Summer Imagery

This week we release the start of our new Summer Campaign. Here is a sneak peek.

Due to being busy with Sydney and Fashion Week we shot it late this year but I am really pleased with the results.

Models Michael Whittaker and Christopher Landon have been photographed extensively internationally and they look great together. I worked out that this would be 25th collection that I have worked on with Karen Inderbitzen - Waller and as has been the trend in recent years she is once again assisted by Delphine Avril Planqueel. Hair by Greg Murrell from Ryder Salon and Styling and Direction by Crane Brothers Brand Manager Ben St George assisted by Ash McDonald making sure there are no stray threads and buttons.

The collection and the shoot is obviously very tailoring heavy with a number of new styles and shapes being introduced. Everything has started arriving into store and will continue to over the next month.

Bye Bye BlackBerry

I am a long term user of mobile devices. It all started with a Bell South connection in the late nineties and a Motorola DynaTac or "brick" as they were affectionately known: not much good for anything except making and receiving calls. This was then replaced and upgraded at regular intervals and included the Nokia 8110 and...
