Beyond Fashion Week
Edited by Ashe Mischief
There’s a certain amount of irony in the fact I edited this week’s Links a la Mode, as it’s New York Fashion Week– because it’s something I’ve never actually covered before. Style moves on– whether it’s fashion week or the holidays, or the worst day of your life, and for that, we’ve got a bit of coverage from NYFW, some great posts to challenge your mind and body, and a bit of eye candy to tide us over through the weekend.

Robyn Black – Fitzroy’s Best Kept Secret!
Tucked away in her sunny Fitzroy studio, Melbourne womenswear designer ROBYN BLACK works tirelessly creating impeccable + cutting edge collections.
New Zealand born and raised, Robyn Black moved to Australia in 1998 and it wasn’t long before Robyn began her eponymous label, ROBYN BLACK. Her work is coveted by many Melbourne women who have discovered her signature aesthetic and like myself, have instantly fallen in love!
The Robyn Black aesthetic has been described as being truly ‘Melbourne’ and I also have to agree. Her palette usually consists of blacks + pure whites as a backdrop to exquisite soft colours and textures, and she is most definitely ahead of her time.
Currently, the Robyn Black label is sold exclusively @ The Signet Bureau boutique, 165 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy 3065 {+61 39415 7470} Australia.
I will be featuring an interview with her in our upcoming issue of TFB, (out 1st October), so stay tuned

THE IMMORALIST Transforms Firetrap’s Denim with Ziad Ghanem’s MAIDEN BRITAIN
In Campaigns, London Fashion Week, events, fashion on September 9, 2009 at 2:36 am
ZIAD GHANEM & MAIDEN BRITAIN collaboration with FIRETRAP presents THE IMMORALIST …
FIRETRAP’s brand of London-ism reflects the capital’s street culture and distinct eclectic sense of style and is reflected in their desire to collaborate with an established London based independent designer to create a capsule collection scheduled to be shown as part of September’s LONDON FASHION WEEK. 
Their choice: avant garde cult couturier ZIAD GHANEM was invited to collaborate with them with his Ready To Wear line, MAIDEN BRITAIN for Spring/Summer 2010.
Entitled THE IMMORALIST (after Gide’s novel), Ziad Ghanem brings into the mix his recycle/redesign aesthetic to Firetrap’s denim line in order to create a capsule range of 7 pieces … transforming denim ito distinctively individual pieces, yet remaining true to Firetrap’s collection + feel.
THE IMMORALIST will be unveiled as part of Vauxhall Fashion Scout at September’s London Fashion Week. The 7 pieces will then go on to be exhibited within the fantastic City Hall before going under auction in support of MAYOR’s FUND FOR LONDON. This charity was set up earlier this year to improve opportunities + aspirations of disadvantaged children and young people in London – nearly half of which are living in poverty. Both Firetrap + Ziad Ghanem felt that it made sense to show their support by becoming involved and encouraging others to do the same. They hope to not only provide financial support to the Fund, but they also wish to inspire young people across London.
If you’re also interested in supporting the MAYOR’s FUND FOR LONDON by donations for the charity, you can get more information @ http://mayorsfundforlondon.org.uk.

Grande Dame of Punk Nabs Toyboy + Playboy for A/W Campaign
In Campaigns on September 8, 2009 at 6:55 am
QUEEN VIV causes a bit of a stir with her Gold Label campaign which includes Pamela + her husband, Andreas Kronthaler.
The Daily Mail’s Eleanor Glover states: “Dressed in a series of capes and trademark tartan the unlikely trio frolic around amongst a collection of handbags, and one photograph sees Mr Westwood dragging a scantily-clad Pammie along the ground by a swathe of satin, while his tangerine-haired wife looks on in disapproval.”
Tis not the first time that Pammie has worked with Westwood. Last season Anderson made headlines as she sashayed down the London + Milan catwalk, appearring in her Spring/Summer campaign …

In Copenhagen Fashion Week, fashion, womenswear on September 4, 2009 at 7:13 am
Bibi Ghost presents her 4th collection @ Copenhagen Fashion Week. With it’s delicately gothic flavour, this range was shown in a garden behind Carl Jacobsens villa …
The SS10 collection, titled ”The Secret Garden” – is an enchanted place, hidden beneath the surface of the city where good meets evil and where the line between reality and fantasy and magical is blurred forever.
The stark military aesthetic references the restricted life @ the Russian court, contrasting with soft organic dream-like feel of the sleek materials used, which possess a lustrous, glossy surface which is accompanied by fabrics with a matte finish.
