Heritage eyewear brand MOSCOT recently hosted their first Australian edition of MOSCOT Music at a private rooftop in Bondi Beach. The event featured Palassi Kailis and Tom Derickx, popularly known as The Kayex, who delighted guests with their unique blend of electronic and live instrumentation. MOSCOT Music was first introduced in 2004 by Harvey Moscot, the fourth generation of MOSCOT’s founding family, when he picked up his guitar and started playing at the Orchard Street shop in New York on a rainy Saturday. The event was an instant hit, and ever since then, MOSCOT has been blending music and eyewear to connect fans worldwide. MOSCOT’s Australia Brand Manager, Julien Fritz, explained the connection between music and eyewear, saying that both offer a window to the soul and a unique experience for every individual. The Kayex, who won the Triple J Unearthed new music competition in 2018, are known for their distinctive style that resonates with today’s pop music culture. After a career in professional football, frontman Tom Derickx found music to be his anchor to re-center himself and speak from the heart again. The MOSCOT Music event was attended by several notable personalities, including French creative director Aurélie Pinar, DJ Clay Western, fashion stylist Thomas Townsend, Kult model Mana Mackay, and make-up artist Sean Brady. Against the backdrop of the majestic Sydney harbour, guests enjoyed the cult-electro sounds of The Kayex while sipping Grifter Brewing Co’s signature pale ale.

The iconic Harry Siedler-designed office tower served as the perfect backdrop for the presentation, leaving Hershan feeling privileged to present his collection on schedule for the first time. Hershan, who trained at RMIT and previously worked as a design director at Alfred Dunhill in London and R.M. Williams, is renowned for his keen attention to detail and draws inspiration from architecture, air travel of the 60s and 70s, and cinema. His latest collection builds upon the brand’s philosophy of Enduring Goods and presents an elevated take on everyday utility – clothing designed to be worn for life in transit. Taking inspiration from celebrity travel and the Cannes red carpet of the 70s and 80s, Hershan’s unisex collection blends elements of athletic wear, military, workwear, and tailoring to create a carefree fusion that feels both effortless and timeless. The new-generation label’s signature Utility Toe bag, which launched in 2020 and is stocked by luxury e-commerce giants Matchesfashion, Mytheresa, and Ssense, has already earned cult status. For the Spring Summer 2024 collection, Hershan partnered with Kult Australia to cast a procession of unique characters, including Rhys Kosakowski, Rachel Rutt, Taara McLean, Louis Steele, and Fraser Johns, who embody the carefree and irreverent HAULIER spirit.

Diamonds, but not like you know them: we speak to Moi Moi in Melbourne

Diamon finger woman

As the world becomes more conscious about the impact we have on our planet, many are seeking ethical and sustainable alternatives to traditionally sourced products, including diamonds. That’s why lab-grown diamonds have become increasingly popular among consumers who want the beauty and durability of a diamond without the negative environmental and social costs associated with mined diamonds. Some hardcore diamond enthusiasts may still have reservations about lab-grown diamonds. They may believe that they are somehow inferior to mined diamonds, but the truth is, they are virtually identical in every way. Both are made of carbon, and lab-grown diamonds are created under controlled conditions that replicate the natural process that occurs deep within the earth. We spoke to Lauren Chang Sommer, the founder and managing director or Moi Moi, who said, “One of my favourite things about them is that they come at a fraction of the price of mined gems which makes it possible for our customers to purchase their dream jewellery and afford bigger stones. LAVANA Lab Grown diamonds are ethical and socially responsible and come with a guaranteed source of origin, promising that brilliant jewels don’t need to cost the earth.” In fact, lab-grown diamonds are so similar to mined diamonds that in 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled that a diamond is a diamond no matter where it comes from. This means that lab-grown diamonds can be graded, certified, and sold in the same way as mined diamonds. At Moi Moi, they offer LAVANA lab-grown diamonds and SUPERNOVA Moissanite, which is… Read More

Informed by her evolving sense of self, as well as Daoism and Ch’an (Zen) Buddhism philosophies, Lee’s diverse works have garnered international recognition for translating and transmuting deeply personal experiences into the universal.

7 ways to get ready for summer – and the tools you need to do it

Man holding his hair

Summer is here, and with it comes endless opportunities for outdoor activities, beach days, and fun in the sun. So, it’s time to ditch the cozy winter clothes and start grooming yourself for the warmer months. Here are some of the best ways to get summer-ready and enjoy the season in style. In the summer, dehydration is a constant threat. The heat can cause you to lose more fluids than usual, so it’s essential to drink plenty of water. Drinking water will not only keep you hydrated, but it will also help keep your skin looking fresh and healthy. This dentist who does quality periodontics in Greeneville also adds that water is also beneficial for your dental health as it helps in neutralising the acid in your mouth. Haircuts are an easy and effective way to refresh your entire look. Consider getting a shorter, more manageable hairstyle that will help you stay cool during the summer. Trim your beard and mustache to keep them looking maintained and neat. It’s Mother’s Day in Australia soon, too, so if you’re getting something for yourself, get something for her, too! Shaver Shop Australia has it all. Summer means spending more time outdoors, which also means more exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays. So, it’s crucial to protect your skin by wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Look for a non-greasy formula that won’t clog your pores or leave a messy residue. Hot temperatures and too much sun can leave your skin dry and flaky…. Read More
