The Dexter Rose Party….

And what a party it was… The Dexter Rose party at The Hangar on Saturday 21st November went off without a hitch. Heaps of people, even more booze, entertainment by the likes of The Belligerents, Card Houses, Tape/Off and Sleepwalks…AND some killer Tees to top it all off.

The Hangar is housed in ex-tyre factory in Brisbane’s inner west... a sweet venue for parties based around music and art… the perfect setting for a grungy t-shirt label to appeal to the mass youth and launch new “hangar” t-shirt design.

And whilst it was all about the fashion for BrisbaneThreads – a special mention must go out to The Belligerents who made their live debut at the event and absolutely killed it. An electro influenced pop-rock band featuring members of the Dexter Rose tribe... Is there anything these boys can’t do?

This post I’m not going to lecture you on why these tees and singlets are a must-have this Summer… Just check out the hot boys and girls in the photos and visit the website.

And finally a personal message hand delivered just for you…from the Dexter Rose boys:

"We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that came to support Dexter Rose, and the bands playing at the Hangar. Your presence made the night what it was! Stay tuned for more exciting surprises and collaborations. See you shortly people :-)"

Add that little something extra…

Sometimes a hot dress just isn’t enough. There is something to be said for the complete package…add 10-inch heels, a shiny gold bracelet, plump red lips and a fresh blow-wave and suddenly you feel like you’re the new Heidi Klum. This edition of BrisbaneThreads looks at how the Brissie locals are adding that little something extra to their styling.

Nice bangs love!

A good haircut and taking the time to style your hair before you go out can make the world of difference to your self-confidence. Your hair ultimately frames your face and can be the distinction between so-so and hot-hot-hot! So finding the right look for your face and finding a good stylist is essential! There are a few simple rules that will help make this process a bit easier…

1. Know your face shape…There are several websites and books that take you through this process. Hairboutique.com is a great place to start… http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1460.htm
2. Know your styles…Now you know your face shape you can identify hair styles that will work on you. Keep reading the above website as it will show you these looks.
3. Find a great stylist… Ask your friends, read website reviews for salons in your area and when you do make a choice make sure you communicate with the stylist and don’t be afraid to tell them exactly what you want or if you are unhappy. Chances are if you tell them they will be able to fix it!
4. Be confident! There is nothing more attractive than a girl or boy that is comfortable in their own skin. Embrace your new look and hold your head high!

All about the quirky detailing…

Ever been caught arriving at a function only to find someone is wearing the exact same outfit? Devastating to say the least. Make each outfit your own by embellishing the garment using badges, brooches, gems, scarves… anything you can get your hands on!

The idea is to create a unique look... And don’t be afraid to experiment! The great thing about pinning anything to your clothes is that you can take it off. Not only does it mean that if it looks terrible you can try something else… but it means you can get multiple looks from one garment!


GET THE LOOK: Try pinning multiple badges or an antique brooch to the lapel of your blazer. Or scrunch and pin a brightly coloured scarf to a simple black dress to create interest… Remember, the possibilities are endless!
