Refinery 29: ANZFW 2009
A review of ANZFW 2009 for Refinery 29 – Fresh Kiwi:
“… Juliette Hogan confidently indulged in an ultra-feminine dress-up fantasy, offering a range of flirty dresses, snappy pants, and softly ruffled skirts. As she said, it’s all “So Pretty it Hurts.”"
Bullet Mag: ANZFW 2009
“Must have items? An epaulette adorned bodysuit for the girls, and an oversized, intricately knitted blush pink cardigan for the boys. Hot dang.”
Catch & Covet Vintage
Catch & Covet Vintage (07-09) was an online store I owned and operated. I developed a brand character, the set of values and wrote all copy (from newsletters to adverts). I also directed an illustrator and web developer on the design of the site. Updated regularly, every item required a snappy product description to get vintage shoppers salivating. The overall tone was cute but not twee, sustainable but not too much granola.
FashioNZ: London & Loulou
“… Loulou Androlia is part of this new wave of young avant-garde London designers putting their stamp on the fashion world. She is the genius behind LouLou Loves You, a range of beautiful luxury lingerie and dashing accessories. I caught up with Loulou on her thoughts regarding inspiration, London, people watching and collaborations.”

Alt Albion
In February 2009 I traveled around the UK, on tour with Alt Albion. It was a trip to remember – and write home about! Here’s a selection of pieces I wrote while on the road:
- The Liver Bird – an ode to the symbols of Liverpool
- On The Wall - a nation of alt art
- March of the Spoons - the spoon hunting continues
- Vintage Manchester – hunting for retro treasures
- London A to Zed – a typographic survey of London
- Wasabi – discovering some of London’s multicultural tastes
- Shoreditch – East London is a vampire…
