Jar Jar Binks wears Margiela, Darth Vader wears Band of Outsiders, Superman wears D&G. The words alone spark intrigue and imagination on so many levels and when John Woo executes these visions through watercolour with such skill & class, any potential gimmicky hipster factor that may or may not have gone through your head should be layed to the wayside, or at least taken on with pleasure rather than eye rolls.

Bali is an island for everyone. Families spend their hard earned savings at a relaxing resort around Nusa Dua or Seminyak, hard-partying twenty somethings descend on the beaches, hotels and nightclubs of South Kuta, while the dedicated surfers migrate to the southern peninsula of Uluwatu.

Each year, this renowned area attracts thousands of advanced surfers from every corner of the globe, pursuing their lifelong quest for the perfect wave. The atmosphere is electric and people are happily helpful.

The paddle-out at Uluwatu point is confronting enough to scare the pants of even the bravest of souls. Surfers climb down a few hundred stairs that lead to a hollow, wide cave. On high tide you literally begin your paddle through this dark cave without seeing the exit. When you do get into the line-up, there are three main breaks to chose from; The Peak, Racetracks and Temples. Between the three, there is a huge variety of waves to choose from. Just watch the paddle back in at high tide; it’s tough to spot the cave entrance and before you know it you can float half way to Kuta.

When the sun finally makes its return to Sydney, we know what we’ll be wearing. Aussie eyewear brand Sunday Somewhere may have only just launched, but we’ve already got them on our Christmas list. Started by Dave Allison (COLAB eyewear) and Carlos Aviles (AM eyewear), the range features sunglasses and optical frames that focus on detail, quality, simplicity and originality.

What we like best about Sunday Somewhere is that they’re not influenced by trends. Their aesthetic draws on both the past and future to create a unique collection of eyewear that ranges from vintage to modern. And within these styles are some of the best round sunnies around. So check out their debut collection and get ready for one hell of a summer.

We’re not usually into labels that tell us that they’re designed to be worn “at the most exclusive beaches and hotspots of the summer� but Myo are based in Como, Italy – so we’ll excuse them. Started earlier this year by brothers David and William Fattal, Myo is a new luxury brand of men’s resort wear that wouldn’t look out of place on Jude Law’s character in The Talented Mr Ripley.

These shorts are made for guys who don’t just wear boat shoes because they’re cool and hipster. They’re made for guys who wear boat shoes because at any given time they might be on a boat and goddamn it those decks can be slippery.

Dane Renyolds is the best surfer in the world. He hasn’t won world titles, he hasn’t won comps and he doesn’t care. He has raw natural talent and creativity when it comes to surfing. No one can touch him.

This creativity translates to other parts of his life. He is a free-thinking, lateral, creatively minded individual, writing a brilliant blog called Marine Layer Productions – complete with hipstamatic styled vids of surfing, lifestyle and general crazy shit. An offshoot of his hugely successful blog is his online clothing store called Summer Teeth.

Ever wondered what would happen if you threw a collection of dark photographic seascapes onto some whitewash plywood boards and added a hand painted homage to beach and surf culture over the top? What about a bunch of beaten-up wetsuits sewn together to create a giant logo-covered patchwork doona? Well with photographer Ryan Heywood and artist Luke Taaffe teaming up for an exclusive show, you don’t have to wonder.

Catch their show SURF CITY at the National Grid Gallery in Sydney from the 14th of October through to the 2nd of December.
