So long Mayumi!

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

After six fantastic years of service, long standing shop manager and ‘face of Alice’ Mayumi is leaving us!

What will we miss the most? Her always sunny disposition? Coming back from her lunch break with chocolate for all? Her amazing style? Keeping us all in check? Lengthy conversations about exciting new recipes (mostly involving cheese)? We could go on forever, but I think the one thing we will miss the most is HER!

This week is her last week, so come and say goodbye, wish her the best and try and convince her to stay. We love you M-O-T! xox

This just in!

Beat Poet ‘Zero Form’ opening

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Menswear designers Ed and James from Beat Poet’s came down to melb to launch their Spring/Summer collection ‘Zero Form’ with us earlier this week. We especially love the ‘Tall Shirts’ for women that they’ve introduced. The light form from their parade in Sydney earlier this year will be gracing our store for the coming months. Footage of the show is also on display as well as some one off Beat Poet gems.  Here are some images from the eve…

Unite and take over!!!

designersale

An amalgamation of second hand bits from Melbourne’s fashion elite plus end of season bargains from Europe and beyond (aka – hometown). 100’s of pieces including mysterious samples – super cheap. Girls, get especially excited if your feet grace a 38-40. Great footwear to be had.  Not to be missed!!!

Double – no TRIPLE drop!

What better way to compliment this glorious day than with some deliveries of Spring Summer stock!

Bright and bold – it’s Birthday Suit!

This collection is the perfect combination of 90’s excess and colours bright enough to make your eyes pop – as it should be with a range inspired by Madonna and Frida Kahlo. We only have limited amounts of these pieces in the amazing “Cheetah Rose” print so be quick… ‘Cos we are livin’, in a material world.

Maybe ironically we’ve got some relentlessly dark Friedrich Gray pieces to compliment this bright sunny day, in true Melbourne style…

Not forgetting some brilliant basic Shoulder Pad T’s by newbie Alice label Dress Up – in Nude, White, Black and Grey Marle to give you a bit of a lift. Sorry no pics, come see for yourself!

R.I.P JOHN HUGHES

Pull out all your old VHS this weekend and remember how you felt the first time you saw one of his classics. Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Weird Science, even Uncle Buck. His films made our childhood/teenage years bearable and gave the underdogs hope. They made us wanna skip school, steal your Dad’s car, fall in love, steal underwear, rebel against your elders and DANCE!

Thanks for all the memories x

Last chance ‘Look’…

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

After a much welcomed stay Iggy & Lou Lou’s ‘Look of Love’ residency that has been adorning the top floor of Alice is in it’s last days of viewing… Sniff…

All the pieces will still be available for sale after exhibition closes, but it is highly recommended you pop down for one last gander in all it’s lovey dovey pearlescent porcelain glory.
