Made to order













Olive & Finn is a new made to order label in Melbourne that I have just found, thanks to Emilia the model in their lookbook who just so happens to be the editor at Melbourne Street Fashion.com as well. All the Olive & Finn pieces are made to your measurements in your choice of colour and most pieces are around the $70 mark (or even less). How amazing is that? I especially love the oversized tank dress with fringe and the Gathered shoulder cardi. Looks like I have found a way to already spend my first pay cheque from my new job which starts today. It's really exciting how many new designers keep popping up, even during this "recession", its almost like there is even more creativity happening because of it.

  1. I agree! I think there is more and more creative talent emerging not just in Melbourne, Paris, or Tokyo, but ALL OVER the world right now, recession or not! I feel like the average person is much more fashionable even than they were 2 years ago. (Most people). I think if we get over this recession anytime soon, the styles will become even more intense and extreme..even for the mainstream.

    Which I'm ready for.

    I also really like this style, but a guys equivalent. For me, I like the interesting layering and shape, but I wouldn't want anything too flowy or feminine..but oversized and slouchy is totally cool for me. I can't find ANYTHING like this anywhere here. I HATE IT

  3. Oh I love it and I thought I've seen that model somewhere before! You posted a picture of her in one of the party photos!

    At first I thought it was Jane from Sea of Shoes (because she's doing that thing for urbane outfitters or something)
