Shooting for Nixi Killick was a pleasure as expected - I was given the creative reigns again for hair and makeup, and arrived to a bubbly Nixi and Denver hoarding treasure chests full of incredible accessories and garments. Augmented reality activated as is Nixi’s growing trademark, this capsule collection Lightning Sunrise features neon-electric mismatched animal prints with cutout panels in always-comfy silhouettes. I swear, something magical happens when you put on a NXK outfit - you can feel your inner spirit come alive. Thank you to the awesome Tai and Fil for being so fun to work with as well! I loved living out my technicolour cyberpunk goddess dreams.

Caitlin's workwear-inspired denim looks mix durability with decorative femininity, drawing on hazard-safe attributes like reflective tape and d-rings as protective elements. Her work comes at a time where women's safety in Melbourne is a major topic of discussion, but retains playfulness with metallic, ravewear-inspired styling.

TETRIK 3.0
In the realm of local small businesses and young upcoming labels, Tetrik stands out - boxy, structured silhouettes straight out of some darkwave nether-dimension, it's only a matter of time until the Melbourne label overruns the streets of Tokyo, Berlin and beyond.
I was thrilled to be asked back for my third time (!!!) to shoot with Tetrik, and if you ever have the good fortune to cross paths with one of their amazing core team Aidan, Kim or Bri, I promise you'll leave with a smile on your face.
With a background in creating fabric structures you may recognise from your last doof (check out Tetrik Structures), designer Aidan's winter offerings for Tetrik include warm, fleece lined fabrics, new patterns and prints with their signature purple accent, and a perfect, versatile array of layer-ready garments for our unpredictable midyear weather.
Combined with an emphasis on wearable, unisex designs, Tetrik's future-focused vibe is all the more appealing when you realise just how well each item has been crafted with top-quality fabrics and utterly precise construction.
