Lots happening in the prelude to the big week!
- The amazing Garance Dore talks fashion blogging with fellow blogger and journalist Patty Huntington (frockwriter.blogspot.com) at the presentation of her beautiful illustrations for the Westfields Winter launch that can be viewed at Bondi Junction and Doncaster Westfields. What a wonderful insight into the world of fashion blogging and her dedication of staying true to her blog and only posting on the shows and things she loves.
- The divine duo, Scott Schuman and Garance Dore have already posted on Sydney street style. Gorgeous as per! (garancedore.fr/en) & (thesartorialist.blogspot.com)
- Like a scene out of Shakespere’s As You Like It, the wonderful Marni Skillings had her off site Lady.Nimble.Shadow Spring/Summer 2010/11 show in the beautiful Botanical Gardens yesterday.
- Glamour is the word as Carla Zampatti opened her beautiful Woollahra home to launch her Spring/Summer 2010/11 collection. The elegant collection was accessorized by Michelle Jank’s unique headgear and elbow-length gloves. What a fashion icon for Australia, with over 45 years in the industry Carla Zampatti is going from strength to strength.

Janine Edwards Boutique Expands

Posted by Fifiluxe on April 22nd, 2010


We have recently expanded one of our flagship retail stores, Janine Edwards at Marina Mirage on the Gold Coast. The mini mecca has re-opened to rave reviews with fashionistas loving the new department style of the store, where you journey through enclaves and racks of labels showcased in every corner. An exciting development is the addition of the J Brand Gallery where the latest styles are piled high and displayed on a denim feature wall.

Janine Edwards boutique has been operating at Marina Mirage for over 20 years and the center is a must-visit shopping destination after it’s recent $20 million re-furbshment that was completed in January 2010. It has attracted high profile stores Mimco, Christensen Copenhagen and Little Joe by Gail Elliot to name a few, since it’s sleek new development.

Busy, busy, busy! In our head office this week…It’s so good to be amongst the bulging racks in the warehouse. We have shipped out the majority of the winter deliveries, now it’s time to finalise next season’s collections and make sure all the orders are in. Still a fair bit of selling to go, should finish by the end of Australian Fashion Week next month, then it all starts again for next season!
