Monday, August 15th, 2011

Melbourne Cycle Chic has a Featured Fashion section where designers are invited to collaborate with the Melbourne Cycle Chic project and are set the challenge of creating pieces that work well on a bike, use sustainably sourced fabrics and of course look chic!

The most recent Featured Fashion collaboration is with A Name Is A Label. The concept behind the dresses is ‘stage wear for the streets’. The dresses use a combination of textiles, juxtaposing different textures, patterns and colours. All the fabrics are re-used, either because they were discarded or excess.

Stop Honking

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Yes I know you’re behind me. Yes I know that you’re really anxious to get to the shops/work/home as soon as possible.

But hey the government decided to build a road which can only fit the width of a single car with no bike lane, so I’m gonna have to ride in front of you. And my little legs can’t keep up with the power of your engine.

So please, stop honking. Unless you’re just giving me a friendly hello tootle.

Korean Cycle Chic

Friday, November 26th, 2010

We have a bit of a thing of Korean film stars. In fact, we once sat through a very long and boring mockumentary called The Actresses just because it featured five beautiful Korean actresses.

So we love the look book for Korean label Mind bridge, featuring Korean actors Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung. Yes to preppy slim-cut blazers and cropped chinos!
