Five degrees can make all the difference in Melbourne: five degrees this way, and the humid streets are transformed into Henry Miller’s World of Sex. Five degrees that, and hands not stuffed into pockets are busy stirring fondues, mulling wine, thumbing Picador Classics and caramelising figs. Toolz, the newest inhabitant of Smith Street, offers clothes for the latter state.
Imported mostly from Japan and South Korea, the pieces buck this winter’s pervasive aesthetic of black leather, latex and lace. Here, jazz shoes are the colour of Wedgewood plates and just-ploughed fields; the leather jackets the hue and texture of toffee; the black dresses smocked and as silky as the gathering dust, and the striped tees perfect for picking apples in. It is, as Nathan Barley might say if he lived in Daylesford, well bucolic.
