Ever
since they sold their debut collection from a suitcase on their
honeymoon, Melbourne-based duo Misha Hollenbach and Shauna Toohey,
aka Perks
and Mini, have consistently defied convention. By playing
things their own way, PAM have carved out a niche that allows
them to create clothing, accessories, footwear, toys, books,
music and artwork – all awaited by a captive international
audience. Apart from running their own store, Someday,
and recently launching a new collection, Pop!
Eyes, Misha and Shauna have just become parents. Amid all
this, they treated us to a characteristically strange, sophisticated
and humorous take on their hometown. |

The most intriguing, multi-faceted
new gallery around the northside is Y3K.
Currently showing Christopher
LG Hill's Never Werk and Masato Takasaka's psychological
exploration of rock guitarists Post
Structural Jam, Y3K holds regular openings and events that
are somehow both cerebral and chaotic.
The space also houses
artist studios and doubles as a
retail space for high-concept,
hard-to-find clothing and accessories from ffiXXed,
ne ff by Rob McKenzie, A
Constructed World and other designers who tread that thin
ridge between art and fashion.
Current exhibition showing until 12 September. 205 Young Street,
Fitzroy. |

PAM:
Y3Kkkkkk
all the way! An exciting stable of forthcoming and upcoming thinkers
and non-thinkers – conceptual contemporary and confusing!
(Check Chris Hill's show!) Also Utopian
Slumps and Uplands'
new space (check Matt
Griffin's show); and The
Narrows for consistently hi-end hi-level hi-nice shows. (Hi-end
galleries are cool, but only sometimes. Y3K is ALWAYS cool, so
if you don't have time, skip the others and go there!) |

Chronique Scandaleuse – sounds
like a Zoolander outfit, looks like a spellcheck error. But the Melbourne
Spring Fashion Week program promises it's a jewellery exhibition
curated by Moi and Caroline of Crossley Street's contemporary
accessories headquarters Glitzern.
Jeremy Bryant brings us Swarovski popsical sticks; Luke Warm
makes Jasper Ware-inspired Wedgwood-esque handbags; Tessa Blazey's Fiction label
offers Barbarella-style crystal slices; and Lia Tabrahs of O.T.T.
channels the '60s with peephole pendants. All on display until
12 September, but don't tell your mum unless you feel like scandaleusing
her, in a chronique kind of way.
Until 12 September. Glitzern, 1a Crossley Street, Melbourne.
Tel: 03 9663 7921. |

All
of the Above is collective workspace that marries pattern-making
with custom design projects, and screen printing with fashion
retail – all in a light-filled studio-meets-shopfront off
Brunswick Street. In the vein of an open-plan restaurant kitchen
where you can see if the chef is picking his nose, every Friday
and Saturday All of the Above opens its doors to the public and
lays the production process out for all to see. Witness the scissoring
of patterns and the sweat and tears behind that architecturally
inspired scarfigan you've been coveting.
109 Victoria Street, Fitzroy.
Tel: 03 8415 0461. |

PAM:
I buy clothes from hardware stores: getting into safety gear:
goggles, earmuffs, respiratory gear, and knee pads for extended
kneeling. Gloves (both disposable and heavy duty) are pretty
cool too. Toxic waste (art) calls for the 'right' stuff. Someday is
good too of course – new stuff consistently. (Subscribe
here!) Props to ffiXXed for
their show at Y3K. Yes props to Max of
course, and props to anyone making costumes for Bamboo Musik. |

Like most great
shops in Melbourne, Comeback
Kid has opened in a magical upstairs warehouse that is impossible
to locate. (Tip: get a coffee at Brother
Baba Budan, wait until the espresso clears your vision then
peer down Rankins Lane.) Greta Larkins and Patrick Roberts have
colonised Mirka
Mora's old studio with their favourite independent menswear
labels. Does
Not Equal, Limedrop, Trimapee and
more. Note to shop-shy XY chromosomes: the changing room is larger
than some apartments. And Greta might give you a beer if you
look tired.
Level 1, 8 Rankins Lane, Melbourne. |

MELBOURNE rules. I'm waiting for it to get big BIG bigger. People,
let's all support the little guys and allow for more little guys
to take back what's ours. Cycle to Coburg
Velodrome and beyond, eat at Africa
Town and go bush – anywhere there's bush. Go there
and camp and look for what nature has to offer. Leave your clothes
at the door of your campervan. Cheese and second-hand bookshops,
country style!!! |

Try
as we might to talk up the frosty glamour of our winter months,
it is always a relief when spring comes and we can pedal around
without giant parkas. The
Humble Vintage offers a fleet of handsome reconditioned bicycles
at more than decent rental prices – including helmets,
lights, locks and maps. We have a full week's hire to give away
to two readers. To enter, tell us the most awesome bicycle accessory
you ever had. Email
us (use the link, don't reply) – including your answer
in the subject line by 5pm, Monday 7 September. |
