triple j music specials: Nick Cave J-File
triple j music specials: Nick Cave J-File
Nick Cave, a native of Victoria, Australia, and his band The Bad Seeds are my favourite musical outfit. Non-commercial radio station Triple J, music presenter Richard Kingsmill and artist Nick Cave are all legendry in my homeland. You can listen online to Kingsmill’s special presentation on the career of Cave and his bandmates. He may well be the only person ever to use the phrase ‘by the power vested in me’ during an awards acceptance speech.

The weave
The pieces designed by Rodarte, though well out of my budget, have much influence on my wardrobe. A skirt such as the one available at Opening Ceremony is one my mind. Impossible to replicate, I should think.

The loose and graphic
The two best peices in my opinion in Alexander McQueen’s collection for Target. I’m usually far more intested in the Target designer collections than I am in this one, Jovovitch-Hawk’s, Jonathan Saunders’ and Stella McCartney’s for Target Australia, were standouts I found. Were I in the market for a new print dress I would seriously consider this one. I love the colours and they would be flattering on my pale complexion and with my chesnut hair, and it would be just as suitable as a summer dress as it would be in winter with stockings, boots and jacket.

The anti-mandarin collar
I’m very much liking the blouson sleeves and mandarin collar on this light, silk blouse (Chloé). A mandarin collar I think can look mannish on me but the sleeves and general prettiness would counter-act the effect and elongate the neck in a way a high collar never could.
