Acid Wash, Leather Jackets and Cut-outs


The children of the 80’s have certainly lived up to all expectations this weekend! Check-out images from Decadence at The Met and Vandalism at GPO....delicious!


Loving this high-waisted acid wash black denim skirt, teamed with a basic black singlet. The best way to wear this trend is simple… Anything acid wash is a huge statement so best to stick to complimentary block colours….the idea is to bring elements of the past to create a fashion-forward look…not to look like you are stuck in a time-warp!

GET THE LOOK: Acid Wash Dress, $75. Princess Polly (5 / 152 Adelaide St, Brisbane).



When it’s cold, cold, cold, how do you stay super trendy and not ruin that hot outfit underneath? Why, a leather jacket of course!! If your budget allows it, then splurge on high-quality leather… the investment will ensure you look stylish and can carry the piece into next season... Of course if the budget is a bit tight then there are a number of cheaper alternatives that will do the trick! Think bomber and hoodie…. two features that have bought the leather jacket into Winter 2009.

GET THE LOOK: Agent Ninety Nine Pu Biker Jacket, $139.95. General Pants (192 Albert St, Brisbane).



Can anyone say cut-out?

Instant sex appeal by baring flesh in all the right places... The cut-out dress puts a new twist on the fashion staple – the Little Black Dress (LBD). Simple, sexy, fun and right on the fashion money. Wear this look with statement heels and watch heads turn!

GET THE LOOK: Style Stalker Cut-out Dress $119. (http://www.stylestalker.com/shoponline/)


Stay tuned to find out who will make Brisbane's fashion cut next week...

PenyLane

Penlane.com was originally developed as a place of creative expression through articles and photographs, the website quickly began to have a cult following within the indie creative Brisbane scene.

After only 5 months of running the website they were approached by the owner of iconic Brisbane bar Alibi Room to publish a book of photographs. The book was launched as part of club night Monster Joes and all copies sold out in one night. Since launching the book penylan.com now receives an average of over 500 visits per day from Australia and all over the world. Feeling an insatiable thirst from its audience, they have recently ventured into online videos covering anything from fashion events, music festivals and unique club nights.

Check out the new PenyLane layout featuring an adorable new coverboy, fabulous red shoes and of course access to the latest, fascinating events in Brisbane’s fashion and underground entertainment scene.

Yours in the never-ending quest for something different,
Peny x
