Cool Hunting
In the 1985 movie "Weird Science," a pair of happy misfits use tip-top technology and nerdy know-how to create something truly beautiful in the form of "real life" woman and sexed up diva Kellie Le Brock. The Australian fashion label Romance Was Born have created something equally beguiling with their Spring/Summer 07/08 collection, also called Weird Science. Sending coke-bottle spectacles, high-waisted acid wash and even a DNA inspired headdress down the runway at Rosemount Fashion Week, a real highlight of the collection is the label's collaboration with hot Sydney artist Del Kathryn Barton. Del Kathryn Barton, who has previously collaborated on the label's Regional Australia collection, will once again provide a unique fabric print that will be reproduced across a range of garments. Romance's own misfit duo, Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales, know nerds get their revenge in the end.

No, you're not tripping. Last night wasn't that crazy. Your mind is spinning courtesy of some serious 3-D handiwork by our friends from Limedrop.

Think big dinosaurs at the cinema. Remember those days? This...

We recently checked out the launch of Sydney-based men's fashion label Jon Pumper, a fresh athletic range drawing inspiration from a fictitious character with "legendary status as a ladies man" who has been 'linked with nearly every high profile woman." Rather fittingly, the launch took place at Sydney's Deus Ex Machina, a motorbike shrine packed full of fast metal and retro moto-style threads, providing...
