Haze
With family ties in both the fashion and optometry industries – it seemed written in the stars that Asha Zomer would grow up to design eyewear. Her label, (h)AZE, is Australian designed, handmade in France, and made from Italian materials. There’s a mixture of classic vintage styles with a modern twist, taking inspiration from the shapes and styles of the 1950s, through to today. The latest collection features 7cm thick acetate, cat-eye shapes, keyhole bridges, frosted and polished finishes blended with accents of turquoise, orange, pearl purple and clear crystal pink, as well as edgier metal frames with mirrored gold and silver lenses. (h)AZE eyewear is also 100% scriptable. Four-eyes nationwide rejoice – now there’s no need to choose between fashion and functionality.

Foxton Lane
Melbourne label Foxton Lane reinterprets traditional, timeless and classic European designs with a modern twist. Specialising in women’s tops, bags and skirts, the products are all made on a limited run basis using material off-cuts, reducing the label’s carbon footprint; another fitting way to revert back to the (less polluted) practices of yesteryear. This emerging Melbourne label was created by Cassie Brain – lawyer turned fashion designer pursing her lifelong creative dreams. Versatile and stylish, the range caters for women who want classic fashion both for and outside the office.

My Global Hunter
My Global Hunter was born out of a love for fashion and handcrafted pieces. Working with artisans from around the world the label creates statement jewellry using semi-precious stones including onyx, quartz and topaz. These stones are teamed with sterling silver, 24-carat gold and hammered brass to create unique, weathered designs. The rings, earrings and necklaces can be mixed and matched to take from casual daywear into evening with ease. Starting at less than $80 this exotic handcrafted jewellery won’t blow the budget. At FJ, we love the Beehave necklace, hot at only $65.
