Los Adelaidos – The New Guard
Clare Alstin reports:
I’m back in Adelaide, this week and first stop is The New Guard on Unley road. This modern boutique to which all things black, minimal and fabulous reside is owned by Erin Skipter and Anna Sergiou, two of my longtime friends. I drop in and Erin shows me what’s just arrived…
Clare: How’s the newguard.com.au going one year on from launch?
Erin: Our label mix this season is pretty spot on. We now sell Arnsdorf, Alexander Wang, Friedrich Gray, Acne, Opening Ceremony, Ksubi, Complex Geometries, Dion Lee and Erin Wasson RVCA is landing any day.
Isabel Marant Booties (phone order only) and studded bag, Alexander Wang top, Friedrich Gray leggings, thenewguard.com.au
C: So glad my Isabel Marant booties have arrived Eri, add these to my layby please! What else has come in and what are you loving?
E: I’m loving the distressed knits and sporty-luxe fleece by Alex Wang and I’m so impressed with Dion Lee again this winter. Have you seen this incredible dress? Can’t even describe the way it fits but look at the way the fabric’s sculpted – it’s literally a blazer/mini dress hybrid.

Erin’s Adelaide tip: Gouger Street for restaurants and McLaren Vale wineries for the best reds.
