MELBOURNE RETAIL FESTIVAL 2019

26TH FEBRUARY, 2019

This year at the Melbourne Retail Festival we had many exhibitors who are leading the way in fashion with their creative innovations. We would love to share with you five of the most inventive product developments from Australian designers that were showcased at the fair.

JOHN MILES SHIRTS

Meet Jane: the clever designer of the John Miles crease-proof, sweat-proof and daggy-proof shirts.

Jane’s husband regularly travels on flights for work, which presented a problem – his shirts would always come out creased! And so, her search begun to find the perfect shirt and that would withstand the annoyances of travel. When she could not find the one, she set out to design her own.

“We couldn’t find a shirt with flexible fabric that would both allow comfort and not require ironing.”

The result is a stylish non-iron, moisture wicking and classic fit dress shirt. Currently there are four classic colours available – white, pale blue, blue/white gingham and black/white gingham – with plans to add more to the range soon!

ANEARA

https://aneara.com.au/

Sandals have a reputation for not always being the best for your feet, but the podiatrist-approved Aneara shoes are changing the game.

Andrea Selman, CEO and head Designer of Aneara, was looking for fashionable age-appropriate shoes with support for her daughters’ growing feet. After visiting the girls’ podiatrist to buy shoes for summer, the Podiatrist said “That’s it! We have nothing more after this size for them”. Andrea couldn’t believe at the age of 9 – the girls could now wear ladies orthotic shoes. Surely this wasn’t correct. But after much investigation this was the case.

In early 2016, Aneara was born. With a couple of shoemaking courses under Andrea’s belt and sketches under her arm, she was on a mission to create age appropriate and supportive shoes that are great for growing feet.

What makes an Aneara sandal unique is the footbed that gives support, with a deep heel cup, structured heel counter and adjustable ankle straps – no more aching legs and backs! Andrea continues to make her own prototypes in her own shoe studio, working extensively with podiatrists, physiotherapists and shoe manufacturers, to create shoes good for your feet. We can’t wait to see what’s next!

CHUSETTE

https://chusette.com/

Australia’s premium hosiery brand, Chusette have created a unique fabric that truly stands the test of time.

A carefully curated combination of cotton, bamboo and cashmere, Chusette socks are designed to keep you comfortable all year round. The socks have a comfortable elastic top, invisible seams and reinforced toe and heel.

We love not only that the Chusette socks are not only a great innovation with their unique blend, but that they are also a truly family brand with sizes catering to all ages.

PRINTEMPS ETE

https://printempsete.com/

Rebecca Formoso’s colourful intricate jewellery designs are truly one of a kind. Handcrafted from her studio in Seaford, Rebecca finds her inspiration in nature to achieve a feminine and bold statement. Her designs are made with a combination her favourite gems, crystals, pearls, feathers and findings – all in colours that she can’t resist. We totally agree with her philosophy that life is too short to wear boring jewellery!

One day a retailer asked Rebecca if the feather on one of her necklace could be clipped on and off so that the customer can choose depending on the occasion. This inspired Rebecca to create more jewellery with customisable elements so that customers can enjoy more versatility with her designs.

Rebecca has also worked with her retailers to create pieces that compliment new season clothing perfectly.

Printemps Ete is a wonderful example of how designers and retailers can collaborate together to create innovative pieces that their customers will love!

CALI RAE SWIMWEAR

https://calirae.co/

Cali Rae has created the world’s first scent infused swimwear range! This was inspired by their love of all whole foods.

Organic, vegan and delicious, Cali Rae take careful consideration into choosing the highest quality fabrics in the most desirable scents. The scent range includes apple spice, blackberry, chocolate, lychee, pina colada, pineapple, pomegranate and strawberry.

The swimwear is infused using a fabric spray that has been made with premium fragrance oils and essential oils. The spray is alcohol free and does not contain any harsh chemicals – completely vegan and cruelty free!

Great Gift Ideas For Men – John Miles Non-Iron Dress Shirt Review

by Admin | Wed/May 16, 2018 | Men's Shirts, Non Iron Shirts

The summer is almost here, and it’s time to talk about something that could possibly change the way you think about dress shirts. For many men, wearing button-up shirts can be uncomfortable because the shirts often absorb sweat in the heat. In this post, I want to introduce John Miles – the ultimate shirt brand that sells performance dress shirts that are moisture-wicking, wrinkle-free and quick-drying. Their shirts would make great gifts for men this summer as they’re some of the most functional shirts that I’ve seen!

A bit about John Miles- the brand makes all their dress shirts in Australia, which means that the materials and manufacturing process is extremely high quality. The shirts are made with a 4-way stretch which means that their garnets give off a slimmer look. The most unique thing about their shirts is that they are totally wrinkle-free and hassel-free, which means that you can scrunch it in your bag and it will still look fresh after you take it out!

I recently got this lovely Non-Iron Classic Fit Pale Blue Dress Shirt – I chose this shirt because of it’s beautiful colour, as pale blue is an elegant, versatile and flexible colour that goes well with any outfit, be it casual or formal. The most important thing about a good shirt is that it can be worn in any occasion, and this one definitely fits the bill. John Miles also sells them in white, gingham and other cool colors.

In terms of the style, the shirt is beautifully designed and looks extremely stylish. I think the lovely blue pattern is beautiful because it is slightly textured, which makes it look unique and interesting. The knitted pattern of the shirt makes it stand out from regular plain shirts. The shirt also has removable collar stays, which makes the collar stand up well and suited for formal occasions. I love the shaped hem in the bottom, and the lovely white buttons which blends in with the shirt.

As for the comfort and fit, the shirt is made with a very stretchy material composed of Nylon, Lycra and Polyester. The combination of these materials means that the shirts are quick-drying and any sweat from the body is quickly evaporated in the air. I got a Size Small for my boyfriend, and it fits him just fine. You can probably get a size smaller because of the fit, but they have a useful size guide which you can use. The shirt is extremely soft and comfortable, which is really surprising as I never expected a synthetic material to feel so luxurious!

The quality of this John Miles shirt is absolutely top-notch. Since John Miles makes their shirts in Australia, their quality check is impeccable, and they even package their shirts in laundry bags that you can use to wash your shirt in! I really enjoyed this little touch, and washing the shirt in a bag will also extend the shirt’s life, ensuring that it lasts for years to come.

Overall, John Miles really hits the sweet spot in creating functional, beautiful and hassel-free shirts for men. It’s hard to find shirts that can keep one cool during the heat, and these shirts pack and unpack easily without any wrinkles at all. They outperform any dress shirt that I’ve ever seen, and is my boyfriend’s new favourite shirt (which got him lots of compliments). I cannot recommend John Miles enough!

Who else doesn’t give a stuff about their shirt?

by Admin | Mon/Mar 19, 2018 | Men's Shirts, Non Iron Shirts

It’s just something us guys need to do. But it doesn’t mean we like it.

We’d much rather walk around in a singlet, tracky dacks and runners all day.

Not constantly adjusting collar and worrying about our sweaty pits in a tight, hot, uncomfortable shirt.

Does a shirt really matter?

All that first impression gibberish:

You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

A well dressed man is the best accessory a woman can have.

Dressing well being a form of good manners, according to Tom Ford.

Yada yada yada.

Someone give me a no fuss shirt please!!!

If we have to wear a damn shirt. Please don’t make us:

Wash it

Iron it

Hang it pedantically.

Scrub burger juice stains off it like our life depends on it.

There’s more to life than a shirt

Hell yeah!

Like playing golf with the boys.

Taking the kids to cricket.

Learning what makes a good brew.

Figuring out how to keep our better halves happy (happy wife happy life apparently, though we know that’s not quite true).

In short: Life is too short to waste it thinking about shirts.

But I still need to look good, society tells me.

So go on, just give me a low fuss shirt that never goes out of style and get on with it.

I’m out for drinks with the boys tonight.

Cheers!
