Say Hello To Summer We s t Au s t ra l i a n s a l l l e t u s rejoice for we are young, free and fashionable. This summer, X-Press Fashion celebrates the sunburnt terrain of WA with Outback Overture, a tribute to the Australian landscape and those who call it home.

Shot on location at the picturesque Wambyn Olive Farm just outside of York, Outback Overture brings fashions from Picnic At Hanging Rock kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Despite what its name may suggest, Wambyn doesn’t just churn out tasty olives, the farm is also home to a beautiful and haunting Ruined Piano Sanctuary.

Over the years individuals and organisations have carted out derelict pianos to Wambyn, where they’re placed in fields to bore the brunt of mother nature, rotting slowly amongst the boulders and Eucalypts. Many thanks to Kim and Penny at Wambyn for allowing us free reign of their incredible property to shoot Outback Overture.

And so we begin our summer edition, complete with features on far off cities, summer music festivals, new fitness regimes and fashion courses across the state.

From all of us here at X-Press Fashion, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and good luck in the Boxing Day sales!

CLASS ACT So you want to be a fashion designer?

Well, before you can see your label hanging on the racks of boutiques across the nation, you will need to enrol in a course that will equip you with the skills needed to design and sell your wares.

Choosing the right course isn’t always an easy process – a range of universities and institutes in WA offer bachelors and diplomas in fashion, each with their own specialties. To save you a whole lot of research, X-Press Fashion has rounded up all of the options, making it easier to FIND the perfect course for what you want to do.

Curtin University Budding designers interested in employing the latest (and greatest) cutting edge production techniques should look no further than Curtin University’s undergraduate Bachelor of Arts (Humanities) course, majoring in Fashion. Home to state-of-the-art equipment and teaching staff constantly looking for new ways to create and manipulate fabrics, Curtin allows students to develop their own approach to fashion, encouraging them to innovate and push the boundaries.

A full time, three year course that takes place at Curtin’s Bentley campus, the Fashion program is highly regarded in the WA industry for producing graduates that are inventive and market ready.

Love fabric? Perhaps a Bachelor of Arts (Humanities) majoring in Textiles will be more up your alley. In this three year course students discover the history of textiles and look to the future with new kinds of fabric design and manipulation. Learn how to embroider, embellish, dye, tuft and fuse, and utilise computerised fabric production methods to create your very own prints and textiles.

To find out more about Fashion studies at Curtin, jump online to curtin.edu.au.

Challenger Institute Offering a slightly shorter course than other educational institutions in WA, Challenger Institute’s Diploma in Fashion Design and Textiles is renowned for producing some of our state’s most promising and accomplished fashion designers. Offering small classes that ensure every student receives one-on-one assistance, Challenger’s course of study focuses on both design and construction, equipping students with a wide variety of skills.

With close connections to organisations such as The Fremantle Fashion Collective, students at Challenger are encouraged to undertake extensive industry placements, working closely with established designers who know the ins and outs of life in the fashion fast lane.

Get the low down on Challenger’s hands-on course, check out challenger.wa.edu.au.

Polytechnic West If you’re not sure whether you want to focus on textiles, garment construction or design, cover all your bases with Polytechnic West’s course in Applied Fashion Design and Technology. A three year diploma, Polytechnic West’s qualification ensures students understand the ins and outs of all facets of the fashion industry, from patternmaking to how to run and maintain a successful label.

Students are offered extensive work experience opportunities with designers located in WA and over east, and a mentoring program allows industry heavyweights to guide students and provide advice and feedback on their collections.

Units on offer include Commercial Viability, Cost Design Production and Experimental Textiles.

Get the full rundown on the course at polytechnic. wa.edu.au.

Edith Cowan University Fusing the realms of art and fashion, ECU’s Contemporary Fashion (Bachelor Of Contemporary Arts) course encourages students to look beyond form and functionality to develop new ways of creating, deconstructing and understanding garments.

A three year course offered at the Mount Lawley ECU campus, the Contemporary Fashion steam of study is perfect for budding artists and designers who perhaps aren’t necessarily looking to create ready-to-wear garments. Students develop highly tuned analytical skills as well at the practical knowledge required to execute avant garde and fashion forward creations.

Units on offer include Materials And The Body, Fabric Manipulation and Contextualising The Garment, among many others.

Find out more about Contemporary Fashion at ECU via ecu.edu.au.

Design by Central Institute graduate Jaime Lee Major on show at the Perth Fashion Festival

Central Institute Whether you’re keen on print design or textile manipulation, there’s no going past Central Institute’s Diploma of Fashion and Textile Design course. Instead of just learning how to construct and design garments, students at Central Institute are offered the opportunity to create their own fabrics and learn how to design prints using traditional and cutting edge techniques.

A range of practical core units are offered as part of Central’s Fashion And Textile Design course including fashion drawing, digital design techniques, fashion textiles and fashion marketing; ensuring that graduates leave the course equipped with all the skills needed to design, create and launch a successful label.

With previous graduates including the likes of Jaime Lee Major (Jaime Lee), Kirsten Skye (Paper Skye) and Chloe Jones (Lonely As A Cloud), students at Central Institute know they’re in safe and very capable hands.

THEY ONLY WANT YOU WHEN YOU’RE 17 Spurred on by the realisation that her body is not what it used to be, Danielle Marsland road tests Bikram Yoga, sweating so you don’t have to.

Actually, you kinda do. Read on!

It’s not easy realising you’re not 17 anymore. Going out to gigs lately, I often marvel at all the new faces in the scene, wondering why I haven’t met these people before, even though I’m at the same places every “The first thing you weekend. Then it hits me, ‘right, they were in high school last month, notice when you get in the which is why I’ve never seen them around before’. I feel like I can’t compete with these babe-a-licious 17 year olds, these blondie twigs building is the bodies of the with not an ounce of fat on them, rocking skin-tight designer bodysuits, women in the foyer. Hot, and pin-like limbs in tight jeans. I feel pangs of jealousy. I used to have a hot, bodies. Skinny, toned, body like that (well, sort of)! tanned. There was even a But apparently, after seven, post-high school years of laziness, chocolate eating and beer drinking, my body has decided to give up on mega hot grandma” me. The exercise routine that I’ve had for the past few years, consisting of a light jog a couple of times a week, was obviously not cutting it. I would have to ramp things up if I wanted to even have a shot at getting back some of my 17 year old former body glory. But truth be told, I ain’t much of a ‘team sports’ girl – as far as I’m concerned, sticking the word ‘social’ before the word ‘soccer’ or ‘netball’ doesn’t make it a fun pastime – at the end of the day, even if it’s with your friends, you are still playing sport.

But I have this friend who recently tried Bikram Yoga and has bigged it up so much that I couldn’t help but become intrigued – the main obstacle being, it sounded really effing hard! It is basically 90 minutes of hardcore stretching and bending, a challenging test of your own personal gymnastic ability. Oh yeah – and one other thing – you do it all in a room that’s heated to 40 degrees. Apparently the heat, which is similar to your own internal body temperature, makes it easier for you to do all the bendy postures – it loosens up your joints so you can work yourself harder! And the sweating (and oh boy, is there a lot of sweating) helps you eliminate toxins.

So on Saturday I headed to the Bikram Yoga Centre in North Perth with my pal. The first thing you notice when you get in the building is the bodies of the women in the foyer. Hot, hot, bodies. Skinny, toned, tanned. There was even a mega hot grandma – grey hair, loads of “Over the course of the wrinkles, but the best legs I’d ever seen. You’re pretty much surrounded next 90 minutes I stretched by encouraging human results that makes the thought of the pain you’re about to endure heaps easier to bear. and contorted my body like But then the gong sounds (yep, there’s a gong!) and you enter it’s never been manipulated the Yoga Room to lay down your mat - and the heat hits you in a wave. I before. I did it fast, and I can liken it to that feeling of being in a nice air-conditioned room while did it lots. And it was really it’s sweltering at 40 degrees outside, then walking outside for the first time all day, and gulping in a mouthful of hot, dry air as the intense friggin’ sweaty work” heat attaches itself to your skin. Your heart beats faster and your chest constricts. It’s full on. Suddenly, I was petrified! How the hell was I even going to sit in this room for 90 minutes straight, let alone exercise in here, let alone exercise vigorously in here?

Over the course of the next 90 minutes I stretched and contorted my body like it’s never been manipulated before. I did it fast, and I did it lots. And it was really friggin’ sweaty work – I don’t usually the Centre encourages for maximum results, I went back within 24 hours perspire that much during general exercise, or on hot days even – but for another hit of Bikram.

As I was doing those 26 postures, I’ll give myself a few more sessions before I hit the mirror again I could feel my tuck shop lady arms burning inside, I could feel my to survey the proper results. But I have a feeling that, whilst regaining my stomach clenching, my thigh muscles literally shook they were working 17-year old-body might be an impossible task, Bikram might just be the so hard. I thought to myself,‘this is good, this is my body telling me – I’m thing to make the impossible, possible. And when my confidence in that shaping up, baby’. thought falters? Well, I just think of mega-hot grandma.

After my first session I drank a shitload of water. Litres’ worth.

Right now there isn’t any competition in the tablet market but hopefully by this time next year we’ll have an Android tablet to put on the list. You'll find them everywhere, but it could be hard to find one on sale.

2 PARROT AR DRONE

$1000 - ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone Seriously, it’s a freaking hovering drone, controlled by your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. No geek could hate this; it’s an expensive but instant win. If you are lucky enough to have another rich friend, then you can play against each other in an Augmented Reality shooting game, Drone vs Drone. Yeah.

3 BLU-RAY

$20-40 - jbhifi.com.au If your geek is rocking a PlayStation 3 or any Blu-ray player, think about getting them a new flick as a stocking stuffer. They look and sound great and usually have some great special features. But as when DVD first came out, the price of new releases is a tad on the high side. So, like getting an audio CD as a present 20 years ago, a BRD has a real sense of value to it. Scott Pilgrim vs The World or District 9 will probably hit a geek’s spot, but their favourite space-drama TV show box-set would really win them over. JB Hi-fi is gonna give you the best deal, but be wary online as Blu-ray discs usually have region locking active.

4 VOLTRON USB

$44 - incubot.com/voltron.html Fully licensed and with a full episode on the stick. Unfortunately each tiger is not an individual stick, however it’s still got some childhood credit.

5 PLAYSTATION MOVE OR XBOX KINECT

$68-$198 -.ebgames.com.au Do they already have a PS3 or Xbox 360? Give their system a 2010 tune-up with a motion controller. The recently released Playstation Move or Xbox Kinect bring their respective systems up against the dominance in motion gaming, the Nintendo Wii. Real gamers will appreciate the precision of the Move, while Kinect is yet to prove itself but it is definitely looking towards the future of computer interaction.
