We’re very proud to bring you our latest campaign film – The Enchanted – in motion.
We’re so proud to release today our brand new (8th Can you believe it?!) Collection: The Enchanted.
This season we’ve designed 6 of our favourite prints, with vibrant colours and a range of new styles to combine the two things we love into one beautiful collection.
In-store now, check here for your closest store, or you can buy selected pieces direct from us in our online boutique.
We often get questions about our shoots – the where & how, the who and what.
Each shoot for us is entirely different – but all with the same outcome – a We Are Handsome campaign.
Our team works really hard both in preparation s=for our shoots and on shoot day to get everything perfect – and we don’t compromise on quality.
Shoot days are always fun, but are long – up to 12 hours – and very hard work.
For the Streets campaign we headed over to one of our fave spots in Maroubra (in Sydney) and spent the day amongst the ocean pool, rocks and waves. Each shot that resulted was meticulously set up by the team (we have about 9-12 people on set) and photographed by our photographer and friend Trevor King dozens and sometimes hundreds of times to get the look we’re after.
We love each of our shoots and are always in the planning stages of 2-3 more for future collections.
Our friend (and biggest fan) Rihanna was spotted yesterday in Barbados in ANOTHER We Are Handsome one piece – The Secret Garden Zipsuit.
As I’m sure you know, RiRi has been spotted more than once in our stuff, and we even made her a custom Bob Marley piece earlier this year which she wore in her hometown as well as in her music video for ‘Cheers’ (Let’s Drink to That).
Just yesterday Rihanna was home again in Barbados, this time shooting with Oprah for a special 1 hour long interview with the pop princess on her childhood, music, fame and growing up like no one else.
We’re super excited to see her in one of our favourite prints from the Romantic collection – The Secret Garden which, if you look closely has hidden images of puppies all through it. A little known fact is that many of the puppies are those of ours, our friend’s and families, making the print very personal to us and one of our all time faves.
Of course, The Secret Garden Zipsuit Rihanna wears is almost sold out – but we have a few left in our e-boutique if you’re quick!!
We are incredibly excited to introduce you all to our newest collection, The Matriarch.
The Matriarch is strong, she is elegant, she is confident, she is a force to be reckoned with. She is magnetic. She is captivating. She is you.
Following on from The Romantic, we have released another array of prints to infatuate and delight. The Matriarch is a carefree, graceful collection of new prints and styles with a focus on beauty, elegance and confidence.
We hope you enjoy this campaign and collection as much as we enjoyed creating it.
The Collection is in-store now internationally and due in-store in July for Australia. Check our Stockists page for your nearest store.
Nothing says summer like a pop of colour on the lips, so for our debut show we decided to step things up a notch. We enlisted MAC makeup guru Nicole Thompson, who created one of the most talked about makeup trends from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) by painting two-toned lips on models in bright pink and orange. Thompson relied on a layering technique to create the intense palette, using water-resistant products to set the colour, along with pre-mixed cream lipsticks and powder pigments.
Brows were right on trend with arches lifted to give them a feminine, almost cat-like feel. With the focus on the lips, eyes were softly shaded and cheeks were given a natural glow. Thompson created sun-kissed skin using a double coat of St Tropez Mousse (which we also included in the goodie bag) that was then topped off with the brand’s Bronzing Rocks shimmer powder.
We’d like to thank MAC and the amazingly talented Nicole Thompson and her team for helping bring our vision to life. We can’t wait to see two-toned lips on the street this summer.
You know how bad your hair feels after you’ve had it done for an event? Well times that by a hundred and you’ll get some idea of the condition of a model’s hair during fashion week. With back-to-back shows, they’re having their hair washed, dried and styled over and over again. That’s why we were thrilled to have TRESemme on board for our show. Between TRESemme and our hair style director Keiren Street, our girls hair not only looked stunning, it felt amazing too (if you were lucky enough to get that close!)
The style we chose for our models relied heavily on their locks being in top condition. Thanks to an incredible array of TRESemme products on hand, we were able to create a soft and romantic style to compliment the collection. Models strutted down the runway with hair slicked into a side part using red bobby pins, with long cascading beach waves down one shoulder.
A big thanks to the hair care gurus over at TRESemme for keeping our models locks looking luscious.
One of the best things about putting a show on is being able to collaborate with a whole bunch of amazing designers and creative visionaries. So over the next week, we’ll be revealing the talented people who helped make our Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA) debut possible.
With a colourful collection that included animalistic, landscape and floral inspired prints, we needed jewellery that could hold its own. So to compliment our pieces, we turned to jewellery designers MEZI. The Sydney-based label is designed by sister duo Tal Manning and Adva Punin who draw on their exotic Moroccan-Egyptian heritage to create eye-catching adornment. Using a pop of yellow and stacked shapes, the girls custom-designed a pair of tropical drop-style earrings that we couldn’t wait to see paired with our suits.
The earrings created the perfect finish to the styling of our models and we can’t thank MEZI enough for being a part of the show.
So, as I’m sure you guys know we’re pretty much addicted to Instagram. You’ve probably seen the feed to the right (over there—–>) but I thought it was high time i pull out some of my fave shots that I’ve taken. All the shots on Instagram (with the exception of the campaign/project shots) are shot and edited solely in my iPhone. You can follow the feed on Instagram @wearehandsome
