Picture Me

I just came across this clip for ‘Picture Me’, the doco about the real world of modelling. I can’t wait to see it. High Five!

fashion week, here we come!

As we sit at work, typing away at our computers, the who’s who of fashion are at the Offffiiiccciiaaall Media Launch at the Westin.

Just saw this on scoop: “For the second year running Air New Zealand Fashion Week will once again welcome Australian designers to its runway and there is expected to be huge interest in the first US designer label to show at Air New Zealand Fashion Week. Designers Richie Rich and Pamela Anderson are behind the MUSE label, an eco and animal friendly line of swimwear, ready to wear and shoes. MUSE will be launched at New York Fashion Week in early September and then the pair will bring the label to the runway at Air New Zealand Fashion Week on September 25th.”

PAMELA ANDERSON? WHAAAAAAAT. Is this the Pamela Anderson we all know and love ?

the uniform project

“Sheena Matheiken has pledged to wear the same dress every day for an entire year, in order to fundraise money for the akanksha foundation…” 

After seeing this in the herald, my immediate thought was ‘The same dress for a whole year?! What?!’, followed by ‘Isn’t that kind of unhygienic…?’, and finally ‘Where can I find out more about this?’

Okay, after a bit of internet stalking research, I have realised my initial reaction was completely stupid. What a GREAT IDEA! What she is doing is super clever! i love it. And i think the website looks great too. i heart the idea. i heart the website. awesome awesome awesome.

Sheena and her fashion designer friend, have come up with the design for a super-versatile dress (that can be worn back to front etc etc) that she is going to accessorise and ‘reinvent’ for every day using vintage accessories and things people have donated to her. (For all the people who also had cleanliness concerns, she has 7 carbon copies of the dress to use, so no problems there.) 62 days in (she started in may), I think she still looks awesome – and more importantly, different – in it almost (there are a couple of days I think aren’t that good..) every day. I’m interested to see how it goes. You can donate money or even self-designed accessories to the cause – check it out here. Pic after the jump.
