STM Loves: Perth Style Company, Fashion In Colour, Second Life Markets @ AGWA, Kith Eatery & Sun People Co.

Perth Style Company “Where can I buy this furniture?” has been the question most asked of Sara Sutton, owner of staging business Perth Style Company, over the past 10 years, always about pieces that unfortunately weren’t for sale. Luckily for those with an eye for design, Sutton has launched a retail arm of her business that will sell the stylish range of furniture including chairs, tables, desks, sofas and stools. The versatile range will be available online at perthstyleco.store, with prices starting from $329. Metanoia Fashion students at South Metropolitan TAFE are hosting a runway show on October 23 for Fremantle Design Week, showcasing the innovative future of fashion. From emerging technologies and utilising digitisation to examining methods of cutting waste for a sustainable future, the up-and-coming creatives are set to put on an excellent show. To buy $15 tickets, visit humantix.com or @smtafe_fashion on Instagram. Fashion In Colour Renowned fashion illustrator Megan Hess has done it again with another sublime book, taking readers through a world of fashion — in colour, published by Hardie Grant Books. The ode to punchy hues is described as “a celebration of how colour shapes fashion”. We think it would make rather a great Christmas gift for a fashion-lover in your life. Shop at your local bookstore. Second Life Markets: Archive Get ready for the ultimate wardrobe update as these designer markets hit the Art Gallery of Western Australia. After popping up across Sydney and London, it’s Perth’s turn, with the event bringing a curated selection of pieces, shoes and accessories to the foyer of AGWA on October 19. Book free tickets through Eventbrite to find rare and designer pieces, including Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Gucci and Missoni, from 10am to 3pm, or spend $10 for 9.30am VIP entry. Sun People Co. When the beloved beach tent Holly Tong picked up at her local op shop was on its last legs, she looked everywhere to find a replacement. Not finding a similar beach shade, similar to ones seen along the coastlines of Italy, Tong designed her own under the Sun People Co. brand. Its L’Ombra Sun Tent is a modern adaption of the vintage find, made of 100 per cent cotton canvas with sustainable wooden poles. Priced from $433, the tent comes in three colours (with four new tones launching in summer), and can be purchased from sunpeopleco.com. Kith Eatery This Nedlands cafe has only been open for a few weeks but is already becoming Perth’s buzziest spot. From part of the team who brought us Someday Coffee Co in Floreat and Ol’ Buoy in Cottesloe, the aesthetic neighbourhood digs bring a sense of cool to its interiors and menu. There is a gin-cured salmon plate, a range of big and beautiful focaccia, curly fries plus a range of coffee and drinks.
