Kooey SS 10/11

Kooey has lots of distinctive patterns which are influenced by rural Australian coastlines and coral reefs making them unquie . The patterns reveal indigenious influenced prints which are both intricate and beautifully executed into the designs, with added flirty frills and delicate details that bring flow and movement to the bikinis. This is definately a style that cannot be copied as the interpretation of Australian rural and country areas blooms in these bikinis with shimmer and vibrance.

French Boys Really Do Wear Stripes.

It seems like only yesterday that I was riding through the streets of Paris on my bicycle underneath the looming grey clouds. It's impossible to absorb all of the culture and architecture that this wondrous city has to offer, one can only try. If I close my eyes for just a second, I am back in Paris still sitting on the hill at the Sacre Coeur eating a croissant and sipping on my bitter creamy coffee, watching the group of friends next to me celebrate a birthday with champagne and baguettes. My navy vintage YSL blazer smells of Marlboro Lights from the French boys sitting next to me who are dressed in stripes with heavy black spectacles framing their pale chiselled cheekbones. A perfect cliché and a kind of French chic you expect to see in a Garance Dore Polaroid. Sweet Paris really is the city of love. Passing over the Pont des Arts, old and new padlocks filled with hopes of everlasting love (or at least in true French style, momentary lust) a sensation of longing for romance is inevitable, even for the most cynical. Then my eyes open. Take me back to Paris…At least for now I still have a copy of Amelie.

Amy Meredith - The cheeky and talented boys from the Sydney-based band are making waves on the Australian music scene, following the success of their debut album ‘Restless’ which features hit singles ‘Porn star’, ‘Lying’ and their latest ‘Young at heart’. With their playful personalities and signature uber-street style, it’s no surprise that Amy Meredith have got people talking…and the girls screaming.

As you move to the mood-lifting melodies of their debut single “Show Me The Night” the electric sounds and retro rhythms will tickle your musical taste buds and leave your wanting more.

Yves Klein Blue- These Brissy boys from Yves Klein Blue are a breath of fresh air with their coming of age attitude, classic influences and focus of music that’s just about living life and just being. You’ll go from chilling in your bean bag to dancing around your bedroom in your underwear all in the space of their energetic and cheeky debut album “Ragged and Ecstatic”. Be sure to catch the playful foursome at their best on their upcoming tour ‘About the Future’…we know we will be.

Middle East- With sounds stolen from indie, folk, country and pop genres, the malleable melodies of The Middle East will seep from your ears and into your veins until it has travelled through your every last bodily nerve, leaving nothing utter peace and relaxation in the places where stress once lay. Following the success following their debut album The Recordings of The Middle East the band are set to hit the stage later this April at famous US music festival Coachella.

Tame Impala- Perth-based group Tame Impala are taking the old, throwing in some retro riffs, and making it new. Described as ‘psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock music’ the chilled-out music-making trio consists of Kevin Parker, Dom Simper and Jay Watson who have been friends for over 9 years and are currently on their national Spring tour.

Red Riders- Apart from their laid back look and trendy threads, their music has a certain charisma and charm that will leave you humming along to the memorable melodies from their latest album Drown In Colour. We want the next one. Now.
