Antipodium







  
The first collection to bring us into our Spring season is Antipodium's amazing debut pre-fall collection, 'Found Love in a Graveyard'. This collection combines the simplicity and discipline of the skinhead aesthetic with the romance of Ophelia to create an androdynous capsule of sartorial delights perfect for weddings, wakes or anything. Collaborating again with Karl Maier of esteemed art duo Craig and Karl to create the very cheeky Bunny Boiler print - an intoxicating series of vignettes de lapin printed onto sheer shirting and skirts and toughened up by the standout wine and metallic bomber, Antipodium perfectly executes the kind of masculine feminine styling we have come to know and love, resulting in a collection that is unconventional, subversive and lots of fun.

TOP 3 MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS

As we all know Mother's Day is this Sunday the 13th, and to help those of you that are stuck with 'I don't know what to get her!', here are 3 simple ideas that we know will make her feel special...


Gift Idea #1
AESOP GIFT PACK - CENTRE OF GRAVITY

A trio of outstanding products from Aesop's Anti-Oxidant Parsley Seed skin care range. Each highly effective product is the result of many years of research into the delivery of anti-oxidants to the skin. Offering them together to form a personal centre of gravity: three remarkable items working towards cleansed, balanced, softened skin.

                                
Gift Idea #2
BENAH ACCESSORIES
Benah is a collection of leather good and accessories by Brenda Harvey that tick all the right boxes. It’s understated, impeccably made (all natural materials and solid construction) and well, just beautiful.

            
Gift Idea #3
CONVERSE ALL STAR
Our all time favourite sneaker is available this season with a loveable twist. Available in polka dot, confetti or glacier print, these Chucks will be sure to put a bounce in her step, and a perfect gift to brighten up her day.

Chuck Taylor Premium

Placing a twist on iconic style without messing with its supremely classic appeal, Converse upgrades the Chuck Taylor by wrapping the high tops in ultra-rich leather. Loyal Chuck wearers will appreciate the spruced-up street look whether they're going for something edgier or more sophisticated.
These new premium releases are full leather built with brown leather Converse All-Star badges on the customary medial sidewall position. The leather wrapped midsoles also give these chucks a bit more of a stylish appeal, as does the leather toecaps. The pressed leather 'All Star' licence plate on the heel adds the perfect final touch of crispness.
