We do quite fancy raven and lamb. They’re always coughing up something new. We know Mother’s Day is a little while away, but thought those of you with shops might want to stock some of these beauties.

Brit designer Maaike Mekking sure does make some pretty clothes. For her fifth season she’s taken inspiration from the wardrobes of cult cinema’s leading ladies. Films ‘Suspiria’, ‘And God Created Women’ and ‘Carrie’ inspired Maike to build a range that references the timeless power of the femme fatale in a grown up, ready-to-wear collection.

Butchers haven’t always been known for their sartorial elegance – more for enormous cleavers, big, ruddy faces and running after dogs that inexplicably keep stealing strings of sausages. On the other hand, they’ve been rocking that blue and white striped apron look for a while now, and you’ve got to respect a man in a pinnie. But now they have a new claim to fame. Brand new tee label Butchers Hook is dedicated to good basics, with plain T-shirts in three tasty choices of quality cotton and, just like their meat-loving namesakes, they know how to cut things just right. Coming in at $29.95 per tee, you can find ‘em at Glue and David Jones stores nationally, or call (02) 9699 2118 for your nearest stockist.

Have a gander at the new range from young Sydney designer Samantha Chan. Inspired by the Ballet Russes, it’s full of romantic but unfussy frocks, tops, jackets and skirts in neutrals, blues and blacks. This here is the Rehearsal Dress, RRP $286, perfect for a spot of interpretive dancing, followed by a delightful brunch.

Adelaide lady Claire opened up her site Claire Incorruptible to sell one off gems, inaccessible designer vintage, cult Aussie and O/S designerware and a bunch of other lovely things. On the flip side you'll never find frumpy, second-hand/retro stereotypes, hackneyed trends, designer rip-offs or rave gear.

Kids or no kids, this site is gold. Belle Heir was created out of, “A love for fine vintage and in appreciation of the care, quality and attention to detail that once went into the construction of clothing: hand-stitching, smocking, pin-tucks, pleating, embroidery and button-work.” Best kids clothing site ever.

P R I M O E Z A is the beautiful brainchild of Melbourne based Elizabeth Rayman Yong. Elizabeth takes knitted fabric and creates delicate pieces on vintage manual knitting machines. In the tightly edited Autumn Winter 2010 collection, titled Collection No. 1, scarves can be manipulated into different shapes, worn as tops or turbans and detachable bows can be taken off and worn with other outfits. Australian Merino wool knit fabric sits with woven material, leather and metal chain. Elizabeth considers the design process as an integral aspect to the label, and documents it all online. Take a peek.
