Brisbane street style, fashion news & local designers
Carmen, snapped in Burnett Lane, Brisbane City, on her lunch break.
Although winter barely touches us in Brisbane, the slight chill in the air does allow for scarves, boots and jackets to be integrated into our regular wardrobe for a few weeks. This was an assignment shot for a client which unfortunately, didn’t get published. Which means I have the opportunity to showcase Brisbane’s cool, laid back, weekend style. Thanks to all the lovely ladies that let me snap their outfits!
This is my second collaboration with Amber of Fashion Avenue, the last was shot in October 2013, when the beautiful spring flowers were in bloom.
Some people are naturally so upbeat, they make you feel happy just by being in their presence. One of those people is Brisbane fashion blogger, TopShop personal stylist and all around lovely lady, Aicha.
It has been a while since I collaborated with Ashleigh, aka The Blonde Silhouette. So it was fun to have a catchup and explore the industrial area of West End! We found this beautiful graffiti alley and knew it would be a perfect setting for her monochromatic look. With plenty of smiles and silly faces to capture there is never a dull moment shooting with Ashleigh!
Aicha knows how to style ripped denim. Add a sheer black top, mirror-like reflective blue sunglasses and don’t forget a big smile! Shot in West End on a cloudy morning this outfit is chilled out urban chic.
To see the full post check out Aicha’s blog, The Fashion Heist, and follow her adventures on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Ally Dunlop of Wanderlusting Blog is a talented freelance stylist who is super fun to work with. If you don’t believe me, check out her portfolio. She puts together amazing outfits from local and national designers, creates beautiful hair and makeup and even blogs about her adventures. I have been lucky enough to work with her on several shoots recently including the Harriette Hill editorial and an edgy / grunge collaboration that will be published very soon.
Matt Hsu is quick to smile and has a larger than life personality. With a trumpet strapped to his back you may find him playing music in The Mouldy Lovers, performing solo or doing flips at circus school.
He describes himself as “wilfully untrendy” with a penchant for tokens from around the world such as kurtas, middle eastern tunics and native american moccasins.
