KTZ Leg Brace Shoes SS10 - coming soon Bitchingandjunkfood
In my mind it all started with KTZ’s SS10 collection, that’s what sparked my imagination and drew my attention to a trend that I’m now seeing repeated everywhere. I’ve been meaning to blog this for ages but it’s taken the comfortably numb Christmas coma enable the allocation of some time to blog it – Injuries(not coma style though more acute pain, injuries, seeping wounds and lost limbs). We’ve bought the above styles for bitching – I’ve a black pair on order and I’m sure they’re going to help me walk better. This trend is particularly ironic in an industry that champions perfection and generally struggles with disability.

So pardon my seriously dark aesthete, but I can’t tell you how freaking excited I am for Emma Rea’s A/W 2010 collection ‘The Raven’; it just totally speaks to me with all its sartorially satanic splendour. Here’s a peak at what we Non-Aussies will be missing out on come March…

I’ve returned home to Australia for the Christmas holidays and thought I’d do a little trend reporting. Brisbane this week and one in Sydney next week.
Aussie chicks rock and I’m not just saying this because I’m Aussie (actually in spite of this I’m saying it) but they do have a relaxed, casual and cool sense of style that I’ve not encountered anywhere else in the world. It’s as sweaty & sexy as LA, but more thrown-on or “cas” as the locals would put it.
This chick, to me epitomises the Brissy look. It’s effortless and in no way looks contrived or put-together. American Apparel dress, ripped tights, Ray-Bans and topped off with an amazing Karen Walker neckpiece. It’s great.
There was lots of black on black. Black jeans with lil black camis, black sandals with black accessories. Hmmm… not your typical Summer get-up, eh? Personally, I love black in summer, I think it looks shit-hot and can vouch that you will be seeing lots of black in the BITCHY summer collection too.
There was also acid-wash denim, pretty crotchet tops and pixie-boots. Satchel bags teamed with floral vintage dresses, too cute hair accessories and killer bandanas. Look, I think pictures speak louder than words so sit back and take it in.

Kath and Marion – BITCHY A and BITCHY B(interchangeable though)
“One month, one month, 3 weeks, 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 2 weeks” – uttered by either myself or Kath every time a train got cancelled, the bus was late, it pissed rain. Since Kath joined Bitchy we’ve been working between the Far East(aka Hackney Wick, miles away from anywhere) and South London which has been trying at the best of times. I met Kath 4 years ago when we worked in fashion buying and design together and we’ve been mates ever since. At the start of 2009 we both decided to go it alone, me with BITCHY Kath with her label Danoki. The more we were in the touch the more we realised we were working towards the same ends so we decided to join forces on BITCHY to take it to the next level and I can honestly say it’s been a match made in heaven. We were even born on the same day!(two Leos can be challenging at times)
We were handed the keys to our new studio just off Mare Street on the 4th of Dec and been working round the clock to get everything ready. Thanks to everyone who helped us. We had little studio warming just before Christmas for our nearest and dearest some of whom you will see in the pictures below.

When I moved to the city of Angels more than three years ago, I had obviously been decipted by Albert Hammond and his lies that it never rains in California. I arrived to the Sunshine state with 17 pairs of different coloured Havaianas, five pairs of shorts, some vest tops, a few short dresses and maybe a pair of jeans or two. The rest of my wardrobe was to follow as soon as our visas were sorted and was until then to be held in some sort of customs/storage with other illegal immigrant garments.

Big thanks to Guy Hipwell and his wonderful team at Fashion156 for their continued support this year. We’re proud to be featured in their Soiree issue and we’re very happy to say there’s not a sequin beret in sight. This is what Christmas Fashion and Beauty editorials should look like, take note….

Ever since receiving the red sequined edition for my birthday in January ‘09 from a vodka-loving aunt, I’ve been hooked on this suited up vodka bottle trend (if not the alcohol itself…) and have decided to start a collection. Had to pick this up in Duty Free on my way back from a short stint in Trinidad last week…Absolut Rock, whose tagline should be ‘as if the studded trend hadn’t already reached critical mass…’. But I couldn’t resist!

Los Angelinos has a reputation of a penchant for flip flops and jeans and rumour has it we never get out of our yoga pants. None of the really big fashion houses are based here, our fashion week is not on the to do list for Anna Wintour, or even for many designer that ARE based here (Jeremy Scott showed his last one in London, Rodarte shows in NY and the list goes on.).
So, Los Angles may or may not be the epitome of Fashion, but one thing we are REALLY good at is film, and film is a constant inspiration and trendsetter for the fashion world.
Back in 1955, James Dean’s white t-shirt and leather jacket in Rebel without a cause made its way from the silver screen into any self styled rebels staple wardrobe.
T-shirt and leather jacket, just as right today as back then.

Ever since i was 5 years old, i would dive into my GodMothers make up bag and ask her if i could apply her YSL Red Lipstick to her lips. However i never thought i would one day become a make up artist.
I studied visual merchandising and then went on to Interior Design.
Finally one day realising i wanted to do MAKE UP and i LOVE it
