I have an endless list of excuses for my recent lack of consistent blogging, but I won't bore anyone with the details. I've been extremely busy lately, but managed to come across the above wondrous selection of images. I believe I saw a new choker in the most recent Maniamania collection modelled by the semi nude Dree Hemingway (though it appears the body paint is supposed to serve as a sufficient substitute for clothing), which I'm sure I'll obsess over for the coming days. After viewing the editorial featuring Charlotte Free, I felt certain it must be from and unreleased issue of oyster, as it features the wild clothing of recent collections by Emma Mulholland and Jeremy Scott and photography which could easily be mistaken for the work of Imogene Barron. It was therefore suprising to discover this sickeningly cool editorial was published in Japanese publication, Elle Girl. I fully intend to investigate further, and possibly come across other shoots which just maybe will come close to being on the same level of "street junkie" awesome. It's hardly necessary to comment on the typically flawless collection of Stolen Girlfriends Club, but just in case any of my readers are partial to disgustingly beautiful boys, it needs to be pointed out, how uncanny the resemblance of the model in the last image is to Ezra Miller.

After flooding your screen with a bunch of images from Sydney TAFE graduate and designer, Emma Muholland it has got to be clear that her work is sort of a big deal to me. Frequently worn by models such as Ollie Henderson, Zippora Seven and Rachel Rutt, Emma's collections attract the attention of those dubbed the 'coolest', and who are known for their own unique personal style. Byron Spencer, a close friend of Emma Mulholland and arguably the coolest Sydney photographer around, regularly shoots the designer's lookbooks and features her clothing on his super inspiring blog, spencernotspencer. It is no doubt evident within her designs, but Emma has confirmed her influences draw from 90s surf culture, the ocean and various landscapes. While her aesthetic is truly unique, I can't  help but compare her work to the likes of Stolen Girlfriends Club and Romance Was Born, highly successful duos who have similarly produced collections containing psychedelic prints, references to 90s culture and drawn inspiration from the underwater realm. I'm impatiently awaiting the release of her most recent collection, which I intend to blow a significant portion of my next pay on..
