If you thought molecular science and edgy fashion had nothing in common, pull on that lab coat and get back to school. The new collection from East Sydney TAFE graduate Dion Lee draws inspiration from mitosis, the so-hot-right-now process of cell division. Lee's creations peel, layer and divide to form cell-like constructions around the body.

Blah Blah Blah Denim. Yawn! Not another denim label....? Right? Well, actually, this one is a stayer.
See, Maise has been lovingly created by ex-TopShop designer and Sydney chick Claire Greaves. Here's why that's a good thing. Firstly, she has a great design pedigree (come on, love it or hate it, TopShop rules the UK High Street).
We love markets with the best of them. In fact, a large part of our weekend is spent trawling Rozelle, Paddington, Bondi and Glebe, distractedly looking at the same stalls and being overwhelmed by the smell of sugared peanuts.
And then it happened. A cool, dark den of market was born, giving us not only new hope, but new clothes.

Trying to imagine Crown Street without Dobry Den is like trying to imagine Gaslight without dirty kids and beer, or Kawa without coffee-swilling flannies. The boutique is part of the streetscape, it borders on an institution. It's hard to believe that the shop is just scratching one year.
Places like Dobry are special.
Once upon a time in the Northern Territory, a curly-haired boy and a leggy lady linked arms and creative endeavour. Together they trekked south easterly - dropping by Brisbane for an education, stopping to take in the sites of Sydney, and finally landing in Melbourne town. Today they feed the creative industry of all three cities with the fashionable flair that is Limedrop.
How awesome did it feel to get that insane obscure T-shirt by a drugged-out Brooklyn design duo of gay twins that no one had ever heard of? And how much does it suck now that every head at the Surry Hills Market is rocking the same thing? What about that fly overall print hoodie you special-ordered from Japan.
