'Close your eyes and let the bubble of thoughts slowly take you to a world, far far away. Drift through the clouds and beyond the horizon. Gently open your eyes and step in to the Monki world.'
If it wasn't for their bizarre, animated lookbook [see snapshot images below], you could almost be forgiven for thinking it was Top Shop. [But we didn't say that].
Progressive high street Swedish label Monki, is a self proclaimed 'way of life and doing fashion'. As a store concept and fashion brand, Monki designs represent independence and an 'alternative that's full of dreams'.Certainly that's not all Monki represents. Armed with an impressive commitment to the environment, sustainability and social justice, Monki have taken a stance against animal cruelty and do not use fur or down, and carefully monitor their sources of merino wool. Ethics aside, Monki is incredibly on trend and surprisingly well priced. We can only hope Monki ships to Australia in 2010.Monki is available in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Germany.

Mem'riesLight the corners of my mindMisty water-colored memoriesOf the way we were
I decided to take a trip down memory lane, however cliched that may be. Harking back to the 1990s when I first picked up Dolly and became aquainted with Kate. She shocked the world with her waif-like, heroin chic frame. I was entranced with her seemingly 'plain' beauty, those imperfectly spaced teeth, the lack of breasts and thighs that didn't touch. I aspired to look like that, and sadly, for a period of time did. I must say it was the unhappiest year of my life. Strangely enough when I was that thin, I don't remember feeling it. It's only when I look back on photos and see my 43kg self I grimace with shock. Unfortunately in the size zero era, I know girls - and women who still aspire to this. Ask yourself honestly, is it beautiful? I'm a little ashamed at my response.

MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK
AW10BERLIN
[jan 20 - 23]
This is not our image. Whose image is it?
www.mercedes-benzfashionweek.com
Well folks, it's that time of year again. Fashion week starts in a flurry all over the world, commencing with our favourite, Berlin.
Fashion Week Berlin pulls an an incredible array of both mainstream and ecclectic designers from around Europe. To be held at the chic Bebel Platz, we're especially looking forward to the collections of Little Shilpa, Arrondisment aq1, IC! Berlin, Kilian Kerner, Lena Hoschek, Green Showroom, Je Suis Belle, Michael Sontag, Mongrels in Common and Sam Frenzel (last year's Designer for Tomorrow).
One can get lost in Berlin. Four times the size of Paris, you can troll for weeks, if not months,independent design and vintage boutiques and sipping what is arguably the best cappuchino outside Melbourne. That's not to mention the culture, art and nightlife.
Comprised of 23 districts, our faves are Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, Charlottenburg and Friedrichshain.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun / and I say it's all right / It's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
[George Harrison for the Beatles]
Have you noticed that sunlight is a prevailing trend in fashion and design photography?
This is particular to fashion blogs such as Daydream Lily [a favourite] and Fashion Toast [a big gun]. Perhaps I love it because it reminds me of heady and carefree summers, or the fact that sunlight is so critical to our survival. Either way, the blissful nature in which certain photographers capture the sunlight intrigues, inspires and spellbinds me.
