champ fest

Wa-hey, Champ Press Creators Supplement showed up in my mailbox last night and isn't it delightful!



A lovely little thing printed on a beautiful old press, here in Melbourne, this journal is full of pictures and words from some of the most inspirational people creating around the world. Editors from Apartamento and Monocle (my two actual favourite bits of print), designers from Tokyo, Berlin and London, I'm excited to actually sit down and read it all.

You can buy the supplement, and Ala Champfest the magazine at a bunch of shops around Melbourne and the world, and online, have a look at the website for stockists.


I took these photos on my phone.

I like this print too. I don't know where it comes from or I would try to buy it, I found the picture in a folder of mine called 'space is the place', which is a fact. I would like the Nasa Hubble book that Zoe brought to my attention. I saw Hubble 3D at the Imax when my mother was visiting and it was so good I hyperventalated and almost spilled my giant coke. It was so good I'm going to go again.

I'll send you a postcard from space/the future, suckers.

yes, please

Han and I both love patterns, lately particularly those of a native and south american ilk, so I was super happy to see that the current wall on Supermarket Sarah is a collaboration with Patternity, an awesome London based studio specialising in pattern design and application. They have a fantastic blog filled with patterney pictures, and besides Supermarket Sarah, have collaborated with lots of other people to create crazy beautiful headpieces, prints, furniture and nail art.

Available at the moment on Supermarket Sarah are Patternity's own tights and canvas totes, as well as a whole bunch of fashion, art, and random vintage goodies collected from all over the place. Han I thought you might like this bag.

Sarah Bagner sells a whole range of awesome vintage and one off designer pieces on her website and at a stall in Portobello Markets. For the website she curates items by theme or colour and photographs them all on a wall of her house. It's a totally different style of online retailing and results in fun photographs of well thought out collections of things, just about all of which I now want to own.

A print I am especially eager for, which is still available from a past wall curated in collaboration with Fred Butler, in celebration of London Fashion Week. The artist made this the night Michael Jackson died, special. Want want want want.

I love Aztec prints. I bought a pretty dress by P.A.M which is part of the SS09 Secret Messages collection, they describe it as "Neo-geometrics". I can't find pictures on the internet but above is a t shirt fro the collection and an intense campaign image. Oh and a 'real' aztec print.

Mimco have a couple of pretty bags and necklaces in this vein also. I am head over heels in love with this little black number;

And here is a ridiculous poncho blanket thing for your dog, because we LOVE ridiculous outfits for your dog.
