On The Street: Aussie prints
- story THE FADER
You’d think that a theme of floral print dresses and Wayfarers wouldn’t make for much variation, but ladies in Sydney, Australia copyright that flare with their own little bit of pinache. Here’s what our Sydney style contributor Nat Jones had to say about summer style themes from the great Down Under:
“Sydney is hot as can be in summer and hot means light fabrics and designs. We’ve been seeing a plethora of cotton dresses dotted with simple floral prints from the 60’s and 70’s. Finishing the look off with splashes of jewelry and utilitarian footwear prepare Sydney ladies for traipsing the sweltering streets.”
On The Street: St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, Sydney
- story THE FADER
On the other side of the world they’re experiencing the tale end of summer and St Jerome’s Laneway Festival in Sydney proved to be the epicenter of chill Australian summer looks. Our Australian style contributor Nat Jones filled us in on the fashion and music happs: “St Jerome’s has managed to avoid a lot of the growing pains of other Aus festivals by restricting numbers and boasting an eclectic lineup for a number of years now. This year was no different, with everyone from dubstep don Rusko to LA noise makers No Age plus all kinds of randomness in between. These kinds of beats attract much more than the usual Bogan (read: Redneck) and Barbie crowds. From jumpsuits to over the top dresses, all styles were on display. Bright colors and buttoned up outfits seemed prevalent and while elements of fluro (Read: fluorescent) could still be spotted, they seemed to have run their poisonous course here in Aus.”
