Colour blocking, laser cuts, statement jewelry and the lot. Trends come and go, but I’d say that at the moment there’s a lot less opportunity to proverbially colour outside the lines when it comes to what we wear. Sometimes I don’t want to wear a maxi dress and a blazer (actually, I’ve never wanted to wear a maxi dress and a blazer) and so there aren’t many options when I need new rags to adorn my bones.
Enter Kate Stein, who has distinguished herself as one of Brisbane’s most eclectic stylists by consistently going against the grain and never ever colouring within the lines. Instead of boozing in the kiddy pool over the summer, Stein lost herself in the bazaars of India, gaining culture, inspiration and materials and collating them into her second collection: Bang Lassy.
Bang Lassy represents the expression of Stein’s third world journey, with Stein’s trademark psychedelic touch. If you’re seeking an excuse to go against the grain as well, shuffle down to Nine Lives and revel in the ethnic delight that is Bang Lassy.
