Valentines Noir

Being the cynical bunch that we are, the team here at MoM HQ are all quite immune to the notions of romance and love. With Valentines Day less than two weeks away we were just beginning to brace ourselves for the usual bombardment of tacky teddy bears, melty chocolates and wilty roses until we heard about Valentines Noir at SO:ME market.

Hosted by contemporary jewellery space Stone Glint and Bone, Valentines Noir is a series of capsule jewellery collections all based around the theme of ‘Til Death Do Us Part’ – featuring thorns, arrows, daggers, broken hearts and bones, Valentines Noir may be the perfect antidote to all that cheesy romance shtick.

Valentines Noir shrouds the SO:ME Space for ten days only and kicked off with a sinful soiree last Saturday 4th February. There were drinks, black roses, thorns, barbs and black bones. A combination of black and blood red blooms will adorn SO:ME Space for the duration of the event – and Stone Glint and Bone have promised us that anyone who makes a purchase will be gifted with wicked black heart chocolates.

The perfect mix of mortality and love, Valentines Noir is a polarity of tradition that’s not for the faint at heart. Do teddy bears and love hearts make you a little queasy, too? Join SO:ME Space and Stone, Glint and Bone in some anti-cuddly fun.

Leonard Street AW12

janey — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:06:50 +0000

We here at MoM have always loved the collections from Leonard Street and were absolutely thrilled when we were offered a sneak peek at the new range for Autumn/Winter.

Designer Amanda McCarthy has really outdone herself this season; incorporating a bold colour palette of cadmium, teal, orange, duck-egg blue and emerald green, all of which contrast perfectly with more traditional, subdued winter colours.

Leonard St. is well known for unique, original prints and beautifully eclectic collections, and AW12 does not disappoint. Amanda has designed a collection with clean lines and plenty of opportunity to embrace winter layering, with cropped jackets and three-quarter length skirts, alongside tonal, oversized knits. High waisted and wide leg pants, Chanel-esque boucle jackets and angled hems create a richly textured, interesting winter look.

A particularly special part of the collection is a collaboration with graphic designer Melissa Depasquale that resulted in the elaborate digital Forest print that depicts endangered Australian flora and fauna. Dark and intriguing in a classic, illustrative story book style, it is a truly unique print.

Another, equally striking digital print is the honey-toned, soft Feather print, which features in a 70s inspired simple tunic dress and bell sleeve top. Staying with the bird theme, Amanda has channeled her grandmother in the 1950s and created a graphic navy, white, red and beige print of flying and wheeling birds that is both boldly modern and classically nostalgic.

Not to disappoint the fans of her graphic two-tone prints, Amanda has created the Apples print in a fabulous grass green as statement jeans, shirt and mini skirt; Lips in classic beige and red and revisited her Starry Night print from last season, simplifying the design and updating the colours.

Wood stacked high-heeled boots and bright blue suede ankle boots feature in the Leonard St. AW12 footwear collection, alongside sumptuous tan leather buckled flat boots that are good enough to wear every day. Soft, buttery leather fold-over satchels and woven detail bags finish the look.

A timeless and feminine collection, Leonard St. will be available in store and online in early 2012.
