Look out for these fantastic new collections hitting stores over
July and August.


Alice McCall's "Call of the Wild" collection
is sleek with a playful edge. Silk geometric print dresses, feminine
blouses and sexy jumpsuits in a palette of pinks, lime and bright
yellow paired back with rich fabrics in black, white and beige.
Structured military inspired separates with industrial hardware
buttons and fastening in gold give a powerful luxurious edge whilst
zips, locks and keys, bolts and nails highlight functionality. View

Spring Summer 07/08 sees Kate Hurst's "Diamond Life" collection
look to the silhouettes of the 90’s and the allure of exotic
icon Sade. Black and white always being a staple in Kate's colour
palettes, this season also includes cobalt, lemon and indigo denim.
Metallic shades of pewter and silver are also a feature, highlighted
in the show-stopping piece the “Silver Leather Night Sky Jacket”.
“The cuts are refined, yet sporty, with a very sexy ready-to-wear
element,” says Kate.


"Norman and the Starmaker" is the eighth collection from
Saint Augustine Academy and draws reference from modern musicians
and their palpable influence on society. The colour palette uses
minimal tones and predominantly features indigo, charcoal, grey,
black and white with some splashes of fire-engine red and gold.
Modern fabrics and directional shapes make this range unique –
particularly t-shirts and cropped jackets featuring old-school tuxedo-style
tails and double-breasted cropped waistcoats. |

Nevenka has a unique style, one that is alluring and
wild at heart. The spirit of Nevenka is to stay true to its deep
Slavic culture. An Australian with European quality and tradition.
Nevenka's current collection, "From Croatia with Love",
debuted at Australian Fashion Week and features mini dresses, shifts,
voluminous skirts and floor skimming gowns in rich colours, textures
and patterns.

Following the amazing Buddhist Punk success, the Nicholas
X Morley line continues with the playful fusion of rock
and punk aesthetic mixed with 80s inspired graphic prints, silk-screened
hoodies, t-shirts and jackets emblazoned with overt slogans such
as "More Punk than Buddhist". Prints feature lightning
bolts, skull and cross bones enhanced with Swarovski Crystal bling
and a flashback to all things rock cool.

A love of vintage is the theme behind Yuli Yusup's latest Secret
Wardrobe collection which features flowing dresses,
high waisted skirts and architectural pinafores. Colour plays a
key part with floral prints and a palette of peach, burgundy and
cream peppering the designs. "I love colour but I also love
black and whites, hence there is a strong current of both running
through the collection." says Yuli.

to watch". |
