The Santa Fe boots are apart of RM Williams’ Authentics Collection and are made today, the same way they always have been, by hand in Adelaide, Australia. These classic boots feature unlined willow leather uppers, brass screwed leather sole, cuban heel and rodeo square toe with classic decorative stitching.
While they’re made for hard work, they’re perfect for the human who wants something more than just a regular leather boot from a heritage Australian brand.
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons mark the new generation of mood ring colours with Prada’s menswear FW22 collection. With bright dark hues creating a shiny midnight sky, a glassy jade leather jumpsuit, and a powerful teal coat that would seal any deal on the table: the collection marks one of Prada’s strongest to date.
Explore the new generation of mood ring colours through the latest MR TURNER MAGAZINE editorial.
An exploration of the night and its accompanying nocturnal moods with PRADA FW21.
For the nights where love and lust float through the air. It becomes tangible, like something you can pick up and eat. It tastes sweet and tart and easy.
For the nights where confidence flows through our veins. He occupies a world where he knows what to dress and for what occasion. And it was always with a Prada garment.
For the nights of fantasy. A brown boy. A mother’s son. Creating from his heart. Looking at the world from the wrong end of a telescope. It was nonsense and beauty and he liked it that way.
The latest collection drop from the iconic Australian Activewear label, PE Nation Menswear.

My Elementary school accepted me with open arms. Teachers, parents and friends in my class understood that this was simply who I am. My Mother, Grandmother and Sister let me run free. It was at this time that I began to explore more of what was so fascinating to me.
Looking back on it now, I realise how lucky I was to have had so much acceptance.
Glamorous people and objects drove my creativity. I wanted to be a fashion designer when I turned 6. Sophistication, elegance and beauty were my kryptonite. Sailor Moon was my favourite TV show, and I had to be Posh Spice when playing pretends with friends. I even started sketching wedding dresses outside wedding shops and created my own magazine to showcase and write critiques on my own designs.
When I arrived at secondary school, the game changed. I was attending an all-boys private school, and masculinity was the aim of the game. I started hiding my interests, praying no one would ever find out about that person who I used to be and definitely no longer was. I’m a man now; I do boy things.
But everyone knows the truth always comes out.
This progresses into a story that is like so many others, some more fortunate and some worse. Yet they all follow the same plot: knowing you’re different, being targeted for it, and paving the way for yourself in your world until you find others like you.
Why do people target those who are different? Why are we made to feel less than when we are nothing less than exceptional. We are the people who push boundaries and swim upstream. We constantly test what’s tolerable and take it a little further. We are the ones making sure the future generations of us do better than we have done.
I always wonder what my creativity would be like had there been no outside influence. What if no one thought a boy playing with dolls was wrong? What if dressing up and experimenting with expression had no boundaries? That fashion and art were genderless, or the concept that anybody could be anyone and that they could do anything was a liveable truth. What if there was no idea of what was or what is normal?
What if the birds sang love and the leaves on trees listened? What if the wind could pick up its song and carry it like pollen? What if people listened to its sound and felt its message?
What if we could all just be?
I imagine it would be a Utopia.
I’ll live with the truth to these questions as unanswered. I wonder if I am poorer for having lost an explanation. Maybe I am richer for having gained a mystery.
I styled this editorial with Wynn Hamlyn‘s Resort 2022 collection. Although the Macrame dress and top is a unique and beautiful garment on its own, it has a symbolic representation of a barrier or cage in I don’t really talk about it (but I probably should). It is to communicate the idea that there is something holding one back, yet at the same time, there is a sentimental longing or affection for one’s true self.
The latest magazine edit explores the idea of transeasonal styling when it comes to Summer and Winter – making this not your regular [a] day in the park.
This is an editorial that recontextualises a season collection. Fashion releases don’t always align when it comes to the northern and southern hemisphere seasonal opposites.
However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t wear Summer releases in Winter. To test this I reworked Bally‘s SS21 collection to suit an Australian Winter; A Day in the Park.
This article also features styling elements from Raf Simons and Jac+Jack.

High Winter is a collaboration with MYER to coincide with the launch of the Live Your Winter Campaign and celebrate their latest seasonal The Myer Man Men’s Winter drop.
There is no time like the present to invest in good times and quality pieces to live Winter like you mean it. At Myer, and Myer Man, you can shop a wide range of coats and jackets, knit and sweats, jeans, t-shirts, and more, across well-known brands.
In this edit, I created four looks to suit my everyday style using a mixture of my favourite streetwear and denim MYER MAN brands. Find the breakdown, and hyperlinks, under the editorial.
