Skating along fashion's serrated edge, Alice Euphemia championed local labels long before it became de rigueur. A staunch supporter of the Antipodean aesthetic, the boutique stocks only Australian labels. Around 80 clothing and accessory designers are given some well-deserved exposure and their lines are unapologetically original. Romance Was Born and Tina Kalivas are just a few of the labels that will cause you and your cash to part company. Meanwhile, the cabinets of contemporary jewellery attract their fair share of fingerprints – look out for porcelain brooches and hand-cut key pendants. M. PADULA  Copyright © 2009 |
