatile texture for interior design no matter if a space is modern, or leaning more towards to the classic side of things.…
The Fashion Artists
When it comes to Viktor and Rolf a picture speaks a thousand words .. literally. Inside the Gallery of Victoria, one of Australia’s most prestigious National Galleries lies and exhibition of Fashion Week worthy proportions. Whoever said that it was rude to draw on the walls may want to think again, as 4 large illustrative…

Sunday Sanctuary: Balancing Act
Featuring bright white spaces, an abundance of natural light, subtle hints of greenery, and a neutral design palette… This Scandinavian home is currently achieving some serious interior styling goals. With the styling neither minimal nor excessive, this beautiful space perfectly balances intricate details without being overpowering.

Trend: Power Dressing
The latest runway seasons, editorials and street style fashion have seen a renewal of our obsession for power dressing. Featured in Prince of Wales check, herringbone, or houndstooth wool, the trend adopts a more relaxed approach to power dressing. Undoubtedly influenced by the excess and menswear inspired trends of the 1980’s, (see Giorgio Armani’s 1980s suiting), the trend can…
Marooned
There once was a time that you couldn’t get me within a 5 metre radius of the colour maroon. Blame it on the fact that it was the dominant colour of my school uniform for the vast majority of my childhood, or on the fact that I was monochromatically monogamous to B&W. Either way these days I…
Autumn Essentials
I guess that you could say that I like to look at the world differently, sometimes it’s just a little more obvious than others. Good hardware is one of my all time weaknesses and I’m pretty sure you’ve realised by now I’m not talking about the household kind. With Autumn in full swing for my amigos in…
Past Forward
In a magical, Edwardian style ballroom last week, at Sydney’s usually private Government House, the chandelier’s were dimmed to launch Prada’s latest artistic offering, a beautiful film titled ‘Past Forward’. If you’re searching for inspiration I strongly suggest that you get your popcorn at the ready and find your comfiest spot on the couch to…
Sunday Sanctuary: The Slow
Art and fashion perfectly collide in this space which is designed and curated by George Gorrow, the original co-founder of Ksubi. Aptly named ‘The Slow‘, this boutique hotel experience will make you feel right at home on the island paradise of Canggu, Bali, a favourite destination of mine. With an aesthetic eloquently described as ‘tropical brutalism’,…
Difference Makes Us
Perhaps it’s because I grew up with a love of mud between my toes, the sugar cane farmers daughter, wild (barefoot) and free. Or perhaps it’s because when I was 12 my mum put me in after-school art classes, the artist studio workshop fragrantly thick with the musky smell of oil-paints set out in the…
