THAT store
Apparently, the first denim jeans were made for a bunch of sailors in the Genoese Navy in the 1600s, and they were dragged in large mesh nets behind the ships when they needed cleaning. They only had one brand back then so you didn't have some salty dog trying to swap his GAP bootlegs for your Mondays.
The Guild: Second Edition ‘Outside Over Here’
What follows is something of a fable from design lore. In late 2005, 30 photographers, illustrators and designers from several different countries got together and each created an artwork as a gift to eachother. This same artwork was then compiled into a publication called The Guild, of which only 40 copies were ever printed, and only 10 ever sold to the public.
TV
We’ve been waiting for TV to set up shop for a while, and finally it’s time to absorb their new season range rack to rack. No more must we sort blindly through other labels to get to the long, raw cut, multifaceted pieces of Ingrid Verner and Monika Tywanek.
Cross a lithe dancer with a brooding punk and you get close to TV.
Books at 100 Smith and The Painted Word
There’s an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer has this idea to make acoffee table book about coffee tables. Everything is going well untilhe spills burning-hot coffee all over Kathie Lee Gifford and…Hold on,what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, Books at 100 Smith and ThePainted Word have enough great coffee-table books to make even the mostuncultured of granny flats look like the sleek bachelor pads of theaesthetically conscious.
Alphaville
They often say that a change is as good as a holiday, and this week ThreeThousand has to agree.
The new Alphaville store off Chapel is a fresh change from the regular South Yarra fashion fluff, and a fair-weathered holiday from the formal dresses and Sass&Bide stovepipes of its neighbours.
The new boutique is stocked with similar streetwear brands (Alpha 60, cheap monday jeans, not before noon, KTZ and Umbro by Kim Jones) to its Brunswick brother, plus it’s a lot easier to reach if you live southside.
Rhys Lee, Twinkle Twinkle
Twinkle Twinkle, the title of Rhys Lee's current exhibition at Helen Gory Galerie, confirms that this young art-star is burning bright. A prolific and entrepreneurial artist, you may remember his work on the billboard above the corner of Little Collins and Exhibition Streets (as part of the Next Wave Festival), or from the front of this month's Art Investor magazine.
The Basefield Projects
After two years of exhibiting at the Chapel galleries and having raised over $15,000 for children's charities in Melbourne, the Basefield Projects once again brings together a spectacular array of international artistic talent to aid the triumph of good over evil.
This year's exhibition showcases the work of over 8o uber-cool global artists who explore the wonderful world of Aesop's fables.
