Cyber Round-Up

When you clock up as many hours online as I do you see it all, the good, the bad and the plain strange. Here are the sites I love that keep me coming back for more.

SHOWstudio keeps me captive with this clever piece of technology for many more hours that I’d like to admit mixing up sounds and movements to create my very own track.

Of course we all know that Net-a-Porter is the go-to for luxury fashion, but further to the incredible product on sale Net-a-Porter’s video section is well worth a look.

Would you expect anything but a super cool website for cult label Opening Ceremony? Their blog, and of course online store, will keep you entertained for hours.

Australian online boutique, Love Conviction has an eclectic collection of vintage inspired jewelery perfect for when the weather (eventually) starts warming up.

A melting pot for cutting edge fashion, architecture and art, cruising through the superfuture blog is like taking a trip around the world with the best travel guide you could ever imagine.

Gala Galore

It was a great Saturday evening at the NIDA Foundation Gala Dinner. An event to raise money for the schools Student Scholarship Program. The combination of star studded guests and event supporter Bulgari, made it a gem of a night.

Watch, we even got fashion tips from The Hon. Peter Garrett AM, MP….

Screen Genius

Tonight Director, Daniel Askill launches his limited edition book at EDITION store- Slow Work on a Bright Screen. It features stills from some of Daniels recent video commissions.

My first experience with Daniel’s work was at Michelle Jank’s show at Australian Fashion Week 2008, where a woman unfolded from water. It was mesmerizing. We asked Daniel and his gorgeous PR girlfriend, Anne Ryan, for Grand Social, to share their ” to-do” lists today. Take a peek into their very busy lives…

Style File: Chris

Model/Hairdresser, Chris Hunter at Valonz is a watch freak and has hundreds in his collection. So it was only apt that he should be at the Chanel J12 Marine launch. His style is a little rock’n'roll under that black jacket/pant uniform every male in Sydney is wearing. Love the shoes.

Style File: Graz

We held our mens Style File report at the Chanel J12 Marine watch launch. Champagne flowing and guests eyeing off the latest in Chanel mens watches at their Boutique in Bondi Junction. The boys seem to have a uniform this season of black jacket and pants at least we got to see a variety underneath, oh and some cute shoes.

Bits of Inspiration

Art is one of my greatest source of inspiration. It breaths fresh air into my cluttered head.

Valerie Berlin, Untitled, 2003

Rivane Neuenschwander, visitors select ribbons printed with a wish to tie around their wrists. When the ribbon falls off, tradition has it that one’s wish will be fulfilled. Visitors may write another wish and place it in the empty hole.
