Chapter VI: SS11/12 'Made in Dreams'

We're proud as as some kind of alcoholic fruit drink to announce the release of our SS11/12 collection - 'Made in Dreams'.

We've just uploaded the lookbook to our facebook page. Click here to unleash your eyes like wild dogs eating up all the pretty pixels.

Reflecting the optimism and excitement generated by the social changes of the early '70s; a time when Stevie Nicks was a waiflike child of the new era, wise beyond her years, and an up-and-coming music and style icon, 'Made In Dreams' embraces the free-spirited ethos that consumed the '60s and '70s and shaped the decades to come.

For SS11/12 we have tapped into the enthusiasm of this dreamer, but with a modern focus for today’s effortlessly stylish consumer.

Highlights include bustiers, pleat front shorts and playsuits in lightweight chambray denim, along with our signature cut jeans; most notably in the featured warpaint wash.

In our continuing search for the perfect denim, 'Made In Dreams' experiments with a range of premium fabrics. Printed chiffon and a contemporary use of lace, sits alongside jersey and linen to create a cohesive interpretation of what the iconic waif from a simpler time would wear in the modern day.

As always every Eleventh Commandment garment is 100% Made in Australia.

Adolescents

The video for 'Adolescents', the first single off Incubus's new album 'If Not Now, When?' premiered today.

Can not wait to wrap my ears around the whole album. Except that I have to. So I will, and therefore can. But that's neither here nor there.

Enjoy.

A short interview that was filmed at some stage in the recent past. Or the distant future. I'm not sure which one...

Sex drugs and raping of females

This is probably one of the most objective and insightful pieces of reporting that I have ever seen.



Damn I wish I was at Coachella.
