JORDAN COULTER - RISING STAR

This is 17 years old surfer kid, Jordan Coulter from MY HOME.. AUSTRALIA! He was discovered at 15 after watching The Dark Knight at Pacific Fair at the Gold Coast. Jordan since then has gone from a straight-A surfer to international model. This year he is in Los Angeles (Vision agency) doing some modeling work before returning home for his last year of school ..and so he should with his great potential!

Geeeeez he's only 17 ( same age as me. arghh jealous!!!! can't get over that... he needs to come back to Australia and by my friend - that just sounded a bit childish.. hahaha) and the pictures above by one of my favourite photographers Tony Duran really show his versatility especially for high fashion. And doesn't that second last picture above give off a - Karl Largerfeld's "Baptiste Giabiconi" look ? Does to me..

His latest is a campaign for high-end Italian fashion label Dsquared2 which is yet to be released! ( I can't wait to see... dsquared2 is also a love of mine). This is quite exciting, as he will be shot by Mert and Marcus! Photographers with top clients of the fashion world .. including Louis Vuitton ,Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Fendi, Kenzo.

Read article here as he was rushed to be grabbed for the shoot.

"He has been featured in numerous editorials magazines, such as "" and "Australian GQ". He has also done high profile fashion shows in Milan."

"To give you an idea, the now 17-year-old flew to Puerto Rico to shoot the latest American Eagle campaign for a five-figure deal; was flown to New York where renowned photographer Mariano Vivanco shot him for the Dolce & Gabbana anniversary book; was featured in Calvin Klein's lookbook and presentation; stars in the recent issue of Numéro Homme (Wet Contest) shot by fashion photographer Matthias Vriens-McGrath; and makes his Australian debut in a 12-page autumn fashion shoot for the May issue of GQ shot by Max Doyle."

. NATINA JEWELLERY by NATLIE BANKOVIC

Natalie Bankovic discovered her passion for design and flair in high school, studying design. It was 2004 when she made her first pair of earrings for a friend that she was discovered by exclusive boutiques and capturing attention in which, then Natina Jewellery was formed. Singer Ricki Lee was one of many that has worn her designer. "Everyday is a new Inspiration" is the concept of Natina Jewellery . Talking to Natalie at MeetingPOT, she brought up how, many people had asked what her inspiration was for her designs, and told me how it was a strange question because it came from when she was creating the individual pieces - the very thing that makes her pieces purely unique and not dated or following current trends which can be worn for many season to come. Each piece lets the wearer make a statement, defining themselves as a unique individual. Natina designs are all exclusive and original.

Natina Jewellery offers pieces that are versatile. I remember when I first looked upon Natalie's jewellery I loved the pieces in which I saw could be worn from day into the night bringing life to any outfit. It definitely gave me the "wow- factor" statement which is the aim of Natina Jewellery. Personally, I love bold statement jewellery and what brings attention and I think this is what it gives.

The Natina Jewellery client would be a female aged 15-35 young hard workers who are idealistic and optimistic and highly entrepreneurial who also value quality, going out and socialising .

Natina jewellery provides exclusive designed quality pieces that are mid range priced. So this means it's affordable and buying quality which won't be found anywhere else.

These are only a few pictures of her collection and more to come. I personally love the first necklace. The detail of the snake contrasted by simple smooth black behind. I like it.

. a bit of blonde a bit of smoke

oak

Photographer: Jason Eric Hardwick
Model: Kyle @ Ford Models

I just really liked the editing, the clean colour. I liked the lighting- in the left pic above, I like how his face is covered by shadow but the hair and muscle is more pronounced. I just liked the shading and the hair. haha . Also I like how on the right pic above the smoke coming from his mouth- great how its a black and white photo, brings out the smoke AND his eyes are closed- I like it.

. Das Monk tees and stuff

Das Monk is an Australian t-shirt label based in Sydney. It was was launched in 2007 by Marc Hendrick and Anna Lunoe. They are now successfully stocked in Australia, New Zealand, Japan USA and Canada in over 30 leading fashion stores in those countries and more to come. The label is inspired by the world of art, music, film and pop culture. What's more is that they don't come in seasonally but release every 3 months, which features works from themselves, and also collaborating with upcoming and emerging independent artists from all over the world. So I to look up Das Monk up, and found that a few fans of the label including TV on the Radio, Diplo, Busy P, MGMT, A-Trak, and The Cool Kids.

Personally I really like the idea of art and getting them on tees, I think it supports and communicates individual artists, simple - mixing art and fashion is something I always loved - also I like their concept as I'm trying to do this myself. I am a big fan of those works I chose to put up above.

their Singlets - $49.95; Tees - $59.95 ; Sweaters -$89.95 go here at The Grand Social to buy some now!

. talia in wonderland

The first 2 photographs here are by far my favourite ones I took. I LOVE IT. VERY HAPPY WITH IT! . Louise and I went for a more fairytale like shoot as oppose to the other shots I took with Margaret. I apologize for the blast of Talia, this will be last post.

. Elizabethan? Shakespearean?

. petar petrov interview

Petar Petrov is a designer from Austria of the label of the same name.

In this season, "following the idea of a simple aesthetic of forms we developed this
collection of pieces far from a formal way of dressing …the colours are kept dark in the different shades of black and blue with highlights of silver and black or white vinyl"

Personally I absolutely love Petar Petrov's designs, if only they had them in Australia! Especially this season's collection, it's totally my style. I think they are all my favourite, but especially the metallic knit jumper.
