Sirens

Photographer Babak has collaborated with so many wonderful artists to create amazing collections, but this one (in our minds) with stylist Amy Freudenberg is one of his best. Inspired by Sirens of Treasure Island, their updated story shifts from an old-fashioned shipwreck to car trouble.

Sirens

In Greek mythology, the sirens lured sailors to their death by singing mesmerizing songs that no man could resist. Babak and Amy Freudenberg's modern take did the same with a violin! We love that they kept one prop from the Sirens of Treasure Island -- a rope ladder!

Instead of a shipwreck, these deadly sirens pretend to run out of gas. We pity the men who help them!

Overture

Overture

Collection: Fall/Winter 2015
It was in the movement of life, the stirring of the world that Jordan Hone of Sydney's Sloans of Lane Cove found inspiration for the Overture collection.
"The way a symphony of individuals becomes one entity-and for each note they create, the movement and feeling lasts only an instant and then is gone forever. It is the essence of these fleeting moments that this collection aims to capture," says Hone.

With movement comes texture, and Overture has whisked Jordan into a new phase of experimentation. Renowned for her polished editorial work, which boasts clean lines, minimalism, and a sense of feminine glamour, Hone yearned to move into a darker space with Overture.

She was inspired, in part, by the Chanel F/W 14/15 show, specifically the use of varying textures across crimping, braiding, and natural hair finishes, which subtly inspired the intricate melding of textures throughout in Overture.

Evocation

Evocation

Collection: Fall/Winter 2015
In the making of Evocation, stylist Ari Koponen was inspired by different warrior types such as Joan of Arc-strong female characters with a sense of spirit.

The southern part of the Swedish west coast was selected as the ideal backdrop to highlight this earthy collection. Of course, everything was styled outdoors to give the collection a true nature spirit.

Oscuro

Oscuro

Collection: Fall/Winter 2015
Hair talent Dani Blakeley of Melbourne Australia's Yoshiko Hair, is the creative force behind Oscuro, which relates to all that is dark and mysterious.
Influenced by creative types who are exploring this concept, the collection is a nod to architect Daniel Widrig, who is exploring this concept with a new and completely diverse perspective.
The inspiration emerges from the idea that artists, who hail from a variety of different industries, are forming new tribes of people and developing new futures.
