Unwrapped 09 in Leederville

by songy on 06. Dec, 2009 in unwrapped 2009

Are you all done with the Christmas shopping in this silly season? I haven’t even started. It used to be relatively pain free for me when I used to live near a huge shopping centre which was my weekend hang-out spot (as sad as it may sound). However, I no longer have that luxury. That’s [...]

by songy on 02. Jul, 2009 in Perth Fashion Festival 2009, unwrapped 2009

While I was busy at work all day my gmail inbox getting filled with lots of interesting stuff. Long time coming actually, after nearly four weeks of boredom. Mind you I wasn’t actively looking for anything as I haven’t been that mobile due to an injury. I’m getting better now so back to business. Image [...]

Habutae Silk dresses by Anna Excell

by songy on 30. Apr, 2009 in unwrapped 2009

When I first saw Anna Excell’s dresses I felt like I was getting transported to Thailand. Anna’s dresses are incredibly simple. They are a bit like sarongs but much longer and made with 100% Habutae (Japanese) silk. The fabric is hand drawn and printed by Anna herself using Riso/screen print. One might say it’s nothing [...]

When I go out to street markets such as unwrapped I always find something or someone interesting . Christobel was more special than others. When I first spotted the stall and gave Christine my blog card I didn’t know exactly what she was about. At the time, it wasn’t that clear to me what her [...]

by songy on 10. Apr, 2009 in unwrapped 2009

Talented designers in their own right, got together to create a jewellery line that exudes quality but with affordable prices. How? Quality designs with cheaper materials.

Neckpieces heaven – Pinchandspoon by Isobel Macaulay

by songy on 08. Apr, 2009 in unwrapped 2009

I met Isobel at one of the chica day gatherings. I knew that she was a ‘neck piece’ designer but I was busy exchanging small talks so I didn’t think much of it at the time. A few months past since then. Guess who I came across at Unwrapped South Perth last week? Isobel with [...]
