Vintage ‘inspired’ by Australian designers

Miss Dish — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:44:54 +0000

These are a few of my favourite Australian designers who are inspired by vintage style:

Miss Fancypants

Sisters by Blossom n Bird

Sailor Dress by Lady Phuncle

Photo Girl on Wall Graffiti by Hey Harriett

I love the 50′s style swimwear designs by Miss Fancypants, they are for women with curves. I really love the skirted swimwear, super cute. Blossom n Bird has the sweetest girliest prints ever. You can find this Queenslanders prints on Etsy. And yes its true I have about four Lady Phuncle pieces and counting! I love the cut and fit of the clothes. Hey Harriet is a Brisbane photographer who photographs Ttv (through the viewfinder). Loving the vintage style graffiti photo.

There are so many designers that create with a vintage style that I love. I’ll have to continue with more next week.

lots of vintage love to be had

Kohii Photo Shoot

Miss Dish — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 07:23:52 +0000

This Thursday gone Missy and Chris from Kohii Photography did a photo shoot of some of Brisbane’s clothing, jewellery and accessories designers. The common thread holding all the designers together? Using recycled and repurposed materials in their pieces. And the coolest thing was that it was shot at a local car wreckers. A completely new world of a car wreckers domain was opened up to me!

Liana Kabel and I went along to check out Kohii in action. Liana is one of the designers included in the shoot along with Jetta’s Nest, Wicked Child Designs, RaRaSuperstar and Foal Design just to mention a few.

When I first arrived at the car wreckers my first thought was is that really a cow I am seeing wandering amongst the cars? But not just one but two cows and a goat to boot! After a bit of a search I found Missy and crew amongst the 100’s of cars and trucks in full photo shoot mode. I spent over an hour with the guys taking my own photo version of the events……….

BrisStyle Markets

Miss Dish — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:39:15 +0000

I set up Miss Dish in the hall all the while wishing I had a marquee so that I could be outside to enjoy the sunshine. It was the most incredibly beautiful day and the BrisStyle Markets were another fantastic success.

I met up with some old friends from BrisStyle and made a few new ones on the way. BrisStyle is a fantastic community of handcrafters who support and encourage each other in their individual and unique styles. Go BrisStyle!

I bought the cutest bunny ears from Ellie of Red Seed Studio (for my niece who is turning four today) and also a brooch and card from Sam of Jetta’s Nest. Sam’s art is just beautiful and the eyes on the girls she draws are so pretty. Have a look at her stuff. I am sure my niece is going to be very happy with her pressies.

Melanie from Miu and Umi had her sister with her to help out for the day. They are lovely girls and you should check out Melanie’s pretty designs on her etsy shop. I just love the name of her shop its pretty cool….. Miu and Umi!!

And my lovely neighbour Sophie from Strat Designs had a incredible display of resign jewellery. So bright and bold.

Miss Dish and Lady Phuncle at The Religion of Fashion parade

Miss Dish — Wed, 19 May 2010 11:22:05 +0000

The Religion of Fashion Saturday last was a fantastic fashion event. Zoie Mayne the organiser of The Religion of Fashion Tea Party and Fashion Parade did a fantastic job considering it was her first event. Ash from Lady Phuncle and me, Natalie Mayerhofer from Miss Dish collaborated on her fashion debut. I created headbands and hairpieces for her gorgeous feminine creations.

Lady Phuncle

I really loved Amy Davidson’s swimwear designs with really cool bird patterns on them. Anna Peng had incredible dreamy floaty dressy up dresses that I would just love to wear whilst eating cake and drinking champagne at Versailles. All of the designers were incredibly talented and I had a fantastic day. Can’t wait to see what Zoie comes up with next.

BrisStyle Twilight Markets

Miss Dish — Tue, 04 May 2010 11:19:44 +0000

I was blown away by the crowds at BrisStyle’s first ever Twilight Markets in King George Square on Friday 30th April. The BrisStyle crew did such a fantastic job organising the event and I think there will be many more Twilight Markets to come.

From the moment Ellie from Red Seed Studio’s and I arrived to set up around 3.30pm we were swamped with interest. And as the sun set and the buildings and square were illuminated the excitement built up even more. There really was such an exciting buzz. Can’t wait for the next one.

Roller Derby Girls Kick It – Saturday April 17th

Miss Dish — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 11:05:38 +0000

Wow,

Where to start…. My first ever time at a Roller Derby event and I am hooked. I left so hyped up and have two new heroes ‘Dead Meat’ and ‘Sweet Enemy’ from the Northern Brisbane Rollers. They were in the team Diner-Might Dolls who versed Love Rockettes.

The atmosphere was so exciting starting with meeting up with my friend Ash from Uncle Phuncle (who has also started Lady Phuncle). She had a stall there for the night and the girls where lapping up Lady Phuncle’s retro inspired fashion.

Mim, Ash and Me - Lady Phuncle

Miss Teresa & her Rhythmaires rocked an early set before game on and at intermission. I saw her band ages ago, we are talking probably 7 or 8 years ago (I think) and they put on a great show last night. Fantastic voice and rockin’ band. I loved them.

Best of all was watching the awesome roller ladies strut their stuff. I admit where I first stood during the first half I was having a difficult time seeing them in action but during the intermission managed to get a foot into the 18+ (haha funny I know) area and got to see what it was all about first hand.

Here are some of my favourite photos from the night taken by the very determined Gavin Roche (and of course very talented):
