Authority Clothing: Melbourne Streetart Apparel

Let me introduce Christopher Skyner, creator of Authority_clothing.

This hot independent clothing label is amazing.  

Authority Clothing

Melbourne’s lane ways are a must see whilst visiting, and not just because of the cute boutique stores and cafes serving the best coffee and elaborate breakfasts.

It’s because of the street art.

Graffiti or stencil work in large and small scale, we can finally stop saying I wish someone would print that on a tshirt.

Authority Clothing at pozible

A_c have set up a pledge for their label at pozible to produce their first ready to wear range of apparel. Yay!!

‘AUTHORITY_clothing has been approached by a fashion/film company called FRED HATES FASHION to participate in their runway fashion show at ‘Melbourne Fashion Week’ this September.

This is a MASSIVE opportunity for AUTHORITY_clothing.

Firstly, to expose our collaborating artist’s and our vision to the wider community. 

Secondly, this will give the AUTHORITY_clothing team the chance to meet and collaborate with some of the fashion industries most talented.

We need to produce a full range of up to 20 garments, to showcase throughout the show. We have everything in place to make this happen. The only thing we are missing is the funding. This is why we have created this campaign.’

‘AUTHORITY_clothing also works with national & international artists showcasing a variety of street art through limited edition apparel lines for men and women.’ (And they give full credit to the artists with a certificate stating who they are and where you can find the art!)

Who needs boys

When you have a mermaid tail.

image

The lovely Belinda from Nylon Smile makes fully swimmable mermaid tails…that you can actually swim in.

image

They come in three amazingly flash colours and two sizes to cover all ladies (and perhaps men too) who feel their water time is a little dull.

As a fellow sharkie I totally endorse this babes wares.

Sweet Sweet Sunday

There are only a few truly enjoyable ways to spend an entire Sunday alone. Get at least half of these down and it’s a guaranteed winner.

1. Get your catsuit on.

There is nothing more comfortable than a catsuit. Virtually seamless and disgustingly loungeable.

2. A super duper warm knit sweater

I really dont need to say anymore.
Nique Lost & Found knit

3. Chai tea – with lots of milk and sugar.

4. A trilogy of your favourite film. In todays instance a mid 80’s classic.

And finally

5. An early Daft Punk record.

No pictures, no quirky lines, nothing.
