Surprise Press

In our humble opinion, the best kind of press is the surprise kind, like this gorgeous shoot featuring some of our pieces we stumbled across today via Clew Magazine.

We’ll be the first to admit however, we feel pretty guilty when we don’t know about these things in advance!

Bento Jacket, Clew Magazine

In case you missed it the first time around too, Bento was recently featured in MX, too…

And interviewed for The Circle… but you’ll have to visit the Channel Ten website for that! Here’s a direct link to the video: http://ten.com.au/the-circle-video.htm?movideo_p=40519&movideo_m=157774

Thanks for all the support!

For those of you who haven’t heard, we’re now blogging for Madison magazine. Last weekend they sent us to Brisbane to give you the lowdown on what the city has to offer (it’s far more amazing than you probably realise). You can read our first post (and all those to come), here: http://www.madisonmag.com.au/Brisbane48HotSpots/blogs.htm

Huge thanks to Madison for the opportunity.

Bento, Interpreted

Bento friend, stylist and all-round glamour girl Jess Dempsey recently held a shoot that included some Bento. We just love how the look turned out… So much colour!

Bento Gets Minty Fresh

A very quick (but special) post today about some coverage we’ve received in one of our favourite magazines, Peppermint, this month.

For those of you who don’t know, Peppermint is all about eco-friendly, green, sustainable and ethical fashion and lifestyle.

Check out our beautiful little snippit in this gorgeous publication…

Peppermint – March 2011

Peppermint is available at Magnation and all good newsagents. If your local doesn’t have it, I strongly suggest you harass them into stocking it.

Bento Through A Different Lense

Now that the whirlwind that is LMFF has come to a close, I thought I’d share with you some photos. These photos are different to others I’ve shown in the past, because whilst they still contain Bento… I had no control over the result.

I’ve been extremely honored that bloggers and trendwatchers not just from Australia but also from other parts of the world, like New Zealand, Chili and the US have stopped me to ask for a picture.

Anyway… here’s a selection of photos taken in the last couple of weeks (in no particular order).

Bento factor: Grey 'Ruby' dress

Bento factor: Ruby dress in black

At The Spirit Of The Black Dress catwalk. I’d love to enter this next year! Photo by Cheryl of Business Chic. See more of her blog here: http://businesschic.com.au/

Bento factor: Yet again, the Ruby dress in black (What can I say? It's just so easy to wear)

Before the LMFF Runway 5, presented by Harper’s Bazaar. Photo by the team from thread.co.nz see more of their stuff here: http://www.thread.co.nz/news/5750/15/Street-Chic-at-Harpers-Bazaar/d,thread-article

Alright, and another one where I don’t look like quite such a dork:

Photo by Jesse at J-Dawg World (yes, really): http://j-dawgworld.com/… really like his work.

The cool thing about people taking your photo is you get introduced to new and wonderful things on the interwebs. Other than those I’ve already mentioned, perhaps my favourite introductions for the week were Monty from www.theloupe.org and Norman from www.musingmutley.blogspot.com (the latter being the only street style photographer I’ve ever met who actually conducts a mini interview on the spot)!

So… next fashion week in the calendar isn’t ’til May. I have a while to work on my posing before then, I suppose!

Bento Named Amongst Top 5 Emerging Designers

Today’s post will be a little short… but that’s what you get during a fashion festival!

It’s perhaps a little bit old, but Broadsheet recently named Bento amongst the top 5 emerging labels in Australia.

I was really thrilled for us to be named alongside other labels like Neo Dia and my current personal favourite shoe label, Habbot Studios.

Thanks, Broadsheet!

The Dressing Room – Meet The Designers

Last Friday I was part of a small soiree at one of our stockists – The Dressing Room – at GPO in Melbourne. With cupcakes, clothes and some overly-excitable champagne (if anyone can explain why putting a straw in a miniature bottle of bubbles causes it to overflow, let me know), it was a really lovely evening.

A few select pics from the night…
