“Poignant. Flawless.”

Time



“Smart and sumptuous.”

Wall street Journal


"Watching the movie is a little like gorging on chocolate and Champagne until that queasy moment arrives when you realize you’ve consumed far too much."

The New York Times



“This enthralling film is an endearingly intimate portrait. Splendidly eye-filling… As seductive and glamorous as high fashion itself.”

Film Journal International



"This up-close portrait delivers all the runway glamor and backstage gossip that fashionistas crave, yet it's also unexpectedly poignant."

Maloles - Shoes and Bags

Maloles Antignac launched her eponymous collection in 2004 with the introduction of her signature ballerina flats. The "Georges" the "Zoe" and the "Safir" are now all classics which are updated each season in different leathers and details.

Each piece is made using an artisan shoemaking practice called "Sacchetto", a form of craftsmanship that offers a glove-like construction to envelop the foot giving more agility to the shoes - so much that front of the shoe can be bent, so it will move in every direction to fit the flexibility of the foot. Each one is hand-stitched on both the interior and exterior for utmost durability, and the gold stitched sole gives an decorative and elegant touch to all the Sacchetto styles.

This season we have the Georges flat as well as the Safir in the new metal tonal studded leather. There is also a large clutch with this studded detailing. Gorgeous, luxurious and comfortable, the studded detailing is subtle but stunning.

Another unique and gorgeous piece from Maloles is the over sized Orchid Clutch in goat leather with orchid-embossed detail. The leather covered 3D look is a strong look for next season. Available in black or navy. AUD$650

Alexander McQueen Jewellery

This is a new skull ring, which smaller and more understated. The eyes and mouth are crystal studded as usual but the skull faces sideways this time. The band has a hammered textured effect. It looks good alone or layer for more impact. AUD$295 each



Also new is the fork and spoon earrings, which features a skull on the spoon.

Alexander McQueen Silk Chiffon Scarves

The large silk chiffon scarves are now back in store. We have the classic ivory with black as well as the black with ivory negative. All silk chiffons have now been uploaded onto our website with detailed photos. The pashmina versions have yet to be photographed but they will be up by the weekend. Lots of new jewellery will also be uploaded in the coming days.

Alexander McQueen Punk Glove Clutch

This unique clutch has already been making waves. The "punk" stud version has just landed at Cultstatus in rock chic black. The hardware including the zippers are all tonal black. AUD$1,295

Balenciaga - New style : The Pouch

Another new style for this season. The "Pouch" is a rounded clutch with a tab closure and comes in either classic brass hardware (AUD$895)or the giant silver hardware (AUD$995). Already spotted on French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg at the screening of the movie “Antichrist".
