Street smart

Streetwear brand Zanerobe has come a long way since its early days at trade fair Fashion Exposed. Execs Jonathan Yeo and Leith Testoni went all out for the brand's spring/summer 2009 collection launch at Sydney's Ivy Pool Club. The show opened with models abseiling down a poolside wall and ended with Marshall sashaying down the runway in matching jeans, shirt, tie and v-neck knit.

From Sweden with Love

Underwear of Sweden founder Helene Pilhage wasn't about to get her knickers in a knot at the unveiling of her spring/summer 2009 range. The bubbly Pilhage was seen mouthing a "five minutes!" curtain call to models standing on the balcony of Sydney's Cargo Bar before ducking backstage to finalise proceedings. MC and Miss World Australia Katie Richardson then introduced some lace encased models while DJ Mark Lines spun some tracks during and well after the runway show.

The Long Mile

Marnie Skillings and Elke Kramer were among some of the fashion identities spotted at 60th birthday celebrations for Adidas. A decidedly youthful looking crowd descended on Sydney's Sun Studio - which had been converted into an oversized home - to celebrate the big occasion with pizzas, live DJs and skating performances replacing hot tea and fresh scones.
