By Lola&Bailey

An homage to the late designer Alexander McQueen, Lola&Bailey designers Theresa Nguyen and Cheri Flewell-Smith, have created a tote bag especially for him titled ‘Long Live McQueen’.

Alexander McQueen known for his unconventional, Avante garde designs and shock tactics inspired and influenced celebrities, movie stars and fashion lovers the world over.

“McQueen was the most influential designer of the 21st century” – Theresa Nguyen

The letters are made of black-flocked material and appear on only one side of the tote. All totes are big enough to carry an A4 folder with room for more.

LONG LIVE MCQUEEN!

Studio 2017

Annual Winter Brooch Show

May 4th – June 6th

Lisa Peterson Brooch

For the third year running, Studio 20/17 will once again buck the notion that brooches are only for ‘old ladies’ and celebrate the brooch’s universal appeal.

“The wearing of jewellery has very ancient roots going back 75,000 years. Traditionally worn for ornament or utility, to convey messages of rank or wealth, or to follow superstitious custom or fashion, the brooch is making a contemporary comeback. It can be perhaps one of the most expressive forms of body adornment. From subtle and discreet tiny pins perched cheekily on the tip of a collar, to loud, bold, massive brooches, allowing full creative expression of both the wearer and maker, the contemporary brooch goes beyond the decorative and functional to convey a dialogue between the wearer and viewer”. Says Bridget Kennedy, co-owner of Studio 20/17.

Participating Artists Include:

Felicity Peters, Melinda Young, Anna Davern, Daehoon Kang, Joung-mee Do, Zoe Brand, Emma Fielden, Karen Thompson, Christian Hall, Lina Peterson, Natalia Milosz-Piekarska, Sean O’Connell, Karin Findeis, Karin Jaccobson, Emma Jane Donald, Vernon Bowden, Mark Vaarwerk, Carlier Makigawa, Michelle Miller, Margaret West, Zoe Jay Veness.

Travel Agent is dead competition shut down!

A  viral campaign for itrek Travel Insurance, entitled ‘The Travel Agent is Dead’ sparked so much publicity internationally and in Australia that it was abruptly shut down by enraged travel agents worldwide!  

Intent on letting the Australian public know that they can get the same if not better travel insurance policies at 50% less that Travel Agents itrek decided to run a competition inviting  budding filmmakers to create a 30second TVC entitled ‘The Travel Agent is Dead’.

A month later in a media frenzy the competition was shut down by Chartis.

Itrek will continue to look at interesting and innovative ways of getting the message across to the Australian public and have requested the help of Publissimo to do so.

“Without Publissimo, we wouldn’t have gotten the message out so quickly.  It was a pleasure working with them” says Eddie Feltham Director of itrek.
