Basic Circle Frames
Calling all those championing for the crowned shade-shape of the season. Eyeful US label ‘Slow and Steady Wins the Race' brings it home with Basic Circle Frames.
Suitably named after yesteryear fable ‘The Tortoise and the Hare', Slow and Steady travels at a winsome pace.Their aesthetically purified wares respond to a consumer longing for significant design without the avant-garde price tag.
Powershovel cameras
Welcome Powershovel, the Japanese camera brand that has created, fact: the first 110mm fish-eye lens camera: ‘demekin’ – dang it’s so cute and small! It fits right in your pocket. The ethos of Powershovel is to use the camera not as a precise machine but more as a sketchbook of everyday life… and boy can it be fun.
Foxton Fizz
All the way from New Zealand, comes the 100% pure fizz of a lifetime experience, it’s Foxtons. This cheeky little fox has been around since 1918 and its charm lies in the packaging: glass bottles and old-school style. Besides being eye-catching it’s something, perhaps a tad bit exclusive for Oz, and let’s face it – exclusive, fancy and sweet things are what life is all about out right?
Either way, you’d be an raging idiot to miss out on trying at least one of the flavours, of which there are nine: kola, creaming soda, lime, lemonade, raspberry, cocktail, ginger beer, soda water and tonic water.
Fafi for M.A.C Cosmetics
For those of you who haven't heard, fashion's fave graff-artist and all round It-girl Fafi has just joined forces with makeup giant M.A.C to launch her very own cosmetics line. Forget simplicity and class - or lack thereof - in your makeup (I still swear by the $4 tube of foundation I bought from Woolies back in 2002) and add some colour and attitude to your collection courtesy of this French fatale.
Credit Card Calculator
Let’s face it: in this day and age we are constantly on the hunt for something no-one has already seen/done/heard. Sometimes it takes going back to the past to recreate something old – but with a 00’s twist.
Remember the calculator? The things old ladies and super-organised list-carrying shoppers arm themselves with for the weekly grocery shop.
Ken Done for Vice T-Shirts
Ken Done has said, “In the times in which we live it is far too restricting to say that art can only be found in art galleries and not touch people's everyday lives... I want to use any means that are necessary to communicate to people what I feel about things.” And he’s following right through on that, communicating to us via the medium of Vice t-shirts.
Elephant
It may be moving quickly towards winter, but t-shirts are still the staple of most Brisbanite men's wardrobes. Those chilly mornings and evenings may call for a coat or two, but that is never heeded for long. The notorious midday blaze of the Sunshine State inevitably brings the feeling—and heat—of summer right on back.
