Lee and Me
Sometimes, when two different things meet and create, the most beautiful outcomes arise.
Nashi pears, Eurasions, those little shitsu/pomeranians - all obviously superior races.
This has happened to Lee and Me. Half cafe, half boutique, Lee, Ben (the 'Me') and their beautiful lady friends have birthed a superior child.
Mint Condition Records
It's a strange paradox when your nan has a better mobile than you do. While she surfs the net downloading tunes to her iPod - she is a true ‘silver surfer' - you rummage through her garage looking for old vinyl.
Old makes way for new right? And ironically, older items become more coveted with that exchange.
American Apparel Sydney
The eagle has landed, and it's wearing shiny pants. Last Friday, American Apparel opened its Sydney doors, unleashing layer upon layer of evocative cotton, lycra and hoodie.
American Apparel has built a reputation as the ultimate ‘no brand' brand. Quashing the traditional American logofied tee while subversively celebrating the traditional American trailer park.
Deus Ex Machina, Oxford Street
The original Deus in Camperdown has long been the ultimate male shopping-destination-come-café. Nothing evokes contemporary masculinity more than sipping on a latte surrounded by motorcycles, bicycles and leather. How appropriate then, that the team at Deus HQ have set up shop in the middle of Oxford Street.
St Augustine Academy
TwoThousand prides itself on bringing you the tried and tested. For this week's SHOP however, we've definitely tried, but leave further testing to you.
Last week St Augustine Academy opened in Surry Hills and, like candy-eyed children, we've been pressing our noses against the glass ever since trying to glean the shirts, belts, cardigans and ties within.
Bird Emporium
Perched on the corner of Marlborough and Cleveland Street in Surry Hills is Bird Emporium. The nesty spot is home to ‘Bird', an environmentally sound moniker for beautiful textiles that are created by designer Rachel Bending. What makes this bird so special is its painstakingly designed fabrics from Byron Bay, manufactured using solar power and hand-painted with water-based dyes.
Incu - New Store
When Incu's city store shut down two weeks ago, we fell to our knees, threw our arms to the heavens and pleaded to the goddess of style - who we imagine looks like Coco Chanel. "Oh lady C! Is this the end of Sydney fashion as we know it!?!"
"Noh!". She replied. "It is not you eeeddddiiooottzz, it'z a neeww store.
