Something Else - The Castaway Short Film
The short film is now the preferred method of delivering a labels' influences and imagery for each collection and here's a beautiful version from Something Else. Here are their notes
" 'Castaway' - a debut short film directed by Lorin Askill to celebrate the launch of the Something Else Spring 2011 collection - Castaway. Lorin Askill is a talented Sydney based director who works in Australia and overseas.
Dishevelled and washed upon the shore, in her quest to explore new lands, the character becomes a vagabond on higher ground - living a carefree existence.
Creative Director of Something Else, Natalie Wood, also aimed for the film to have an 'other world' sensibility and level of unease. Together Natalie and Lorin beautifully create a feeling of strange isolation and underlying dislocation within the everyday."

A scarf & bag story
It looks different and it feels different. Not in an unusual way but there is a, for want of a better word, a 'life force' in the fabric of these silk scarves and bags from Eastern Weft.
Handwoven on rosewood looms in Laos by master weavers. They survived by selling these hand-dyed scarves in a Vientiane market stall until their discovery by a Laos-born Sydney woman. Each scarf is from a lot of only 30 metres. The dyes are from soils, pomegranates or dried lillipilly even odd bits of iron.. whatever items from the land around them will bear a colour.
What you can't see here is the way they feel. The scarves have beads woven through the silk almost like a story in braille. The bags have textures of materials that come from an artful mix of fabrics. For those who love to feel fabrics, touch materials, this is one item to give you a genuine thrill.
P.S. If any of this looks familiar...Sass & Bide are supporters of Eastern Weft's fabrics
