From Phoebe Philo’s first Australasian stockist to an unmissable exhibition to a notable new collaboration — this is everything that has our attention this week.
Phoebe Philo’s ever-covetable eponymous label is now available in Australia, exclusively stocked at Parlour X. Renowned for her minimalist yet sophisticated designs, Philo’s return to fashion has captivated style enthusiasts worldwide, and this exclusive launch offers a curated selection of her timeless pieces — that blend clean lines and luxury craftsmanship — down under, adding to Parlour X’s omnipresent allure as one of Australia’s premier design destinations.
Unveiled at Moncler’s City of Genius show in Shanghai, Mercedes-Benz and Moncler’s latest collaborative Project G-Class is inspired by KENZO creative director NIGO. A restored 1990s G-Class becomes an automotive art piece, featuring a signature Moncler puffer jacket-covered convertible top, bespoke boom boxes, and a checkered interior. The collaboration sparks two more projects: a limited-edition G-Class model available for purchase, and a gender-neutral fashion collection designed with NIGO.
BAYA’s latest collection beautifully blends thoughtful, contemporary design with heritage craftsmanship to offer a considered edit of floor rugs, throws, and cushions that elevate the experience of home. Highlighting refined textures and sustainable materials, the collection is centred around luxurious wool rugs — from the velvet-finished Haywood to the curly bouclé Dorset, with designs for both indoor and outdoor spaces. With timeless, neutral tones and versatile shapes, these pieces bring both elegance and comfort to the home. Certified by GoodWeave, BAYA continues its commitment to ethical practices and sustainability, while offering stylish, high-quality furnishings that enhance contemporary living.
Perpetual showcases new paintings by Shintaro and Yoshiko Nakahara, exploring time through the motif of waves. Running from October 15th — November 10th at Sanderson, the exhibition reflects the artists’ unique collaborative process, blending distinct strokes and colours to create unified compositions. Their works evoke a sense of deep time, capturing the fluidity of nature and the complexity of the universe, while drawing parallels to their shared experience as horologists.
The spookiest night of the year is just around the corner (next Thursday, for those not keeping close tabs) which makes this weekend your last change to source (or make) the perfect costume. If you, like us, have left it last minute, and the kids’ excitement is reaching fever pitch, make for the tried and true Look Sharp costume department and grab a mini broomstick and cauldron. Or, if inspiration hits, head for the arts and crafts aisle instead, and whip up something a little more special. Either way, the time is nigh. And if you need some inspiration for yourself, we’ve got you covered.
