old is new...

Here's the fashion forecast for the winter months.
It's time to get back to nature people, let your
inner tree hugger dance free and get your hair looking
a wee bit more natural.
monkmenagerie declares that it's time for nature to
fight back! Let your colour stand out with a style
that has solid lines, mix the old with the new and 
just remember no one does colour better than Mother
Nature...

Alexander McQueen... we miss you

Dear Alexander, 

we at monkmenagerie hope all is well and that you have finally found peace but know that the world misses you. Since your passing creativity shines less brightly on the catwalk, it's pretty boring in all honesty. Please send someone that creative spark that fashion sorely needs and say hello to the big boss in the sky for us...

Best regards, 

your friends, monkmenagerie.

There are so few quality magazines. Why oh why 
did Studio Magazines put a halt to Black+White? 
Creative and beautiful, and important in the fact
that this magazine exposed struggling Australian 
photographers.
Please bring back Black+white!
