North Bondi Italian
As well as being an excellent Italian restaurant, North Bondi Italian is also an exercise in branding that fits (be it a little too snugly) into the Bondi lifestyle. From their business cards, to their target rock'n'roll badges, to the staff clad in denim overalls this restaurant is about image.
Don't get us wrong, TwoThousand is not against branding as long as it is done well, but if you come to North Bondi Italian expecting traditional Italian you are only likely to find that in the cuisine.
Fifty
Not many people get to celebrate their 50th birthday by publishing a glossy coffee table book, but then the creator of Italian fashion empire DIESEL isn’t your average guy.
Proving all fashion designers are self-absorbed egotists, FIFTY is a homage to the life and times of Renzo Rosso and the mega brand he’s created.
T - The Journal of T-Shirt Culture
It’s like SNEAKERFREAKER for your chest. Even if your T-shirt obsession doesn’t rival that of the Threadless gang, the first issue of T – THE JOURNAL OF T-SHIRT CULTURE is an infectious archive of tee industry obsessives from Melbourne to LA.
Mixing old boys Paul Frank and Stussy, with local kids Nique and Schwipe, and online players Threadless and Monday to Friday; the niche publication positions the common T-shirt as a modern canvas of printed, stencilled, graphic and hand-drawn art.
Into the Nature - of Creatures and Wilderness
Its title sounds like a bad translation, but don’t judge INTO THE NATURE – OF CREATURES AND WILDERNESS by its cover, judge it for the depth of the images within.
A visual study into the natural world, skip the preface and journey straight into pages thick with illustrations, sketches, photography and prints that burst with life and colour.
Uchi
Rumour has it that way back in the 1980's Uchi Lounge served as a one stop shop for Japanese business men wanting to indulge in the delights of Sydney while maintaining the culinary comforts of home. High-class ladies of leisure dripped in Dior made conversation, and afterwards did some dark deals to a Coltrane soundtrack.
The Brilliance
There’s no shortage of ethos options being slammed in all directions at any given moment. Let alone the hounds of ‘culcha’ who are only too happy to advise that you obey your thirst, or think different , or just do it. You can go the Kleindestine culture-jam option or you can filter out what inspires.
