Why: Distinctive, versatile, high quality, accessible shoes.

Who: For the girl who wants something special, yet practical.

Wae wae: Maori for “feet”.

Hu: Maori for “shoes”.

The whywho range of footwear is designed by Cate King and Sarah Busby, sisters from Gisborne, New Zealand with global aspirations.

whywho is inspired by the laidback, uniquely idyllic East Coast lifestyle. Every pair of shoes is a combination of internationally influenced style and impeccably crafted, small town comfort.

Unexpected combinations of leather and fabric, stitching and detailing means the shoes can be worn in different ways, with any outfit.

Press Release....
With a nod to the preppy perfection of the tennis court, Lonely Hearts spring/summer 2010 melds fresh- faced innocence with coming-of-age teenage rebellion. It’s a good girl turning bad – sneaking out for a cigarette during tennis practice, her bad boy’s leather jacket slung over her crisp, white tennis dress.
Tones are clean and fresh - whites with pale pastels and cream with blue. Club blazers are cropped and emblazoned with an embroidered crest, shorts are twee and geeky and pants are high and pleated. Dresses are reminiscent of the golden age of tennis dressing – think Chris Everett with a little Steffi Graff pep – tiered, pleated and short.
Sporty practice shorts, racer back tops and stretch mesh detailing make an appearance, and shapes are easy fitting – dresses are A-line with fitted tops and full, flirty skirts.
Interspersed throughout all this country club freshness are classic Lonely Hearts forms. Rebellious dresses and separates come in hyperactive, peppy prints – paint splatter viscose, a custom acid tie dye on chambray denim - all inspired by the animal drawings of Alan Aldridge and Jan Svankmajer's 1988 surrealist film Alice. Schoolgirl checks and pretty florals add a girlish touch, referencing Lonely Hearts' signature masculine/feminine clash.
The classic country club navy is highlighted with sheer taupe and nude tones. Leather makes itself known in workout shorts and a short club blazer. While complex detailing is more prevalent than previous seasons, the collection has a confident, more minimal feel.
New Zealand based artist Kelly Thompson's freaky reworkings of the classic crest and crocodile logo are embroidered on chest pockets and grace paperwork - dapper subversions of the trappings of scrubbed-clean wealth.

Look out for new label to Belle Bird, Style Stalker, coming this summer!!

Building on a growing global presence which has so far included impressive editorial coverage in UK Grazia and Vogue.co.uk, Sydney-based label Style Stalker is set to become the only Australian designer to be stocked in the prestigious UK department store, Selfridges. This exciting partnership is a natural progression for the label, whose signature aesthetic (as seen on Florence & The Machine and Kim Kardashian), ties in perfectly with London's edgy and pop-culture obsessed fashion scene.

"We are pinching ourselves,” says Style Stalker creators Rachel Zelic and Su-Ann San. “Selfridges has always been our mecca, we're thrilled to be joining the ranks of the incredible labels they carry”.

Full of praise for Style Stalker's Spring 2010/11 collection, 'Wipe Out', Selfridges placed an order of over 30 styles, sighting the ‘Jaws’ tie-dye dress and the cut-out leggings as stand-out pieces. 'We are so excited to be the launch store for Style Stalker in the UK this summer,” says Selfridges’ Contemporary Buyer, Ros Leach. “I fell in love with the collection from the minute I walked into the showroom, the foundation of any summer wardrobe at fantastic prices. I know I'll be wearing it at all the festivals this summer!'.

Keen to get Style Stalker onto the shop floor as quickly as possible, Selfridges has also bought out excess stock from the winter 2010 collection which is to be fast-tracked into store by the end of April.

With a fresh, cutting-edge style that has won them over 100 worldwide stockists and legions of fans, this exciting news from one of the world's most prestigious retailers firmly cements Style Stalker's position as a major player on the global fashion stage.
