Speaker 2 (00:24):
Laurels for spraying groundbreaking?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Oh my god, you have to do it. You live
for fashion.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Hello and welcome to Nothing to Air, the podcast that
solves fashion problems.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And levels up your wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm Lee Campbellon every week I chat to an expert
who helps us get more out of the clothes we
already own and tells us exactly what is and isn't
worth adding to our wardrobes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Joining me again this week is.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The wonderful Tomorra Holland she is here to help me
unpack the biggest four weeks in the fashion calendar each year,
Fashion Month. So Fashion Week has just finished in New York, London, Rome,
and Paris and that adds up to Fashion Month and
that's where all the trends sort of start and trickle down.
So to help me understand what the trends are and
(01:09):
how they're going to translate to our stores and what's
in our wardrobe, it's the lovely tem Welcome back, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm well, I'm like high off fashion Month.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I bet you ay. It's where you shine, so lucky.
That's what we're talking about. Fashion Month has just wrapped.
That's all the big four fashion weeks around the world.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Correct, New York, London, Milan in Paris.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yes, and I wonder if they'll ever add Copenhagen into
that official or the calendar.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Wouldn't that be I kind of like that it's its own.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Separated too, and which is in May?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yes, Well, I mean we're not quite we're not quite
there yet, but we're getting there.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But let's unpack the four big guys.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So you are a pro at all of this, and
I'm going to try and picture with smitflow where I can.
Can we start with street style? So what did you
notice from looking at the imagery? What's trending? What did
you just think was cool?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
There's one key overarching trend, which is about embracing maximalism.
After seasons of this kind of cookie cutter minimalism, it's
been like the rowification of fashion, if you know what
I mean. Brands are wanting to echo what the Olsen
Twins or the Olsen sisters have done with their label.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
The Row.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So it's been these neutral layers, this kind of nondescript branding,
this if you know, you know, sort of level of luxury.
But now we're going to see the opposite come through.
So the headline I'm seeing from the street style is quiet,
luxury is over. There's this air of eccentricity coming through,
and I guess like dressing for your own gaze. So
(02:38):
I saw on Instagram reel the other day that said,
I'm going to paraphrase, cool girls are wearing outfits that
only make sense to them. I love that sentiment because
it's about following your own lead, and perhaps it's about
tapping into like a pastiche of different fashion forward styles
but sort of remixing them in a way that feels
comfortable and cool for you, your lifestyle and your aesthetic, rather
than what a TikTok or a magazine is stating.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Is that search?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of the stuff you can't really search,
isn't it correct?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It feels like it's innate to these women and men
in the way that they're dressing, but I'm sure that
it's more labored than that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, I was in Paris a few weeks ago during
fashion week, and I could not agree more. The traffic
in Paris is always horrific, but fashion week is even worse.
So you're crawling in an uber And the only reason
I like it is because of the people watching.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And you got to see it in real life. I
got to see it in real life.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Tell me all about it.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, I mean, I'm not a really big celebrity person.
I don't really care for celebrities, but I just love
watching real women. And they were, you know, just exactly
what you said. It's like an outfit I never would
have thought of, and it looks like they didn't even
think it through. I'm assuming they did, but there was
no sort of fashion statements in that they were all,
you know, wearing statement in.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Red or this or that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
They just kind of put their cool outfits together. They
look effortless. They looked like they hadn't labored over them.
I'm assuming they did.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Do you think that is the Copenhagen effect, because I
feel like the way the Scandinavians are dressing.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yes, but it wasn't as quirky as that.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It was still quite you know, there was some tailoring,
some neutrals. I mean, it was Paris freezing Okay, so
you know, they're still wearing winter. But it was sort
of boots with socks and heels with stockings and like
that kind of cool stuff. But it wasn't wacky colors
and really mismatched. It was just kind of oh, Like
I was like, I've never thought of that weight and
(04:23):
I had to really sort of dissect it to go, oh, yeah,
I've got similar things in my wardrobe and I'd never
put them together.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I just loved it, and I just think that, you know,
I was only on the ground in Paris Fashion Week timing.
I wasn't all over the world. Unfortunately. Maybe next year
we'll go together. But I just thought these women in
particular just looked great and very much like themselves, Like
no one looked the same.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It was like everyone was wearing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
What's the lesson there for our wardrobes? Do you think
going into winter? Now?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I reckon it is.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean I was going to say search Pinterest, but
don't because you don't know what he's searching. I think
it's just going to your wardrobe, pull out all the
pieces that bring you joy and then try them on
together in different kind of combination.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Doing this I've been having a lot of fun with this.
Like I'll put a blazer with a wrap skirt, like
a stripe wrap skirt that feels like a summer piece,
but then the blazer's a winter layer, and then I've
got like a vintage graphic tea underneath, and then like
you know, I'm like a white heel or something or
a loafer and just it it feels like it shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Wor yeah, it's kind of like the wrong shoe theory,
but with your outfit, and you don't want to make
it so wacky and too obviously, like you don't feel
comfortable because it doesn't work, but just like, oh, I
probably wouldn't wear that with that, but should I try
it on? Take a photo or you know, take a
look in the mirror, and then go, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's kind of unexpected.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Effortless but effortful, Yes, effort less but not too quirky.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
What else did you spot?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I want to talk about power suiting because this is
another trend that we saw across the board. It's this
masculine tailoring across like matching oversized suit jackets and trousers,
and then also things like pinstripe or charcoal skirt suits.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This was a lot on the runways.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yes it was, and it was reflected in the street
style very quite literally. Some attendees were embracing the necktie trend. Yeah,
that gives this real kind of eighties Wall Street financy vibe.
Thanks to the influence of sanlon Rol, which has been
showing ties in its collection for a few seasons now,
and it's really started to infiltrate street style. I had
(06:16):
a friend who's a keynote speaker, and she messaged me
just to consult on Sometimes she consults me on fashion matters,
and she says, can I do a suit with a
tie on stage? And but I think that speaks to
how this trend is, Like it's everywhere and it looks
really cool, but it still feels fresh and maybe a
little bit scary. So I'm keen to know what are
your thoughts? Are you going to go there?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I love it because I think it is much easier
for me. Like a season or two ago, it was
the red stockings that everyone was doing it, and I
want to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But I can't.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That was really hard. It ties, It's so easy. I've
got a lot of thin ties while thrifting. You can
get them really cheaply. I just don't think you want
that traditional sort of fat triangle one. You want it
to be a little bit not trumpy. No, not a
trump tie. You want a thin tie. My husband's got
plenty of them, which is great. When I was in Paris,
I was with an Australian makeup artist and she did
the shirt and the suit and the tie. Look, I
(07:06):
probably will do it. I find it harder with me
with a larger bust. I feel like you need to
have some sort of buttoned up here.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Because it sort of sits over.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, and I normally have things sort of undone. Yeah,
but give me a minute. I will work it out
because I think it looks so good and it can
look kind of loose and a bit ruffled.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And yeah, I like that more than the really buttoned
up vibe. To your point, because for me, I'm the same.
I like to have sort of an open neckline usually yeah,
like now I'm wearing a high neck tea.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But different to her, like you know, yeah, lots of layers.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's a lot going on up here, like in your
top sort of half of your body. So it makes
me wonder do you have to commit to the full
suit and tie or is there a way to kind
of do a tie in a more accessible way? And
I would probably say.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No, I think you have to do with a blazer,
but like a wide leg jean.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Interesting, it's giving aver all a beat. Like I didn't
want to say it, but I.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Know, not like that, like a beige blazer, tucked in shirt,
like a really oversized kill Remark blazer and a really
cool wide leg pant.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh that sounds so that was everywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Now you've put it in my Yeah, well you saw it.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You could do that. What about you? What did you see?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So lots of sort of things that I guess if
I didn't see them on such stylish ribbon, I would
think maybe quite mob wife. So lots of fake fur,
fake fur, cropped fake fur. I mean maybe there was
real for I didn't ask them. Let's just only endorse
fake obviously for obvious reasons.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And leopard print is still here.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So lots of leopard print shoes in sneakers, but mostly
in sort of kittenhel pumps.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Cute. Yeah, so a.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Fur and a leopard could be a bit mob wife,
but it's not. It's kind of really paired back and
paired with unusual things. That makes it less sort of femi, yeah,
and more of a staple, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well, they say Leopard is a neutral, right, and it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Was in the store still everywhere. Yeah, and you know
that was all their spring summer drops.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
So snake skin as well.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, there's a lot of any sort of animal print
is apparently a new neutral.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'll see how I go with that. And long skirts,
which I'm so happy about because I love a long skirt.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You do love a METI love a long skirt. Their
MAXI is on me because I buy a Meati. But
I'm sure true lots of long pleated skirts. For the
people I saw in Paris, it was kind of a
boot or a loafer. It's definitely more a line, more
actually a circle skirt, so there's a lot of volume.
It's not a pencil skirt or even sort of a
mermaid cut.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And then god for that. I know.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I've got so many satin slip skirts, but I still
can't walk in them, like, give me volume.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You know, I almost wore one today and I was like,
I'm not comfort No.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They look come for I've kind of few up the
back just to give my own cuts to my cheap
and I was like, I want to be able to
walk and then on top a trench that hits the
same length as the skirt, so really long trenches and
a lot of leather or fake leather trenches.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Okay, yes, I like that the interplay between the trench
and the skirt. This is a kick on from that
Bataga Venetta leather circle skirt in a few seasons ago.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
They were everywhere piece bizarrez Ya mangoes. They're in every
single store in either real leather or fake leather, depending
on I guess your ethics and your budget, which is
good anything else.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I mean, I'm always just on the lookout for what
Christine Centenaria, the editor of Australian Vogue, is wearing. She's
like my personal style, like on any siding of her.
I mean I didn't physically see her in person, but
I just I love seeing her Australian take on high
fashion and her styling to me feels more wearable and approachable.
(10:26):
Although she's still wearing a Lyre and Balenciaga, but in
a way that's very her and her own brand or
her own brand wardrobe. NI see it correct but in
a sea of these kind of extravagant and more labored looks,
I feel like the ease of her styling is so refreshing.
So she had a gray power suit look. She had
this giant cream faux fur coat, but she wore it
with blue baggy jeans. She tends to have like one
(10:49):
fitted element in her outfits and then one more oversized
or voluminous or dramatic shape, and that's like the tension
in her outfits. So there's a lot we can from
that exactly. So in one look she had this tight,
long sleeve top with this voluminous leather pencil skirt. There
you go. And then in another she had like an
oversized denim shacket, which feels so terrible. So I'm sure
(11:10):
we've all got one of her brand. But then bare
legs and then these chunky Chloe clogs. So it was
bringing the volume on.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The bottom, dissecting what you've just said there, We've all
kind of got those pieces. Like I've got a lot
(11:38):
of oversized jackets and people have said, where did you
get them? I'm like, it's just a denim shirt or jacket,
and I just sized up a few sizes correct the
w you's got great ones. Target, Like I interviewed Eva
Gallambus from parlor X and her Spendy of course was
an a liar white East West bag and it was
absolutely beautiful and so it was kind of on my
radar and then I was like, they're everywhere. I had
(11:58):
something confirmed while I was there on the streets, is
that the East West bag is here and it's not
going anywhere else. It's kind of like a baggette bag.
It's long and skinny leather and then the handle's really long.
So it's design mind for European winters because all your
layers and it fits under your arm and it doesn't
slip off or it doesn't feel.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That Why it's designed that way that is, I thought
it was just like a design element.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's so that your your big jump on your big
coat and then it still sits under your arm, so
it's classified as a shoulder bag. So it feels kind
of disproportionate when you look at it, but in a
cool way.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But it's a practical design.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
It does look really directional, but still like something that
you could invest in and use for a long time.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Totally, and we're already seeing lots of sort of global
high street brands do them so you don't have to
buy a designer one. But they were just everything I
was lusting over on the lovely French women.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I'm seeing you buying one. I already in your future.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I tell you their high I mean, we've got great
high Street here, which is what.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's at high Street? I'm like, is that London?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I don't?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
It is?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And drug store too?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
We do? But you know your Mango is youzar as
your H and M's. It's kind of everywhere inaccessible and
it's already there. So what do you think we will
adopt and how are we going to wear it?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Important question because as we know runway trends, it's not
necessarily about incorporating that into your daily style.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Not if it's just art to be observed and admired.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
It's conceptual, and then it trickles down to something more approachable. Yes, absolutely,
but it starts with the high concept stuff and I'm
not going to go there necessarily. I've definitely looked at
this through the lens of would we wear it? Can
we wear a kit?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
How would we will a style of it come to
the stores at affordable price? It by vibe.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, that's right. So the first trend, who what where?
Called this trend cool girl romance. If you think about
the Chloe effect, the fact that the French house is
everywhere again, it's had this rejuvenation under a new creative
director and now everyone wants to be boho again. But
this is like the move on from that more. I'm
going to call it almost like a costume me Boho vibe.
(14:02):
It's not that anymore. If you're a millennial from a
Specia point in time, you remember Boho the first time. Yeah,
I'm not saying like seven tiasboo the first first time.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I mean the first time we referenced, agreed, and that's
what I think of and then don't really want to
go there again.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I didn't love it, but I've just done it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You don't need like a faux fur vest and like French.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes, So this is the cool.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Girl move on. So it's feminine, ditzy florals. It's these
chic pastors, so not necessarily like the immediate pastels that
come to mind, like baby blue, baby pink, like they're there,
but it's more like a muted.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Version like sage. Yeah, they're kind of a dirty paste.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Dirty past I like that dirty pastels, lace and silk elements,
but worn in this contemporary way that feels really effortless.
And a key piece that came out for me time
and time again was the soft Maxi dress. So this
is something that we saw. I mean, Zimmerman and Chloe
of course are going to come up with his styles
of dresses, but more surprisingly at brands like Valentino and
Louis Vuitton, even it was these long slip dresses almost
(15:04):
like neglige styles, but as evening where and I can
really see us wearing those for our climate, but layered
over with like a cardigan or a knit on top
and a flat shoe or a sneaker.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, and even in the warmer months, just with a
slide for a holiday, Like our climate is so made
out for that, but your cardigan.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, so that was inspiring.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I did a lot of Maxi dresses with a nittin
winter because I just love the skirt and I'm like, well,
you can just be your skirt.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
That's a very good look. I feel like I actually
have seen this in your content, Like in your styling content,
you always do the knit over there and you make
it into a skirt when it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Was a dress, which I do that I think as
I'm endo and I just like flowiness. So it's just
like I just want to feel like I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Wearing a night.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
For it.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
What about you any trends.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, so definitely the corporate look. I mean they're calling
it corporate, but it's anything. But it's not your kind
of cue from nineteen ninety eight that you wore to
the office. It's definitely very oversized, some really sort of
beautiful structured tailoring. So if you've still got your oversized
blazers for the last few seasons and wide leg pants,
keep them out on the money.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I'm still wearing mine. I'm like, I'm not ready for
shrunken yet.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just feel better when things are a bit oversized.
Belts are everywhere, so again that's kind of borrowing from
corporate originally, but skinny and thin, mostly cinched at the waist.
But then still you know, you could wear something down
on your hips if you liked, but never cull your belts.
They don't take up a lot of room and they
will always come back. It's basically just are they think,
are they thinn do they sit at the waist, so
(16:34):
they sit at the hip.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Keep them all oh so true. That's like that that
should be like the official guide to belts, because you're
so right. It's like it's out one year and then
two years later it's correct exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
And again tying into the sort of that corporate tailoring
vibe is the power shoulder.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
So there was a lot of but not too eighties,
Like I don't know, I think it was very eighties.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You think the rest of it was paired with I
think there's a nod to eighties and obviously corporate, but
then it's kind of masculine mixed with feminine, and I
think as long as you don't have crazy, big clumpy
shoes on it, you look like you're wearing your dad's suits.
If you're kind of doing that with that skirt and
a beautiful kitten here.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Love.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That leads me actually to my next trend that came
through really strongly in outerwear, and it was with these
strong shoulders, the silhouette. It was these big shouldered coats
with drop waists, so to your point, it was a
lower waist in a lot of these coats and jackets,
and a real statement coat is the vibe that I'm seeing,
but it was in bright apple red, so it's a
(17:33):
color that isn't necessarily new, like that's been trending. I
think I wrote a piece from Mamameir about that color
like six months ago, but it's coming through an outerwear.
We've had this color more trending in like sportswear silhouettes
and then added us sambas and you know, little red caps.
But this is more like buying a statement outerwear piece,
which I thought was really cool. So we saw that
at Balenciaga, Isabelle Morant, Balmann, all the big heavy hitters
(17:57):
doing these big red jackets.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Wow, that's a statement. My favorite probably was what I'm
calling cool pumps. I don't know what we're going to
call them otherwise, but you think of a classic court
shoe a pump, but it's kind of had a cool
girl fashion makeover. So Camilla and Mark have done in
the last few seasons with the fur and the color,
and then I just saw so many in the stores
over in Paris on the runway on the people and
(18:20):
I was like, right, this is great. So it's kind
of like a higher up maybe I call it toe cleavage.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
What do you call that area. I've got a pair
on today that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I think that's correct. I've never thought about it a bit.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah. Yeah, so then your foot looks almost more closed in,
but not in a grandmar Not that there's anything wrong
with grandmas, but you know what I mean, not in
like a shade a woman's court shoe. But they just
kind of look cooler. There might be a shape to
the heel, our eyes moved.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
On from a traditional pump. Yeah, we don't really wear
those so much anymore, but you should get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I've got a beautiful pair of black Jimmy shows that
I've had forever, and they've got low toe cleavage, and
I'll save those for a wedding or you know, a
really black tie event. But if we're doing a pump
with your jeans or you widely pants or your maxiskirt
for day to day or you know, dinner out or
lunch with friends, I think a cooler shape just makes
it look a bit more modern.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Freshens it up a bit, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, and I fell in love, so I found a
lot of those. I'm gonna save those for bougie, but
because I think it was a trend longcoming.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
That kind of really peaked when I saw it. And
now the good thing is it's in the stores.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, exactly, we've hopped onto it quickly. Yeah we have Yeah,
one more from me. Yes, I've just got a headline
in my notes here. Shaggy fringing, fringing as well. Oh yes,
all elements of hair and texture texture. Oh yeah, and
we saw these sort of shaggy texture. I can't not
think shaggy textures across everything from coats to brass to shoes.
(19:40):
Like you said, so that's obviously the more.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Extreme and shealing or is it kind of like there
is shearing all? Is it like a rug? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yes, I did see a bit of that, but I thought, wow,
I mean it's hot here, like if you don't get
cold enough here, but it looks very cool.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's like you can do a brushed suede or you
can do a shearling or a faux shealing, like I said,
a furry bag or shoe like that does feel a
bit more extreme, yes, but so many shows had them,
and I think the way that this will be interpret
into more wearable options for our wardrobes, it's like more
pared back, whether it's like a pony hair or like
we said, shielding textures across accessories. Will you be wearing
(20:18):
hairy shoes or like I'm calling it, like a fraggle bag.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah. I thought about this because I love the look
of it, but I'm just too dirty. My shoes get dirty,
my bags get trashed, and I feel like they're the
kind of thing that you chuck on the car floor
and your shoes touch the ground. I just feel like furry.
I mean, I do have a pair of furry slides,
but they weren't expensive.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I don't know. I feel fur and like bags and
they get so dirty you don't really launder that.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
That's a good point, and at a lot of the
Runway shows, the fur was literally drag flo over on
the floor like a little creature, like a little hairy
mop creature cuddling along.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Practical. I agree, I would do anything.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I'd probably do like an affordable but cool furry coach
that I pull out occasionally because then I can put
it back and make sure it doesn't get trashed, it
doesn't go on the floor.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You stay tuned for bougie and but oh good, oh good.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Well, one more before we move on quickly is lace
was everywhere in these weeks, and thank god because it's
still everywhere here and it's all through wardrobe and I
love it. And I think going into autumn winter, you know,
you and I've both really got a lot of great
lace pieces. And I think with a knit with a cardigan,
with a blazer, with a trench, pants, skirts, tops, with jeans,
(21:22):
lacers here, just you know, layer whatever you want underneath
it to the level that you're comfortable with, whether it's
a bra or a tank or little shorties or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Add some corsetree as well. Oh I love that. Yeah,
I saw some.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Corsetry as well. So again that's kind of mixing. I
guess if you did some corstry at top, you do
masculine the bottom like a wide lead jean tanks you yeah, pants,
I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
It's very expensive.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
How wondred these?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Ready to do it?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah? I'm ready to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Okay. I have brought two pairs of what I'm calling
cool pumps.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, I like it. The label was sticking.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what else to call it.
And we don't really even call them pumps here, but
they're a bit of a court shoe, but they sound
so like.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Court shoe sounds.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, I don't dated anyway. Last year I went to
the Studio Amelia sample sale. That's a beautiful brand that
makes shoes and bags and clothes, and I was lucky
enough to get two pairs at an affordable price.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Studio Amelia.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I have never heard, oh my gosh, you're gonna fall
in along. Now I have, but trust me, you only
want to go to a sample sale.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Okay, one of them sort of looks like it's white leather,
thatched woven leather, and then the other one's just a
nude and I've worn them so much, so I knew
this cut was for me, and I get so many comments,
so I have a bougie and a budget for us.
My bougie is from a brand called Hale and Jack's.
It's called the Lindsay and it is two hundred and
forty nine dollars. It comes in a bone, which I
absolutely love because I only do like colored shoes in
(23:02):
winter and the thing that you do, yeah, well, black
makes me depressed in winter. I mean, I've got a
few pairs of black loafers, but I mostly wear whites
and creams in my clothes.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And my shodice, and with denim and everything you might browns,
it makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I can't black ess, I think, because I've got black
hair as well. I just look like gumming the Mattrix
or something. They're come in a beautiful like deep red
merlow and a black, and they're kind of like a
high shine. They've got that very cool sort of angular
heel that all these shoes have and a higher Totally, bitch,
these are beautiful two hundred and forty nine ninety five,
But I have cheaper options for you if you'd like.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Please.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
The ones I'm wearing today I bought from Tony Bianco recently.
They are the Trees Bordo Napa. They were originally two
hundred and twenty dollars, down to one hundred dollars with
an extra twenty percent off, so.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I got them for eighty dollars. I saw you lurking
the Tony Bianco sale and I was straight in that
and I was like, stop me, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
But there's not many sizes left. So let me tell
you another one that's very similar of theirs, but it's
a new style. It is the cherry very crinkle, and
it's exact same cart. It's just a crinkle and that's
two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Cherry's very Crinkle sounds delicious.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Cherry very crinkle, and it also comes in black crinkle,
chocolate crinkle, yuppy liqure crinkle, and I'm guessing it would
be called.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It's like crinkly leather.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, yeah, they're great. So they're two hundred bucks. But yeah,
you're going to see a lot of that style everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
So comfy really, so you're wearing them now and that's a.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
This is like the fourth time I've worn them and
I got them a week ago. Okay, fab they're so comfy.
Look let me show them.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Oh she's taking heels.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
The heels not high and this is the toe cleavage
area I'm talking about. And it's so you're not gripping
to hold yourself in because it's not like it's.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Too I see what you mean. It's like some Yeah,
because I have an old pair of peer hardy heels
that I wore a lot in my like old mag days,
black painted leather and they have low toe cleavage, and
I do you have to like pigeon.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
It's like wearing thongs. Yeah, I could run in these.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Great to know. All right, challenge you on that later.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Tell me your Boushian budget.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
We talked about the shaggy accessories we did. This trend
has already actually hit the shops here. So Alias May
shoe brand that many of us love already for their
chunky sandals. Their autumn winter range has lots of styles
coming through in fluffy textures. I had a little look
and I was like, oh, there's one, this one, this one,
all different styles. So the Emmanuel is a pair that
(25:23):
I love. It's this black leather loafer with gold hardware
on top, but it's backless like a mule, and at
the back it has this fluffy caramel shearling. Just a
little a shit, sounds like there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
It sounds fun.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, it is kind of fun but chic at the
same time. It's kind of like there was a Gucci
shoe many years ago that all the girls had, and
you're thinking about that, but like an updated version not
as expensive. No, no, well, let me tell you. I
mean it's in my bougie But for me, Alias May's
quality is great. They're made to last. I've had some
of their slides for years and years Australian. Two they
(25:58):
are Australian. Yeah, so these are at two hundred and
twenty nine dollars ninety five. This is for me about
incorporating like a hint of fluff, but it's not the
whole shoe. However, they also have entire shoe that are fluffy,
but I'm just not quite ready for those yet.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Like interest in retail decision, isn't it, because it's like,
how many people are going to buy those?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
That's I love to look at them. But as a brand,
will they sell?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I think they will.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Watch this space, we'll look for ourselves to save this
falled out. Dissect this further on the muma Mere website
and write it out. I think fluffy shoes are due
their moment. Let's talk about budgets. So, I don't know
if you've heard of a Swedish high street brand called
I think it's pronounced a naked but it's na dash
kd yes.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But I didn't ever know how to say it, just
like and I didn't know. So there you go, there
you go.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
If you haven't heard of it, don't go there, don't scroll.
It's too good.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's like you're going to say, like you googled naked
and the wrong stuff came up. You know what, Damn
that's tam. You and I have the same birthday and
so the same personality, so you know as soon as
you say.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
That this brand is my new obsession, it's like if
everything was actually wearable. I was inspired to go on
there and look for textured out of wear. Do they
ship to Australia? They do, and it's free. What I
not have to go right now ruining my life if
you search for shearing or faux fur. They have so
many great options. I came across one option called the
(27:28):
collar detail bonded Jacket. It's a black faux leather cocoon
jacket with a waist tie. I've got that extra waist
that jacket. Yeah, it's so nice. It has this worn
kind of cream shearaling on the inner layer and then
it's also on the collar and the sleeves. It looks
expensive to me, but it's one hundred and seventy nine
ninety five.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
They've got really good stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, they really. This is why I'm warning you.

Mama Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Whoever said orange is a new pink with seriously disturbed.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Laurels for spraying groundbreaking?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Oh my god, you have to do it. You live
for fashion.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Hello and welcome to Nothing to Air, the podcast that
solves fashion problems.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And levels up your wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm Lee Campbellon every week I chat to an expert
who helps us get more out of the clothes we
already own and tells us exactly what is and isn't
worth adding to our wardrobes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Joining me again this week is.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
The wonderful Tomorra Holland she is here to help me
unpack the biggest four weeks in the fashion calendar each year,
Fashion Month. So Fashion Week has just finished in New York, London, Rome,
and Paris and that adds up to Fashion Month and
that's where all the trends sort of start and trickle down.
So to help me understand what the trends are and
(01:09):
how they're going to translate to our stores and what's
in our wardrobe, it's the lovely tem Welcome back, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm well, I'm like high off fashion Month.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I bet you ay. It's where you shine, so lucky.
That's what we're talking about. Fashion Month has just wrapped.
That's all the big four fashion weeks around the world.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Correct, New York, London, Milan in Paris.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yes, and I wonder if they'll ever add Copenhagen into
that official or the calendar.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Wouldn't that be I kind of like that it's its own.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Separated too, and which is in May?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yes, Well, I mean we're not quite we're not quite
there yet, but we're getting there.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
But let's unpack the four big guys.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So you are a pro at all of this, and
I'm going to try and picture with smitflow where I can.
Can we start with street style? So what did you
notice from looking at the imagery? What's trending? What did
you just think was cool?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
There's one key overarching trend, which is about embracing maximalism.
After seasons of this kind of cookie cutter minimalism, it's
been like the rowification of fashion, if you know what
I mean. Brands are wanting to echo what the Olsen
Twins or the Olsen sisters have done with their label.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
The Row.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So it's been these neutral layers, this kind of nondescript branding,
this if you know, you know, sort of level of luxury.
But now we're going to see the opposite come through.
So the headline I'm seeing from the street style is quiet,
luxury is over. There's this air of eccentricity coming through,
and I guess like dressing for your own gaze. So
(02:38):
I saw on Instagram reel the other day that said,
I'm going to paraphrase, cool girls are wearing outfits that
only make sense to them. I love that sentiment because
it's about following your own lead, and perhaps it's about
tapping into like a pastiche of different fashion forward styles
but sort of remixing them in a way that feels
comfortable and cool for you, your lifestyle and your aesthetic, rather
than what a TikTok or a magazine is stating.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Is that search?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of the stuff you can't really search,
isn't it correct?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It feels like it's innate to these women and men
in the way that they're dressing, but I'm sure that
it's more labored than that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, I was in Paris a few weeks ago during
fashion week, and I could not agree more. The traffic
in Paris is always horrific, but fashion week is even worse.
So you're crawling in an uber And the only reason
I like it is because of the people watching.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And you got to see it in real life. I
got to see it in real life.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Tell me all about it.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, I mean, I'm not a really big celebrity person.
I don't really care for celebrities, but I just love
watching real women. And they were, you know, just exactly
what you said. It's like an outfit I never would
have thought of, and it looks like they didn't even
think it through. I'm assuming they did, but there was
no sort of fashion statements in that they were all,
you know, wearing statement in.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Red or this or that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
They just kind of put their cool outfits together. They
look effortless. They looked like they hadn't labored over them.
I'm assuming they did.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Do you think that is the Copenhagen effect, because I
feel like the way the Scandinavians are dressing.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yes, but it wasn't as quirky as that.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It was still quite you know, there was some tailoring,
some neutrals. I mean, it was Paris freezing Okay, so
you know, they're still wearing winter. But it was sort
of boots with socks and heels with stockings and like
that kind of cool stuff. But it wasn't wacky colors
and really mismatched. It was just kind of oh, Like
I was like, I've never thought of that weight and
(04:23):
I had to really sort of dissect it to go, oh, yeah,
I've got similar things in my wardrobe and I'd never
put them together.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I just loved it, and I just think that, you know,
I was only on the ground in Paris Fashion Week timing.
I wasn't all over the world. Unfortunately. Maybe next year
we'll go together. But I just thought these women in
particular just looked great and very much like themselves, Like
no one looked the same.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It was like everyone was wearing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
What's the lesson there for our wardrobes? Do you think
going into winter? Now?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I reckon it is.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean I was going to say search Pinterest, but
don't because you don't know what he's searching. I think
it's just going to your wardrobe, pull out all the
pieces that bring you joy and then try them on
together in different kind of combination.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Doing this I've been having a lot of fun with this.
Like I'll put a blazer with a wrap skirt, like
a stripe wrap skirt that feels like a summer piece,
but then the blazer's a winter layer, and then I've
got like a vintage graphic tea underneath, and then like
you know, I'm like a white heel or something or
a loafer and just it it feels like it shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Wor yeah, it's kind of like the wrong shoe theory,
but with your outfit, and you don't want to make
it so wacky and too obviously, like you don't feel
comfortable because it doesn't work, but just like, oh, I
probably wouldn't wear that with that, but should I try
it on? Take a photo or you know, take a
look in the mirror, and then go, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's kind of unexpected.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Effortless but effortful, Yes, effort less but not too quirky.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
What else did you spot?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I want to talk about power suiting because this is
another trend that we saw across the board. It's this
masculine tailoring across like matching oversized suit jackets and trousers,
and then also things like pinstripe or charcoal skirt suits.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This was a lot on the runways.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yes it was, and it was reflected in the street
style very quite literally. Some attendees were embracing the necktie trend. Yeah,
that gives this real kind of eighties Wall Street financy vibe.
Thanks to the influence of sanlon Rol, which has been
showing ties in its collection for a few seasons now,
and it's really started to infiltrate street style. I had
(06:16):
a friend who's a keynote speaker, and she messaged me
just to consult on Sometimes she consults me on fashion matters,
and she says, can I do a suit with a
tie on stage? And but I think that speaks to
how this trend is, Like it's everywhere and it looks
really cool, but it still feels fresh and maybe a
little bit scary. So I'm keen to know what are
your thoughts? Are you going to go there?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I love it because I think it is much easier
for me. Like a season or two ago, it was
the red stockings that everyone was doing it, and I
want to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But I can't.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That was really hard. It ties, It's so easy. I've
got a lot of thin ties while thrifting. You can
get them really cheaply. I just don't think you want
that traditional sort of fat triangle one. You want it
to be a little bit not trumpy. No, not a
trump tie. You want a thin tie. My husband's got
plenty of them, which is great. When I was in Paris,
I was with an Australian makeup artist and she did
the shirt and the suit and the tie. Look, I
(07:06):
probably will do it. I find it harder with me
with a larger bust. I feel like you need to
have some sort of buttoned up here.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Because it sort of sits over.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, and I normally have things sort of undone. Yeah,
but give me a minute. I will work it out
because I think it looks so good and it can
look kind of loose and a bit ruffled.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And yeah, I like that more than the really buttoned
up vibe. To your point, because for me, I'm the same.
I like to have sort of an open neckline usually yeah,
like now I'm wearing a high neck tea.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But different to her, like you know, yeah, lots of layers.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It's a lot going on up here, like in your
top sort of half of your body. So it makes
me wonder do you have to commit to the full
suit and tie or is there a way to kind
of do a tie in a more accessible way? And
I would probably say.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No, I think you have to do with a blazer,
but like a wide leg jean.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Interesting, it's giving aver all a beat. Like I didn't
want to say it, but I.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Know, not like that, like a beige blazer, tucked in shirt,
like a really oversized kill Remark blazer and a really
cool wide leg pant.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh that sounds so that was everywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Now you've put it in my Yeah, well you saw it.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You could do that. What about you? What did you see?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So lots of sort of things that I guess if
I didn't see them on such stylish ribbon, I would
think maybe quite mob wife. So lots of fake fur,
fake fur, cropped fake fur. I mean maybe there was
real for I didn't ask them. Let's just only endorse
fake obviously for obvious reasons.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
And leopard print is still here.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So lots of leopard print shoes in sneakers, but mostly
in sort of kittenhel pumps.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Cute. Yeah, so a.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Fur and a leopard could be a bit mob wife,
but it's not. It's kind of really paired back and
paired with unusual things. That makes it less sort of femi, yeah,
and more of a staple, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well, they say Leopard is a neutral, right, and it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Was in the store still everywhere. Yeah, and you know
that was all their spring summer drops.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
So snake skin as well.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, there's a lot of any sort of animal print
is apparently a new neutral.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'll see how I go with that. And long skirts,
which I'm so happy about because I love a long skirt.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You do love a METI love a long skirt. Their
MAXI is on me because I buy a Meati. But
I'm sure true lots of long pleated skirts. For the
people I saw in Paris, it was kind of a
boot or a loafer. It's definitely more a line, more
actually a circle skirt, so there's a lot of volume.
It's not a pencil skirt or even sort of a
mermaid cut.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And then god for that. I know.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I've got so many satin slip skirts, but I still
can't walk in them, like, give me volume.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You know, I almost wore one today and I was like,
I'm not comfort No.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They look come for I've kind of few up the
back just to give my own cuts to my cheap
and I was like, I want to be able to
walk and then on top a trench that hits the
same length as the skirt, so really long trenches and
a lot of leather or fake leather trenches.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Okay, yes, I like that the interplay between the trench
and the skirt. This is a kick on from that
Bataga Venetta leather circle skirt in a few seasons ago.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
They were everywhere piece bizarrez Ya mangoes. They're in every
single store in either real leather or fake leather, depending
on I guess your ethics and your budget, which is
good anything else.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I mean, I'm always just on the lookout for what
Christine Centenaria, the editor of Australian Vogue, is wearing. She's
like my personal style, like on any siding of her.
I mean I didn't physically see her in person, but
I just I love seeing her Australian take on high
fashion and her styling to me feels more wearable and approachable.
(10:26):
Although she's still wearing a Lyre and Balenciaga, but in
a way that's very her and her own brand or
her own brand wardrobe. NI see it correct but in
a sea of these kind of extravagant and more labored looks,
I feel like the ease of her styling is so refreshing.
So she had a gray power suit look. She had
this giant cream faux fur coat, but she wore it
with blue baggy jeans. She tends to have like one
(10:49):
fitted element in her outfits and then one more oversized
or voluminous or dramatic shape, and that's like the tension
in her outfits. So there's a lot we can from
that exactly. So in one look she had this tight,
long sleeve top with this voluminous leather pencil skirt. There
you go. And then in another she had like an
oversized denim shacket, which feels so terrible. So I'm sure
(11:10):
we've all got one of her brand. But then bare
legs and then these chunky Chloe clogs. So it was
bringing the volume on.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The bottom, dissecting what you've just said there, We've all
kind of got those pieces. Like I've got a lot
(11:38):
of oversized jackets and people have said, where did you
get them? I'm like, it's just a denim shirt or jacket,
and I just sized up a few sizes correct the
w you's got great ones. Target, Like I interviewed Eva
Gallambus from parlor X and her Spendy of course was
an a liar white East West bag and it was
absolutely beautiful and so it was kind of on my
radar and then I was like, they're everywhere. I had
(11:58):
something confirmed while I was there on the streets, is
that the East West bag is here and it's not
going anywhere else. It's kind of like a baggette bag.
It's long and skinny leather and then the handle's really long.
So it's design mind for European winters because all your
layers and it fits under your arm and it doesn't
slip off or it doesn't feel.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That Why it's designed that way that is, I thought
it was just like a design element.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's so that your your big jump on your big
coat and then it still sits under your arm, so
it's classified as a shoulder bag. So it feels kind
of disproportionate when you look at it, but in a
cool way.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But it's a practical design.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
It does look really directional, but still like something that
you could invest in and use for a long time.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Totally, and we're already seeing lots of sort of global
high street brands do them so you don't have to
buy a designer one. But they were just everything I
was lusting over on the lovely French women.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I'm seeing you buying one. I already in your future.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I tell you their high I mean, we've got great
high Street here, which is what.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's at high Street? I'm like, is that London?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I don't?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
It is?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And drug store too?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
We do? But you know your Mango is youzar as
your H and M's. It's kind of everywhere inaccessible and
it's already there. So what do you think we will
adopt and how are we going to wear it?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Important question because as we know runway trends, it's not
necessarily about incorporating that into your daily style.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Not if it's just art to be observed and admired.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
It's conceptual, and then it trickles down to something more approachable. Yes, absolutely,
but it starts with the high concept stuff and I'm
not going to go there necessarily. I've definitely looked at
this through the lens of would we wear it? Can
we wear a kit?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
How would we will a style of it come to
the stores at affordable price? It by vibe.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, that's right. So the first trend, who what where?
Called this trend cool girl romance. If you think about
the Chloe effect, the fact that the French house is
everywhere again, it's had this rejuvenation under a new creative
director and now everyone wants to be boho again. But
this is like the move on from that more. I'm
going to call it almost like a costume me Boho vibe.
(14:02):
It's not that anymore. If you're a millennial from a
Specia point in time, you remember Boho the first time. Yeah,
I'm not saying like seven tiasboo the first first time.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I mean the first time we referenced, agreed, and that's
what I think of and then don't really want to
go there again.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I didn't love it, but I've just done it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You don't need like a faux fur vest and like French.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes, So this is the cool.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Girl move on. So it's feminine, ditzy florals. It's these
chic pastors, so not necessarily like the immediate pastels that
come to mind, like baby blue, baby pink, like they're there,
but it's more like a muted.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Version like sage. Yeah, they're kind of a dirty paste.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Dirty past I like that dirty pastels, lace and silk elements,
but worn in this contemporary way that feels really effortless.
And a key piece that came out for me time
and time again was the soft Maxi dress. So this
is something that we saw. I mean, Zimmerman and Chloe
of course are going to come up with his styles
of dresses, but more surprisingly at brands like Valentino and
Louis Vuitton, even it was these long slip dresses almost
(15:04):
like neglige styles, but as evening where and I can
really see us wearing those for our climate, but layered
over with like a cardigan or a knit on top
and a flat shoe or a sneaker.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, and even in the warmer months, just with a
slide for a holiday, Like our climate is so made
out for that, but your cardigan.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, so that was inspiring.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I did a lot of Maxi dresses with a nittin
winter because I just love the skirt and I'm like, well,
you can just be your skirt.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
That's a very good look. I feel like I actually
have seen this in your content, Like in your styling content,
you always do the knit over there and you make
it into a skirt when it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Was a dress, which I do that I think as
I'm endo and I just like flowiness. So it's just
like I just want to feel like I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Wearing a night.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
For it.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
What about you any trends.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, so definitely the corporate look. I mean they're calling
it corporate, but it's anything. But it's not your kind
of cue from nineteen ninety eight that you wore to
the office. It's definitely very oversized, some really sort of
beautiful structured tailoring. So if you've still got your oversized
blazers for the last few seasons and wide leg pants,
keep them out on the money.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I'm still wearing mine. I'm like, I'm not ready for
shrunken yet.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just feel better when things are a bit oversized.
Belts are everywhere, so again that's kind of borrowing from
corporate originally, but skinny and thin, mostly cinched at the waist.
But then still you know, you could wear something down
on your hips if you liked, but never cull your belts.
They don't take up a lot of room and they
will always come back. It's basically just are they think,
are they thinn do they sit at the waist, so
(16:34):
they sit at the hip.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Keep them all oh so true. That's like that that
should be like the official guide to belts, because you're
so right. It's like it's out one year and then
two years later it's correct exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
And again tying into the sort of that corporate tailoring
vibe is the power shoulder.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
So there was a lot of but not too eighties,
Like I don't know, I think it was very eighties.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You think the rest of it was paired with I
think there's a nod to eighties and obviously corporate, but
then it's kind of masculine mixed with feminine, and I
think as long as you don't have crazy, big clumpy
shoes on it, you look like you're wearing your dad's suits.
If you're kind of doing that with that skirt and
a beautiful kitten here.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Love.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That leads me actually to my next trend that came
through really strongly in outerwear, and it was with these
strong shoulders, the silhouette. It was these big shouldered coats
with drop waists, so to your point, it was a
lower waist in a lot of these coats and jackets,
and a real statement coat is the vibe that I'm seeing,
but it was in bright apple red, so it's a
(17:33):
color that isn't necessarily new, like that's been trending. I
think I wrote a piece from Mamameir about that color
like six months ago, but it's coming through an outerwear.
We've had this color more trending in like sportswear silhouettes
and then added us sambas and you know, little red caps.
But this is more like buying a statement outerwear piece,
which I thought was really cool. So we saw that
at Balenciaga, Isabelle Morant, Balmann, all the big heavy hitters
(17:57):
doing these big red jackets.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Wow, that's a statement. My favorite probably was what I'm
calling cool pumps. I don't know what we're going to
call them otherwise, but you think of a classic court
shoe a pump, but it's kind of had a cool
girl fashion makeover. So Camilla and Mark have done in
the last few seasons with the fur and the color,
and then I just saw so many in the stores
over in Paris on the runway on the people and
(18:20):
I was like, right, this is great. So it's kind
of like a higher up maybe I call it toe cleavage.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
What do you call that area. I've got a pair
on today that.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I think that's correct. I've never thought about it a bit.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah. Yeah, so then your foot looks almost more closed in,
but not in a grandmar Not that there's anything wrong
with grandmas, but you know what I mean, not in
like a shade a woman's court shoe. But they just
kind of look cooler. There might be a shape to
the heel, our eyes moved.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
On from a traditional pump. Yeah, we don't really wear
those so much anymore, but you should get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I've got a beautiful pair of black Jimmy shows that
I've had forever, and they've got low toe cleavage, and
I'll save those for a wedding or you know, a
really black tie event. But if we're doing a pump
with your jeans or you widely pants or your maxiskirt
for day to day or you know, dinner out or
lunch with friends, I think a cooler shape just makes
it look a bit more modern.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Freshens it up a bit, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, and I fell in love, so I found a
lot of those. I'm gonna save those for bougie, but
because I think it was a trend longcoming.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
That kind of really peaked when I saw it. And
now the good thing is it's in the stores.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, exactly, we've hopped onto it quickly. Yeah we have Yeah,
one more from me. Yes, I've just got a headline
in my notes here. Shaggy fringing, fringing as well. Oh yes,
all elements of hair and texture texture. Oh yeah, and
we saw these sort of shaggy texture. I can't not
think shaggy textures across everything from coats to brass to shoes.
(19:40):
Like you said, so that's obviously the more.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Extreme and shealing or is it kind of like there
is shearing all? Is it like a rug? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yes, I did see a bit of that, but I thought, wow,
I mean it's hot here, like if you don't get
cold enough here, but it looks very cool.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's like you can do a brushed suede or you
can do a shearling or a faux shealing, like I said,
a furry bag or shoe like that does feel a
bit more extreme, yes, but so many shows had them,
and I think the way that this will be interpret
into more wearable options for our wardrobes, it's like more
pared back, whether it's like a pony hair or like
we said, shielding textures across accessories. Will you be wearing
(20:18):
hairy shoes or like I'm calling it, like a fraggle bag.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah. I thought about this because I love the look
of it, but I'm just too dirty. My shoes get dirty,
my bags get trashed, and I feel like they're the
kind of thing that you chuck on the car floor
and your shoes touch the ground. I just feel like furry.
I mean, I do have a pair of furry slides,
but they weren't expensive.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I don't know. I feel fur and like bags and
they get so dirty you don't really launder that.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
That's a good point, and at a lot of the
Runway shows, the fur was literally drag flo over on
the floor like a little creature, like a little hairy
mop creature cuddling along.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Practical. I agree, I would do anything.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I'd probably do like an affordable but cool furry coach
that I pull out occasionally because then I can put
it back and make sure it doesn't get trashed, it
doesn't go on the floor.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You stay tuned for bougie and but oh good, oh good.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Well, one more before we move on quickly is lace
was everywhere in these weeks, and thank god because it's
still everywhere here and it's all through wardrobe and I
love it. And I think going into autumn winter, you know,
you and I've both really got a lot of great
lace pieces. And I think with a knit with a cardigan,
with a blazer, with a trench, pants, skirts, tops, with jeans,
(21:22):
lacers here, just you know, layer whatever you want underneath
it to the level that you're comfortable with, whether it's
a bra or a tank or little shorties or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Add some corsetree as well. Oh I love that. Yeah,
I saw some.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Corsetry as well. So again that's kind of mixing. I
guess if you did some corstry at top, you do
masculine the bottom like a wide lead jean tanks you yeah, pants,
I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
It's very expensive.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
How wondred these?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Ready to do it?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah? I'm ready to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Okay. I have brought two pairs of what I'm calling
cool pumps.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, I like it. The label was sticking.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what else to call it.
And we don't really even call them pumps here, but
they're a bit of a court shoe, but they sound
so like.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Court shoe sounds.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, I don't dated anyway. Last year I went to
the Studio Amelia sample sale. That's a beautiful brand that
makes shoes and bags and clothes, and I was lucky
enough to get two pairs at an affordable price.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Studio Amelia.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I have never heard, oh my gosh, you're gonna fall
in along. Now I have, but trust me, you only
want to go to a sample sale.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Okay, one of them sort of looks like it's white leather,
thatched woven leather, and then the other one's just a
nude and I've worn them so much, so I knew
this cut was for me, and I get so many comments,
so I have a bougie and a budget for us.
My bougie is from a brand called Hale and Jack's.
It's called the Lindsay and it is two hundred and
forty nine dollars. It comes in a bone, which I
absolutely love because I only do like colored shoes in
(23:02):
winter and the thing that you do, yeah, well, black
makes me depressed in winter. I mean, I've got a
few pairs of black loafers, but I mostly wear whites
and creams in my clothes.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And my shodice, and with denim and everything you might browns,
it makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I can't black ess, I think, because I've got black
hair as well. I just look like gumming the Mattrix
or something. They're come in a beautiful like deep red
merlow and a black, and they're kind of like a
high shine. They've got that very cool sort of angular
heel that all these shoes have and a higher Totally, bitch,
these are beautiful two hundred and forty nine ninety five,
But I have cheaper options for you if you'd like.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Please.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
The ones I'm wearing today I bought from Tony Bianco recently.
They are the Trees Bordo Napa. They were originally two
hundred and twenty dollars, down to one hundred dollars with
an extra twenty percent off, so.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I got them for eighty dollars. I saw you lurking
the Tony Bianco sale and I was straight in that
and I was like, stop me, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
But there's not many sizes left. So let me tell
you another one that's very similar of theirs, but it's
a new style. It is the cherry very crinkle, and
it's exact same cart. It's just a crinkle and that's
two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Cherry's very Crinkle sounds delicious.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Cherry very crinkle, and it also comes in black crinkle,
chocolate crinkle, yuppy liqure crinkle, and I'm guessing it would
be called.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It's like crinkly leather.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, yeah, they're great. So they're two hundred bucks. But yeah,
you're going to see a lot of that style everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
So comfy really, so you're wearing them now and that's a.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
This is like the fourth time I've worn them and
I got them a week ago. Okay, fab they're so comfy.
Look let me show them.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Oh she's taking heels.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
The heels not high and this is the toe cleavage
area I'm talking about. And it's so you're not gripping
to hold yourself in because it's not like it's.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Too I see what you mean. It's like some Yeah,
because I have an old pair of peer hardy heels
that I wore a lot in my like old mag days,
black painted leather and they have low toe cleavage, and
I do you have to like pigeon.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
It's like wearing thongs. Yeah, I could run in these.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Great to know. All right, challenge you on that later.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Tell me your Boushian budget.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
We talked about the shaggy accessories we did. This trend
has already actually hit the shops here. So Alias May
shoe brand that many of us love already for their
chunky sandals. Their autumn winter range has lots of styles
coming through in fluffy textures. I had a little look
and I was like, oh, there's one, this one, this one,
all different styles. So the Emmanuel is a pair that
(25:23):
I love. It's this black leather loafer with gold hardware
on top, but it's backless like a mule, and at
the back it has this fluffy caramel shearling. Just a
little a shit, sounds like there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
It sounds fun.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, it is kind of fun but chic at the
same time. It's kind of like there was a Gucci
shoe many years ago that all the girls had, and
you're thinking about that, but like an updated version not
as expensive. No, no, well, let me tell you. I
mean it's in my bougie But for me, Alias May's
quality is great. They're made to last. I've had some
of their slides for years and years Australian. Two they
(25:58):
are Australian. Yeah, so these are at two hundred and
twenty nine dollars ninety five. This is for me about
incorporating like a hint of fluff, but it's not the
whole shoe. However, they also have entire shoe that are fluffy,
but I'm just not quite ready for those yet.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Like interest in retail decision, isn't it, because it's like,
how many people are going to buy those?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
That's I love to look at them. But as a brand,
will they sell?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I think they will.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Watch this space, we'll look for ourselves to save this
falled out. Dissect this further on the muma Mere website
and write it out. I think fluffy shoes are due
their moment. Let's talk about budgets. So, I don't know
if you've heard of a Swedish high street brand called
I think it's pronounced a naked but it's na dash
kd yes.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But I didn't ever know how to say it, just
like and I didn't know. So there you go, there
you go.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
If you haven't heard of it, don't go there, don't scroll.
It's too good.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's like you're going to say, like you googled naked
and the wrong stuff came up. You know what, Damn
that's tam. You and I have the same birthday and
so the same personality, so you know as soon as
you say.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
That this brand is my new obsession, it's like if
everything was actually wearable. I was inspired to go on
there and look for textured out of wear. Do they
ship to Australia? They do, and it's free. What I
not have to go right now ruining my life if
you search for shearing or faux fur. They have so
many great options. I came across one option called the
(27:28):
collar detail bonded Jacket. It's a black faux leather cocoon
jacket with a waist tie. I've got that extra waist
that jacket. Yeah, it's so nice. It has this worn
kind of cream shearaling on the inner layer and then
it's also on the collar and the sleeves. It looks
expensive to me, but it's one hundred and seventy nine
ninety five.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
They've got really good stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, they really. This is why I'm warning you.
