Caravan

The stylish blog of laissezfaire recommends Caravan, describing as a floral, vintage, plus bohemian shoppe. The establishment grew out of owner, Emily Chalmers' passion for fashion and home. The sources of her style can be traced back to her childhood where she grew up surrounded by textiles as her mother was a seamstress. The website is beautifully nostalgic and is filled with knick-knacks and gems.

Michelle Jank graduated with a Diploma of Fashion Design in 1999 from East Sydney Tech. Her design portfolio includes fashion and jewellery and as well as styling. Her latest collection of jewellery can be viewed at Iqons.

Michelle Jank is the fashion wonder from Australia, who wowed the critics with her debuted collection in 2000, at the Australian Fashion Week. Known for her exquisitely embellished demi-couture, Michelle offers an array of reworked clothes that are sexy. For her Spring 2002 collection, she used antique fabrics reworked into finely fitted and finished dresses and tops with ragged jumbles of excess fabric draped and trailing in side bustles. She has worked in exotic silks and laces, faded miniature Australian flags, fragments of old flour bags and crocheted baby shawls, with zig-zagged hemlines trailing with long, shredded tendrils of lace and silk around the ankles.
