PORTRAIT SESSION

On the eve of my Sydney booklaunch for Women In This Town at Jac+ Jack, I’m happy to share with you my recent Portrait Session with the creative director and menswear designer himself, Patrick Blue. It was a true pleasure to talk to one of the brains behind the Australian label that is elevating fashion to a whole new level.

The bow tie

STREET STYLE GALLERY

I’ve never been a huge fan of the bow tie, or rather of the clip-on variety. Why not just learn how to tie one yourself? So earlier this year, I bit the bullet and attended my brother’s wedding in Canada determined to bare the bow. After countless hours of watching YouTube videos, I finally (almost) nailed it and I cannot express enough the satisfaction I got from it. The fact that it wasn’t perfect added that little bit of character and made it one of a kind, as the gents above demonstrate beautifully.

Ditch the clip-on!
