COUPONS OF THE WEEK

You’ve heard of a flash mob… (a whole bunch of people in a public place assemble and do something that would appear random but is actually choreographed – like a huge organised dance routine, supermarket musical, or pillow fight – youtube it if you don’t believe me). But what about a flash walk?

The conceptual collision of flashmobs and catwalks, this surprise parade made its way down Melbourne’s Flinders Street on Tuesday morning, previewing pieces that we’ll soon see at The Spirit of the Black Dress exhibition.

We think that sometimes this ongoing nudity in fashion trend has us turn a jaded eye towards every pictorial we see. It’s also not helped by the ongoing fetish fashion trend. The shoot Sart Sorbet features model Polina Barbasova playing amongst a festival of balloons (yes it’s the correct collective noun). Perfectly innocent.

Well… recently a friend recounted to me a message she received in which a man had requested photos of her with balloons. Needless to say she ignored the message, but apparently there’s a fetishist subculture even for that. Globophilia it’s known as.

It’s a reality that print magazines are waking up to: the more media rich and creative they are, the more likely they are to survive. Jacques Magazine is a prime example. It’s fashionable, modern erotica with a hazy vintage quality that sets it apart from its glossier counterparts. And each issue is surrounded by snippets of video and pictorial content that piques interest in the issue’s content.

Celebrating everything sporty in truly sensual style, Jacques’ latest issue, The Sports Issue, is pre-empted by a video trailer directed by Jonathan Leder.

If D&G took us on a snow trip, then Ferragamo placed us squarely in the English countryside – to a place where hunting trips are day-time entertainment, and ladies still dress for dinner.

Leather and suede are key: from sharp leather shorts to leather-trimmed capes, suede jumpsuits and overcoats. The colour palette is decidedly country, too. Shades of forest greens, earthy browns, gold and mustard are perfectly suited to the daytime occasions, while evening time brings shimmering bronze into the mix.

Deibe Rondon’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection takes sophisticated forms – and adds feminine details like ruffles and bows to create fun, sometimes whimsical, looks. Silk, satin and luxe knits form the basis of the range; while the playful full-skirted dresses are perhaps the most stand-out of the lot.

Interview have dubbed it the Alexander Wang Gang, but I sincerely doubt this is a gang you’re going to encounter down a dark alley any time soon. Unless, of course, that alleyway leads to a suitably edgy night spot.

Maria Felix, with her exotic Cartier jewellery, strong arched brows, and deeply tanned skin, couldn’t be more perfectly portrayed than she is in this shoot with the ever-gorgeous Daria Werbowy. Layerings of statement jewellery, western style jodhpurs, bold hats and lit cigars: together these elements are a fitting tribute to the Mexican film star known as La Doña.

It’s a sad fact that when an exhibition comes to town, you think you have all the time in the world to go and view it… and then, all of a sudden, it’s gone. Do not dally on this one Melbourne readers (nor visitors to the city for that matter); it may be at the State Library of Victoria til October but that’s all the more danger to be lulled into the procrastination trap.

Titled ’til you drop: shopping – a Melbourne history this exhibition is a beautifully curated look at the social history of Melbourne through shopping, from the glory days of Marvelous Melbourne up to the not-quite-so marvelous present. While it’s not strictly fashion related (food and homewares also make an appearance) it’s the fashion memorabilia that will have every fashioniser enthralled and inspired.
