When you celebrate 25 years in the global fashion industry, you wanna make it a night to remember! And Tuesday night’s Perth Fashion Festival (PFF) finale was just that as Wheels & Dollbaby (W&Db) closed the whole calendar with a big rock band bang. Yup, W&Db went all out for their anniversary parade. The buzz […]
Monday night Perth Fashion Festival (PFF) took us into the dark heart of fashion. It’s here that we find ourselves seduced, or gasping with the audacity of it all.

Since blowing Broadway apart back in 2003, it has hurtled head first across the globe, consuming city after city with its big green shiny appeal. And now finally – and even though they never said it’d come here – Wicked […]
Whether it be the bygone days of brothels along a 1950’s Roe Street or the more recent media coverage marking the area as unsafe, Northbridge has always had a colourful past.

Of Cabbages & Kings return with What is Done in the Dark, a very noir romp through the woods. Gothic? Yes. Medieval? Yes. Enchanting? Simply. That and this new collection ticks all the right boxes.
