Over recent weeks bëuy’s Crest collection lookbook has been getting a bit of attention. Frankie, Studio Home and Lady Smaggle are all loving the Marie-Antoinette inspired shoot that we produced for the label. We’re totally chuffed with the results too and thought we’d share some behind the scenes pics from the day of the shoot.
Working on lookbook shoots is lots of fun but there’s a lot of planning and preparation that goes on before the big day. Luckily we had a super-awesome team onboard to pull the whole thing together, with stunning results. Major kudos to photographer, Alexandrena Parker; Stylist, Jam Baylon; makeup artist, Dana Leviston and hair stylist, Anna Pontonio. Also a major big thanks to the gorgeous Lyn Gardener who let us use her stunning home for the shoot.
Last night, the Tribe Katalyst team popped along to the opening of Edition X, a very exciting new concept store from Melanie Katsalidis, the design and business wonderwoman behind Pieces of Eight. The premise of Edition X is to offer exclusive commissioned, limited edition works with a focus on presenting the ‘affordable collectable’, ranging from jewellery, textiles and books to sculpture and works on paper.
One of the artists featured at the launch was our very own Taë Schmeisser. Her Trash & Treasure collection for Edition X continues her exploration of the urban landscape featuring her signature wheelie bin necklaces with a new twist in the form of flashes of neon colour. It’s also a little hint at what’s to come from her new label bëuy, which we are super excited to be launching very soon.
We had a fab time at the opening, munching on Edition X’s custom cupcakes and admiring the gorgeous work on display. If you haven’t already, we highly recommending checking out the Edition X showroom or online shop. It could be the perfect place to do some Christmas shopping, that is if you can avoid wanting it all for yourself!
DJ Decks Cuffs
Way back in October last year I met two lovely ladies by the names of Ali & Kirsty Hamson at the first Melbourne Finders Keepers market. Ali & Kirsty are better known as the sister duo behind Melbourne-based cufflink label, Cuff Off. When I met them they were just starting out with the business and were not at the stage of outsourcing communications or sales. Anyway luckily for us here at Tribe Katalyst, things are going so well with the label that they’ve called on us to help them out in both areas!
Keep your eyes peeled to their website as they regularly add new styles to their ever-expanding offering of classic and novelty cufflinks. And how cool are they?? Pictured here are two of my faves . . .
