Hi everyone,

Hooray, its Spring!
I'm super-excited about the return of sunshine to Melbourne, let me tell you!
It feels like its been a long, cold winter and finally I can sit outside on the back porch and enjoy some warm sunrays. Melbourne Spring Fashion Week has been and gone, so I can give you a little peek at the new collection, there's a new giveaway competition and I have a lovely photoshoot to show you too.



The Colour Collection
Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2011

Fashion week has wrapped up in Melbourne, but the bright colours and neon glows haven't faded yet. It looks like summer is going to be highly saturated with colour, and we haven't shied away from the brightly-hued trend here at Joolz.

The pretty necklaces pictured above adorned our impressive models (all from Diamond Valley Roller Derby Club) as they rollerskated their way into the hearts of the audience at Thread Den's final MSFW show on Sunday. The cheers, wolf-whistles and claps I could hear as the girls 'skated their stuff' certainly sounded good - it made for an exciting end to the catwalk shows on Sunday!


Local Heat 
Style Melbourne

I had the pleasure of working with a team of fabulous creatives for a Style Melbourne photoshoot showcasing the latest from some of Melbourne's hottest designers, which was published recently. Lyndel Yeo (35mm Fashion Photography), Frankie Endersbee (hair) and Phoebe Goulding (makeup) all worked together with my styling to make our model, Natalia from Vivien's, feature in an absolutely stunning shoot as I'm sure you will agree!

The team were both professional and fun - just what you want from a group of co-workers. And the location was divine - we got to play for the day in a gorgeous luxury highrise penthouse called Triptych at Southbank. Check it all out at Style Melbourne.



Subscriber Special
These adorable little owl earrings give you a little splash of colour plus a lot of cute.

Available for the next week only to you for the low subscriber-only price of $9.99 plus free postage (only while stocks last)






Subscriber Special
The Tropicana Forbidden Fruit necklace is made with hand-cut crystal cubes in multicolours.
This sparkling piece of loveliness is available to you for the low subscriber-only price of $159.99 (usually $175.00)





Win win win!
Its super-easy to enter our giveaway to win a classic pair of pearl & ebony earrings, teamed with the new nightowl drops pictured above, plus the winner will also score a fab dragonstone ring: simply leave us a comment on the Joolz Fanpage using the special competition word SPRING. The winner will be notified by email and announced on the Joolz Fanpage so keep an eye out and good luck!

First joolz competition for 2011

Joolz News 16072010

Whilst I’m shivering away at my desk in Melbourne writing this, England is enjoying the most glorious summer. I’ve just come back from over there, and believe me, it was very difficult to leave all that wonderful sunshine. However, things are busy in the Joolz office gearing up for Spring Fashion Week, which as a friend pointed out on the weekend, is less than seven weeks away! Lots to do before then!

I’ve got a few new items to show you, and a new competition too. For those of us who would like a new handbag (and who wouldn’t) I’ve got a survey for you. All those who participate will go into the draw to win a shiny brand-new JOOLZbag. Yes, I’ve been sketching, checking out different materials, and talking to handbag manufacturers - soon Joolz will be able to offer you handbags! Just click here to be taken to the survey page. Its five quick & easy questions, and if you wish to go into the draw, fill out your details in the final section of the survey.
I’ve been working with some great photographers as usual, and one shoot I did recently with Lucia Ondrusova features in the current edition of Fashion Journal. If you’d like a copy of the article, just ask, and I’ll forward you the pdf version.
The pearls in the most recent collection have been quite popular with photographers, and the picture below, from Mul Chandra, a student at RMIT, is one of my favourites. We teamed the opera-length strand of coloured pearls with one of my silver leaf hairclips.
Isn’t it a lovely photograph?
With my return to Melbourne and adjusting to this chilly weather, I’ve been inspired to make things with pretty little crystals. To avoid them feeling too icy, I’ve selected some in warm tones. We had some windy weather in Melbourne this week, so I created a swirly pair of earrings too.

Crystal Mix Necklace
Czech crystals in a variety of shapes and colours create some interesting contrasts in this necklace.
36cm long with 6cm extension chain.
Only one available.
$150.00

Citrine Crystal Earrings
I think these citrine-coloured crystal globes have a bit of a 70s vibe. I love these new earring hooks – this design means that you won’t lose one of your earrings whilst you are wearing them. $35.00

Swirled Earrings

These hollow reinforced glass spheres are both light and strong.
They are so pretty!

$35.00

Portugese Glass Ring

I noticed a lot of yellow whilst I was overseas, and I am really enjoying this sunny colour at the moment. I also have one of these in blue – there is only one ring in each (blue or yellow) available.

$35.00

Colour

Yellow $35.00 Blue $35.00

I hope you have remembered to complete our handbag survey to go into the draw to win one of the first ever JOOLZbags! I’m really looking forward to reading the results. I’ll be able to share the handbag collection with you very soon.
If you’d like to forward the survey on to your friends, I’d greatly appreciate it. (And yes, of course the handbag won’t be empty. I couldn’t possibly send off a prize without tucking in some extra goodies!)

Take care, and keep warm if you’re in the same hemisphere as me!

MSFW

Joolz is involved in three events for this year’s Spring Fashion Week in Melbourne.
Details for each one are listed below.

The Spirit of the Black Dress

Monday, 31 August
Time: 18:00 - 20:00
Location: Georges
Street: 162 Collins Street
The Opening Gala for the Spirit of the Black Dress Exhibition is a champagne evening to preview the work of emerging fashion talent. This event marks the start of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week and will bring together Australia's established fashion community to celebrate our diverse talent.

Fashion and textile designers were asked to submit their interpretation of a contemporary black dress, to be judged by a panel of industry experts. Ten successful applicants have been chosen to have their garments professionally photographed and displayed in Georges on Collins for the duration of the Festival. (Unfortunately I can’t give you a sneak peek at our dress, which I created in collaboration with the very talented Claire Djuve – but I can show you a headshot of our very glamorous Nina who modelled the dress for our submission shots) and thanks also to Monique Gow, MUA & Leila Morrissey, photographer for your fabulous work on the shoot.

To score your very own ticket to the Opening Gala you need to get in quick as numbers are strictly limited! Send your email requesting a ticket, including your contact details to register (at) thespiritoftheblackdress (dot) com (dot) au

Fashionising’s High Fashion, High Tea 09

Saturday, 05 September
Time: 15:00 - 17:00
Location: Silk Road
Street: 425 Collins Street
A fusion of an afternoon tea and a fashion event, High Fashion, High Tea 2009 will present Spring/Summer 2009 fashion from the likes of Nicola Finetti, Antonia Paris, Cyan Reign, Gwendolynne Burkin, Joolz, St. Augustine Academy, and Subfusco.

Miss Green’s Garden Party

Sunday, 06 September
Time: 12:30 - 16:00
Location: The Willows
Street: 462 St Kilda Road
Miss Green’s Garden Party is an eco-minded fashion event that will be held in the lush surrounds of The Willows.

The difference is they must be created using only eco-friendly materials.


The “For Sale” section this week showcases some brand new Joolz designs: two in sterling silver, and one Joolz Pandora bracelet. Please note: these are ‘trial’ designs, which means there are only three of each available at this stage to see how they go. If you like them, then we’ll go into production with them – so the decision rests entirely with my subscribers!

Leafy Love

Leaf pattern in sterling silver adjustable size ring.

$35.00

Silver Bubble Drops

Sterling silver balls on earring hooks.

$45.00

Joolz Pandora Bracelet

Pretty mixed foil glass and Tibetan silver bead bracelet.

Ahh, wouldn’t it be lovely to win a trip to Bali?
All the best for the rest of your week! I’ve been asked to supply some designs for an upcoming reality show in the US so that’s what I’ll be busy with. I’ll have more news about that to tell you next time :)
