Chronicles Of Never – Sample Sale (Brisbane)

J.S. Roberts – Bespoke Footwear & Leathergoods

James Samuel Roberts uses all leather materials for the uppers, linings, heels, soles and stiffeners in his shoes. He hand sews the uppers to the soles using traditional techniques and dyes his own leather. With a six month wait and a $500 minimum the pictures below show why this Melbourne based bespoke service is so sought after.

Phuong & Seb’s Belt Co. – Handmade Belting

Phuong & Seb’s Belt Company was established in early 2010 by two designers called Phuong and Seb. The drought of well made, plain belts for men and women was the main impetus for the creation of the label. They felt that the gap between cheap $50 belts and super-brand expensive $500 belts was too large. After finishing design school at RMIT the pair decided to focus on their penchant for quality handmade craftsmanship.

The range includes double buckle belts and leather suspenders, which offers a more exciting option than the standard belt.

Choosing the right hide is imperative. Both the right colour and the tonal variations in the natural leather all come into play. The designers knew the width of the belt they wanted, so they needed to choose buckles that suited. Saddlery buckles were chosen as they're practical, simple, and do not overpower. Both of the designers find it important that they both have input along the whole process, including making them all by hand themselves.

The two designers have enjoyed a great response thus far and hope to expand their range in the future whilst retaining their own unique hand-made quality.

Arj Selvam (Runway) – Spring/Summer 2010/11 @ Style Aid

STYLEAID is a global fashion event originating on the West Coast of the US nineteen years ago and making its Australian debut three years later in Melbourne.

STYLEAID has become Perth’s opportunity to join the worldwide force of fashion fund-raisers fighting HIV and AIDS. Initially the event was conceived in the hope of raising funds to assist with the education, prevention, care, support aims and the objectives of the West Australian AIDS Council but has since evolved to become one of the biggest events on Perth’s social calendar.
