Trend Alert: Beetlejuice…

Who could forget the classic black and white striped suit worn by Michael Keaton in 1988 when he played Betelgeuse in Tim Burton’s famous horror comedy flick, Beetlejuice?

Well who would have thought that in 2012, over 20 years later, the costume would have a resurgence on the catwalks of high fashion.

Balmain crafted a tailored b&w striped pant for their recent Spring 13 collection.




And many others have followed suit with a similar look for jeans and slacks, including Premiere trade event brand, Hudson.




Expect to see the black and white striped print in all your wardrobe staples from maxi dresses at March Jacobs Spring 13 to Blazers at Balmain… see more at our Pinterest board.

The return of the cut-off denim shorts…


Just as the weather is heating up, so is the fashion and that means shorter hemlines, backless and strapless will be making their way into our wardrobes.

But once again our recent obsession with the 90s comes back to haunt us with the cyclical return of the cut-off denim short, seen having a major moment on the streets during New York Fashion Week.

Fashion editors were seen sporting vintage Levi’s varieties with ripped, frayed edges and distressed details. Even Taylor Tomasi Hill was seen in black Ksubi’s offset with a long sleeveless blazer and shirt tails poking out the pockets.

Will you be sporting denim cut-offs this summer?

Mirrored reflection…


Fashion is all nostalgic for the early 90s lately. From double denim ensembles, to plaid shirts tied around the waist (seen at Phillip Lim Spring 13) and now mirrored sunglasses. From the subtle silver reflections to the super garish orange and blue shocking shades, they’ve all made their way onto the stylish noses of famous editors and bloggers for NYFW Spring 13.

Taylor Tomasi Hill made them famous here during her MBFWA tour rocking out the Westward Leaning orange shades.

If anything, it makes for a handy lipstick mirror… what do you think of the reflective look?

Majique in the mix at Fashion Exposed…


Christopher Esber for Majique Sword Brace Cuff: As seen at MBFWA 2012 will debut at Fashion Exposed via Ragtrader

It was difficult to miss the sleek sophisticated minimalism that was Christopher Esber at MBFWA. The entire fash pack was there including cult street fashion icon and Moda Operandi fashion director, Taylor Tomasi Hill. He is fashion’s latest golden boy.

But perhaps one of the most exciting stories to come out of his latest catwalk collection is the collaboration with local jewellery label Majique. The label joined forces with designer Christopher Esber for his highly anticipated MBFWA show earlier this year, to create a one-off accessory titled the ‘Christopher Esber for Majique Sword Brace Cuff’.

It is yet to hit the Australian market but following rave reviews post-show, both brands have decided to launch the product exclusively to wholesalers at Fashion Exposed autumn/winter trade event from 26-28 August at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.

This will be the first place retailers can purchase the cuff, which will retail for approximately $100.

In an interview with Ragtrader, Majique director Larry van Balkon said he is pleased with the continuing success of the joint venture.

“After much interest was shown at MBFWA in the ‘Christopher Esber for Majique Sword Brace Cuff’, I’m so pleased Christopher has decided to extend our collaborative work,” he said.

“We thought Fashion Exposed was the perfect opportunity to introduce this piece to the marketplace as attendees would appreciate the relationship between the two brands. I look forward to a continued working affiliation with Christopher.”
