Anna Calvi

Establishing a name for herself making covers of TV on the Radio, Bowie and Leonard Cohen, then posting them on Youtube, this English-Italian songstress is definitely one to watch. With her model looks and notoriously intense on-stage presence, the virtuoso guitarist has been styled by Frida Giannini, Gucci’s creative director, as well as photographed by fan, Karl Lagerfeld. If you’ve been lucky enough to nab a Laneway ticket for 2012, you’ll witness why Brian Eno’s called her ‘the greatest thing since Patti Smith’.

Léa Seydoux

If you’ve already caught Woody Allen’s latest, Midnight in Paris, you would’ve had a hard time forgetting the brief yet mesmerizing scenes featuring Léa Seydoux. Previously acting in films within her mother country, the French actress seems to all of a sudden gained recognition on the international circuits, nabbing a 2012 Prada Campaign, alongside a role in the latest Mission Impossible film. Check her out in the video for Prada’s latest fragrance, Candy.

Burning Man

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:01:06 +0000

Already relieving acclaim from Australian film critics and the international film festival circuit alike, Jonathon Teplitzky’s latest film, Burning Man, seems set to go down in Australian film history. The complex time-jumping structure of his direction eventuates in the telling of Tom (Matthew Goode)’s story, a chef at a chic Sydney restaurant. Piecing together the fragmented editing, we see Tom endure a life-altering tragedy in toe with all its ramifications, accumulating up on itself at each turn to end in a fulfilling and extremely moving experience. Certainly recommended, but not a viewing for the faint-hearted.

Burning Man hits independent cinemas on November 17.

Higher Planes Sound Book

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:57:05 +0000

Ever found the prospect of meditation a little intimidating? Well a collaborative project between Siberia and New Planes has just resulted in a solution. A meditative cassette tape with dual sides symbolic of Ying and Yang, the Higher Planes Sound Book is an ambient soundscape. As 15 tracks melt in and out of each other with influences of tribal chimes, drones, and field recordings, the meditative results come easily – with the music acting to stabilize breathing and empty active thinking. It’s only $5, but with a limited release of only 300 editions, you’d better be quick.

Alain de Botton talk @ Sydney Opera House

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:51:07 +0000

One of the world’s most famous contemporary philosophers is visiting Sydney. In the past, Alain de Botton’s essay-style books have unravelled love, travel, architecture and literature. Now he brings his distinctive style to the subject of religion. And not least, he asks what it offers non-believers. Disagreeing within the shunning of religion absolutely, he considers how atheists can reform a use or even appreciation of, what can be consoling and beautiful rituals and concepts. In his talk at Sydney Opera House, Religion for Atheists De Botton will fashion an interesting and, he hopes, helpful alternative.

The Dock, Redfern

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:47:15 +0000

Did you ever hear of the Beer Baron? An anonymous speak-easy on wheels that would home-deliver alcohol once the bottle stores shut up? Well the Baron was eventually found out, and has since opted for a more legitimate way to deliver beverages to the people – a bar. Located in Redfern, this rough-around-the-edges haunt is sure to get heaving over summer, with wine and beer at unpretentious prices, served up with free popcorn to boot.

Carine Roitfeld, ‘Irreverant’

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:43:58 +0000

Following her resignation as editor-in-chief of French Vogue, the fashion world waited with baited breath as to what Carine Roitfeld would do next. And the result has been delivered – in the form of a 368-page retrospective, a photographic memoir of her past 30 years of editorship. Produced in collaboration with Purple Magazine editor Olivier Zahm, the impeccably collated book exudes the same ‘je ne sais quoi’ that brought the editrix to style supremacy 30 years ago.
