The eternally cool and super stylish Super Kawaii Mama is running the BEST competition this side of the 1960's.

Taking inspiration from the award winning TV drama Mad Men, SKM has put the call out for YOU to send her your very own Mad Men styled outfit.

Set in a Madison Avenue Advertising Agency in the 1960's, Mad Men encapsulated the style, social and political attitudes of the day. It's compulsory viewing, especially for vintage enthusiasts.

More information can be found here.

So get styling and send your photos or video to Super Kawaii Mama before May 4th. I'll show you some of my own submissions at a later date.

Music & Fashion Collide - Online Fashion Film Festival

The music and fashion industries are undeniably intertwined. Music is an integral part of your own personal style.

It influences us in both subtle and overt ways; from grunge as pioneered by the Seattle Sound and bands such as Pearl Jam and Nirvana in the 1990's, John Paul Gualtier colonial corsets (that launched underwear as outerwear) and costumes for Madonna in the 80's and Kylie in the noughties:

Right through to the ultimate cross over of musician-slash-fashion icon-slash-designer Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B.

As part of the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program, The Portable Film Festival, an international web-based film festival, based in Melbourne, Australia, are proud to present a week of fashion films at http://www.portablefilmfestival.com/.

Every day this week (from Monday 16th of March), they are premiering new fashion films; from documentaries featuring intimate portraits of the newest collections by leading Australian designers, to films which highlight other aspects of the industry and fashion filled music videos.

Today (Wednesday 18th March) is Look Like You Sound

Get lost in the fantasy of Portable’s Look Like You Sound Music Video Showcase where local and international musicians raid the wardrobe of rock stardom, not only playing the music, but more importantly, dressing the part. This features many local Australian acts and designers including Architecture in Helsinki, Gwendolynne Burkin, Romance was Born, Little Red and Empire of the Sun (pictured below).

Get the stories behind the stories direct from, directors, and designers who helped all of these amazing creations come to life and come to the screen.

Enjoy!
