Have You Heard of Ring Remodelling?

on 17th Apr 202417th Apr 2024 By editorsouthaustralianstyle

Adelaide’s premium jeweller, Gerard McCabe, talks us through how they’re bringing new life to old rings.

What’s involved in the remodelling of a ring?

It’s a very personal process and Gerard McCabe’s bespoke designer is with you every step of the way to help realise the best outcome for your ring. In your first meeting we will discuss your ideas, hopes and dreams for remodelling your ring, after which it is then safely entrusted to us to be assessed by our expert jewellers. We pay particular attention to checking any gemstones and their quality to ensure that a remodel will suit them in their current condition. Sometimes the stones may not be suitable for a remodel in which case we might need to consider a new design idea or source new stone replacements. Each remodelled piece is a testament to our standards of quality and exquisite design.

Is there any criteria a ring needs to meet to be considered for remodelling?

At the assessment stage, we especially check gemstones and whether they are in good condition, if they are natural and have value. Diamonds above .30ct are assessed and certified, as are larger coloured gemstones. This is to verify their properties and adds value to your piece.

How important is sustainability in the jewellery industry, and particularly for Gerard McCabe as it moves with the times?

We think good design and beautiful jewellery is truly timeless, and we believe jewellery is something to be enjoyed for a lifetime and beyond. Remodelling a ring is another way to breathe life into a gorgeous piece of jewellery that often has arrived to us with its own unique story. Much like when you update or renovate a home, you remodel a piece of jewellery with the future in mind. And this is what sustainability means to us – thinking of our future generations and the impact we have through our actions now.

Any interesting stories you can share of recent ring remodelling projects?

One of our most memorable remodels belonged to a client who had a ring that belonged to her recently passed mother that had been handed to her from her great, great grandmother. It featured a gorgeous blue sapphire, which we designed into a setting with the intention to pass down to the grandchildren.

5 Wedding Trends You’ll See in 2024

on 29th Jan 202429th Jan 2024 By editorsouthaustralianstyle

A wave of fresh ideas and styles is set to dominate couples’ big days. We chat to Adelaide’s event styling collective, The Stylist’s Guide, to find out the five wedding trends of 2024.

1. Vibrant Colours

Say farewell to traditional whites and pastels! The upcoming season is embracing a burst of colour, with vibrant purples, magentas, and fiery reds. From flower arrangements to table linens, couples are infusing their weddings with lively hues.

2. Sustainable Celebrations

Eco-conscious elements are finding their way into wedding plans. Couples are opting for electronic invitations, locally sourced florals, eco-friendly favours, and zero-waste catering, aligning their celebrations with environmentally conscious choices.

3. Patterns

Elevate your style by weaving patterns into invitations, stationery and table linens. Whether it’s floral, chic geometric designs, or bold retro patterns, this trend adds depth and personality to the celebration.

4. Micro Weddings

While grand weddings hold their allure, micro weddings with guest numbers typically 50 or fewer are gaining popularity. Smaller gatherings allow for intimate interactions, creating a more unique and memorable experience for both the couple and their guests.

5. Alternative Attire

Breaking away from tradition, couples are opting for modern and versatile attire. Bid farewell to plain coloured satin bridesmaid dresses and embrace the bold choices of colourful, patterned veils. From tailored suits to mini dresses, the wedding attire is undergoing a contemporary transformation.

Why This Rent-a-Rack Market Is Worth It

on 26th Jan 202423rd Jan 2024 By editorsouthaustralianstyle

Delicious food with a sprinkling of style was the recipe for success for Finnish-born Irene Kollanus, the owner of Prospect’s popular fashion-meets-food Mekko Market & Cafe.

Seeing a gap in the sustainable fashion market after relocating to Adelaide more than a decade ago, Irene knew the rent-a-rack concept, which launched in Finland in the ’80s, would work here.

“Textile waste has become one of the largest contributors to Australia’s waste problem,” Irene says. “I’m one of those people who love fashion and I had so many good quality clothes that no longer fit me, but I didn’t want to just give them away for free.”

Irene trialled her rent-a-rack idea in the thriving food and fashion precinct of Prospect and, to this today, still enjoys seeing the surprise on her customers’ faces.

“Many come for brunch not realising there is a market attached to the café, and they end up staying to shop after their meal,” she says.

While Mekko Market & Café’s food and drink offerings (think cauliflower with yoghurt and feta whip and cheeky Scandinavian cocktails) draws people in affordable designer brands at a fraction of the retail cost make them stay long after the last bite.

Some of the designer brands found at Mekko (meaning ‘dress’ in Finnish) include Aje, Camilla, P.E Nati on, Shona Joy, Zimmermann and Gorman, just to name a few. There’s also a selection of men’s clothing making its way onto the racks, with brands including Ralph Lauren and R.M.Williams.

“The clothes often sell at an average price between $10 and $40, which is why our market is so busy,” Irene says.

For brand new items, lucky shoppers can often score a phenomenal 70 percent off the original price. Using a specialised app from Finland, stallholders can update their prices and sales in real-time.

“[The app] is made purely for rent-a-rack markets,” Irene explains. “Stallholders can use the app to create their barcoded price tags and they can also follow their sales online in real-time, so they know exactly when it’s time to refill.” What’s more, an integrated map of the market allows stallholders to choose the exact location of the rack they wish to rent. Mekko also has a sister store, Monday Market, located in Norwood.

3 Engagement Ring Styles You’ll Love

on 22nd Jan 202422nd Jan 2024 By editorsouthaustralianstyle

Picking a ‘forever’ ring doesn’t have to take a lifetime. We called in the experts from Adelaide’s award-winning jeweller, Gerard McCabe, to find out about the engagement ring styles making the cut in 2024.

1. OVAL AND RADIANT CUT DIAMONDS

*Gerard McCabe Classic 1.01ct Round Ring, $28,995; Celeste 1.01ct Oval Ring, $21,995. (These styles can start from $3,995 with smaller diamonds.)*

The diamond, with its enduring hardness, is seen as a fitting metaphor for a lasting marriage, so it makes sense sparkly picks like this are popular at Gerard McCabe.

While the allure of the diamond engagement ring persists, Gerard McCabe’s Managing Director, Justin McCabe, says couples are now choosing oval and radiant cut (rectangular or square with trimmed corners) gems over traditional round diamonds.

“Round brilliant cuts would still be our most popular, but they’re no longer miles ahead of other cuts,” Justin says.

“I think couples are less bound to tradition and more so want to express their individuality. So, we see all sorts of fancy shaped diamonds growing year-on-year in popularity.”

2. VINTAGE

*Gerard McCabe Art Deco Emerald + Diamond Ring, circa 1930, $10,950.*

Vintage heirlooms remain popular picks for many couples, according to Gerard McCabe. They’re also selected due to its sustainability, as couples look to upcycle.

With distinctive charm characterised by intricate designs, often featuring precious gemstones, the allure of vintage engagement rings lies in the history.

“Vintage remains a strong trend with couples shopping our antique range to find one-of-a-kind designs,” Justin says.

The vintage display at Gerard McCabe’s Adelaide studios includes rings from the Art Deco era, many featuring gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires and rubies. A selection of Victorian jewellery, circa the 1800s, is also on display.

“Couples are drawn to the idea of wearing a symbol of love that has weathered the passage of time, creating a connection to the past while embarking on a new chapter together,” he says.

3. AUSTRALIAN GEMSTONES

*Gerard McCabe Eagle Pink and White Diamond Ring, $34,995.*

Contemporary engagement ring trends have experienced a shift towards alternative gemstones beyond traditional diamonds.

“There is a trend to other gemstones, particularly Australian gemstones like sapphires, pearls, and pink diamonds,” Justin says.

Australian pink diamonds from the Argyle mine have a distinct hue, ranging from delicate blush to intense magenta, is a particularly romantic pick for engagement rings.

“The rarity of these diamonds makes them highly sought after by couples well beyond the diamond’s aesthetic allure,” Justin says.

Then + Now: What To Wear To The Tennis

on 8th Jan 20248th Jan 2024 By editorsouthaustralianstyle

Heading to the Adelaide International this week? You’re probably looking forward to warm summer nights, world-class matches and, most importantly, tennis fashion! We serve up the looks and check out Adelaide’s history of courtside fashion.

WORDS: Grace Waye-Harris

Tennis has always been entwined with dress, and while it’s the players’ outfits (check out stylish Spanish player and the world’s number two Paula Badosa below!) that usually make the headlines, the culture of spectator fashion has evolved into an off-court spectacle.

Who can forget Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s iconic, albeit frosty, appearance in the royal box at Wimbledon in 2018. Meghan looked elegant in her striped Ralph Lauren shirt but committed the ultimate faux pas by bringing a straw hat. Smart dress is the only expectation for sitting in the royal box, but hats are discouraged because they can obstruct the view of those behind. The next year, Meghan left her hat at home.

While Adelaide International doesn’t have the sartorial protocols of Wimbledon, its history of spectator fashion is still laden with tradition, intrigue and status.

SA’s Sartorial Elite

In the summer of 1907, crowds flocked to Memorial Drive to watch the interstate lawn tennis finals. Adelaide’s elite hurried to secure their spot in the prestigious northern stand, which had become the place to be seen due to its favorable position out of the sun. Amongst them was leading socialite, Mrs. H. Rymill, whose “pretty” blue muslin gown with matching hat and velvet bows received a special mention in the Adelaide Chronicle. Her daughter, Miss Katherine Rymill, would also make a sartorial splash at the 1934 tournament by wearing a navy and white spotted blouse with a French straw beret.

Memorial Drive has also seen some major fashion fails. During the tournament of 1910, the weather was too cool for summer clothes but too warm for autumn attire. To compromise, ladies wore white summer dresses with the latest style winter hats. The social pages did not approve. The combination was condemned as inappropriate and “unbecoming”. An even more unusual trend, however, would occur in the 1920s when people favoured fur coats and tweeds.

Spectator Fashion: Then and Now

Thankfully, tweed suits and furs have given way to loose linens, polo shirts and chinos. Boater hats are evidently an enduring feature of tennis spectatorship – unless you’re in Wimbledon’s royal box, of course. While our modern styles are more about comfort than fashion, these items are still bound to ideas of tradition and social distinction because they signify a time when playing and watching tennis was the preserve of the leisure classes, like Mrs. Rymill.

So, when you don your linen blazers, summer dresses and straw hats for Adelaide International this week, you will be participating in Memorial Drive’s longest-standing tradition – the sport of spectator fashion.

Adelaide International is held from January 8–13 at The Drive (War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide)

The holiday season has seen the stores stock some of the best limited-edition skincare, make-up and fragrance gifts, including the Diptyque five mini candles set ($146). Summer is all about fresh-faced beauty, too. Try Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Glow Drops ($223), infused with antioxidants, for all-day dewy skin.

Honey-toned highlights and balayage are also trending and will add warmth to your summer glow.

The Luminaries

on 18th Dec 202318th Dec 2023 By editorsouthaustralianstyle

The fashionable faces of some of our most prominent local labels all have one thing in common – their enviable careers started at TAFE SA.

AMELIA YEEND: MUSEHAUS

Who is your customer?

As a designer and a brand, I align myself with those who embrace colour, eccentricity and individuality in fashion. Those who want to experiment with different silhouettes and enjoy wearable art – and want to stand out and make a statement with what they are wearing.

Who/what influences you?

I am greatly influenced by designers such as Annakiki, AREA, Vivienne Westwood and Kansai Yamamoto, and eras such as the glam rock and punk scene of the late ’70s and ’80s. Collage is an art medium I am inspired by and often [use] to develop ideas – Luca Mainini is my favourite collage artist. I draw a lot of inspiration from his work and his use of colour and composition.

Have you always been creative?

I always enjoyed and excelled in subjects like visual art and drama in school, and I was very creative at home too –either drawing, painting or collaging big visual boards with fashion cut outs from magazines. I always loved clothes, and everything changed for me once I learnt how to sew in high school. It quickly became my favourite creative medium, but I never considered that it could turn into a career until I met someone who had just begun studying the TAFE SA fashion course and raved about how much they enjoyed it! I immediately enrolled for mid-year entry, and the rest is history.

What did you learn in your TAFE SA course that you use in your everyday?

I now work full time as a Production Coordinator and Garment Technician, so I use the tech packing and CAD technical drawing skills. I also use all of the advanced sewing and pattern draping techniques [when creating] for [my label] MUSEHAUS.

CRISTINA TRIDENTE: COUTURE+LOVE+MADNESS

Who/what Influences you?

For collections, my primary influences are born from fabrics that I find and love. I design based on or from the fabric – I know some designers do the opposite and design silhouettes then choose fabrics, but generally I won’t buy a fabric unless I have some idea of what I’m going to make with it. I’m also influenced by everyday objects and nature; photographs and images are also important to me, as is architecture. I feel there really are a lot of similarities between the two disciplines.

Have you always been creative?

I have always been creative or creating in some capacity for as long as I can remember! I loved art classes and activities growing up and started making clothes for my Barbie dolls when I was five years old. I also started my own jewellery business when I was eight, which [I continued] for 10 years. The jewellery was sold in some of Adelaide’s top boutiques.

What did you learn in your TAFE SA course that you use in your everyday?

I use all of the basics and principles that I learned during my time at TAFE SA! All of the technical skills I learnt during my time at TAFE SA have created a strong foundation for me and for my business. I still have such a great relationship with many of the lecturers and still often reach out for advice. It was a great course and is still a great community.

What has been your career highlight so far?

At the risk of sounding corny, it really is working with my clients every day. I love doing what I do, it is a true privilege to do what you love. Working with celebrities on the red carpet is very exciting, but my everyday clients looking and feeling happy is what keeps me going forward and evolving.

ABBY POTTER: HOUSE OF CAMPBELL

Who is your customer?

She is a fashion aficionado who is not motivated by trends. Instead, she wants to embrace narrative driven fashion and to tell her own story, her way, through her key investment pieces. She is confident and daring. She dresses for herself, not the gaze of another person.

Describe your style.

I am very drawn to a particular kind of soft ness and playfulness – I love to bring some romance into my personal style. From there, I like to take that romantic aesthetic and contrast that softness against pieces that are still practical and not fussy. It is an approach that is quite unusual against a mainstream fashion backdrop and creates a sense of understated drama – I mean, who doesn’t want to make a statement?

What did you learn in your TAFE SA studies that you use in your everyday?

So many things! You gain a large and diverse range of skills and knowledge that are vital to everyday life in the fashion industry, but I would say understanding the fundamentals of the product development process was most essential.

What has been your career highlight so far?

I feel very grateful to have collected some beautiful memories since entering the industry, but debuting House of Campbell’s first collection on the runway at New York Fashion Week is definitely one I am still pinching myself over!

SCOTT FAULDER: JOURNEY BEYOND

Describe your style.

As a contemporary Australian men’s wear designer, my creative style is deeply rooted in the Australian landscape and I regularly draw inspiration from it. I gravitate towards the enduring quality of natural, rugged materials, such as leather, moleskin and denim – materials that have a history of longevity. I prefer clean lines with a minimalist utilitarian aesthetic that feels timeless.

Who/what influences you?

When it comes to fashion and a collection, influence can come from anywhere. But when it comes to my career it would be my father and my late mother. They are/were very bold and adventurous people in their own right; they challenged me but let me be me and grow into the person I am today.

What did you learn in your TAFE SA course that you use in your everyday?

I studied the Advanced Diploma Fashion Design and Technology and the Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design at TAFE SA. The skills I learnt enabled me to become the designer I am today. But it was the hands-on approach to fashion design that made me a good designer, to be able to understand the full effects that design decisions cause throughout the production and supply chain.

What has been your career highlight so far?

I have been fortunate to have a few! Designing the uniforms for Team Australia at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, UK, at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, and at the 2020 Summer Paralympic Games in Tokyo, as well as designing a special uniform for the MSQueen Elizabeth operated by Cunard Line.

GET THERE

TAFE SA’s fashion courses offer pathways into the industry or to a bachelor’s degree in partnership with Flinders University. Students learn and work in specialist design studios and workshops, which replicate the real world ensuring they are job ready when they graduate.

The courses are hands-on and focus on developing practical skills in pattern-making, digital design and garment construction, as well as learning about the business side of the fashion industry.

TAFE SA’s fashion courses include:

– Certificate III in Applied Fashion Design and Technology (MST30819)

– Diploma of Apparel, Fashion and Textiles (MST50122)

– Bachelor of Creative Arts (Fashion) delivered in partnership with Flinders University

Denim Iniquity Celebrates 40 Years of Style

on 6th Dec 20236th Dec 2023 By editorsouthaustralianstyle

Hyde Park fashion boutique Denim Iniquity marks four decades of making women feel as good as they look.

Denim Iniquity originally opened in 1983 to introduce high-end denim to Adelaide. Louise Hewitson, formerly Ellery, started working at the store during weekends and school holidays before eventually taking on the reins after her mother’s decision to sell.

Proudly stocking Australian labels such as Bassike and Camilla & Marc, Denim Iniquity also carry pieces from iconic supermodel Kate Moss’ label, Anine Bing and other international brands.

A blast from the past for Denim Iniquity’s leading ladies, mother-and-daughter duo Ros and Louise.

Staying ahead of seasonal trends and refusing rigid fashion norms, Denim Iniquity stocks everything from daily essentials to a range of accessories and shoes to complement every outfit.

To pay homage to the iconic boutique’s 40th birthday, we’ve picked the hottest fits from Denim Iniquity this season.
