[fadingblue]

I like Another Boy's latest season. Mjolk has some cool stuff too, and Thousand Reasons is really cool if you like Material Boy.

only got a few jacket pics on hand at the moment. The range i just developed was for college and the show is next week. I am hoping to do a shoot before then so I will post those pics or just pics from the show - whatever happens first.

[todesengel]

don't forget PAM. Their new prints are fucking awesome

lol @ some of the aforementioned labels

my votes go to claude maus & beat poet

nothing revolutionary, but nice clean cuts with interesting details

honourable mentions to mjolk (preppy look) and material boy (always interesting, if nothing else).. oh and some of the chronicles of never stuff is decent too.

props to hem & haw for putting out some very wearable and stylish pieces at an affordable pricepoint, even if the quality/finish leaves a little to be desired.

lets keep another boy, thousand reasons, pam and schwipe well away from this thread.

I never owned any but I remember a long time ago seeing some Tina Borg pieces in a shop in Perth and liking them a lot.

I think she was a fresh graduate or something maybe back then,so her style would have changed, but anyone know does she still produce her own collections or has she been sublimated into a larger design house? Her website hasn't changed in time and a half.

Right now definatly Mjolk, material boy/ another boy and hem and haw.

hem and haw is a kind of sister brand to Mjolk, they share designers...also heard they used to design for Nudie.

loosing love for Tsubi or ksubi...whatever they're calling themselves now.

[joey_formal]

eye am eye does some cool shit, chronicles of never does as well.

and for the NZ crowd stolen girlfriends club has some cool pieces as well.

[Louche]

I love the lookbooks by Marvin Scott Jarrett for Chronicles of Never, but I haven't had the chance yet to see/feel/wear the clothes yet. Does anybody know which qualities/fabrics they use? But then again, I guess their full clothing range will not be delivered until SS08.

PM me if you'd like to see the lookbooks.

haven't tried on hem & haws suits from this season, but they did look relatively nice on the hanger. i assume they fit on the slimmer side. the design wasn't too radical (which I think is a good thing for suits). made in new zealand and from 100% wool (from memory) - so there are two attributes that put it above and beyond many other suits in the price-bracket.

mjolk suits. nice cuts, nice materials, quality of construction is sub-par and the price is accordingly over the top (think $1000+).

seksu, thanks for the correction, appreciated.

i have a hem and haw jacket, very sleak and understated, it's fitted and relitivly slim.

Tryed on some of the Mjolk horse hair jackets earlyer this year, they were about £300, but they did go up to about £600 i think. their Cardigans are also awesome.

Is hem and haw owned by the guys from bobby's cuts off flinders lane? I think that's correct? I was chatting to him one day and I recall him saying it was his own label. the guy there used to manage the nudie store in little collins...

Yea i think so, Frederik and Thom, i know one of the guys used to design for Mjolk and the other managed Nudie. the whole idea was meant to be Mjolk Attention to detail, Cheap Monday price point.

I think it has potentual to become a real household brand.

Lol...well, no, it's not just that. But I'll gladly admit that the model in the S08 lookbook looks fiiiine! If she played her cards right, she'd might have a chance with me. At least on a Tuesday or Wednesday with little much on tv.
