From stylish activewear to summer dresses, jewellery and sunglasses, Prue keeps you one step ahead of the fashion flock.

GET HOT, LOOK COOL

WITH the growing activewear market, Australian swimwear brand We Are Handsome will launch its first range of workout gear next week.

The Sydney label has created six styles, including T-shirts, bralettes, shorts and leggings that will launch at Shopbop.

Founder Jeremy Somers says customers will love the new pieces, which range from $70
to $176.

“We had a great reception when we extended our offering into more active swim pieces such as rashies, so it’s a natural evolution for the brand,” he said.

The edgy prints are cool enough to wear from the gym to the cafe. And they’re made from breathable panels that are perfect for women who love everything from yoga to running.

We Are Handsome Active is available exclusively at Shopbop.com

STREET CHIC

Calling all cool hunters: Retailers have re-stocked their shelves with vintage-inspired florals that are perfect to look fresh during the hot summer months. Crop-tops, midi dresses and retro skirts are pared-down with flats, straw bags and bucket hats. It’s time to let your personality shine.

DIAMONDS AND PEARLS

JEWELLERY designer Lucy Folk sure knows how to stay ahead of the pack.

Her new fine jewellery range comes hot on the heels of the brand’s Juicy JSJ sunglass collaboration, with Julia Sarr-Jamois, and a Sugar Cube clutch range.

The new Honeymoon line, which launches next month, has quirky fluster rings, rose gold necklaces and a Cocoloko pearly palm necklace, $495.

“It’s a range of delicates with decadent jewels. Who doesn’t love to play around with diamonds and pearls?” she said. Lucyfolk.com

MADE IN THE SHADE

SYDNEY designer Kym Ellery is gearing up for a big year.

Hard at work on her new winter collection, the designer is also releasing her fourth Ellery x Graz sunglass line next week.

“It’s an exciting lead-in to a busy year,” she said.

She plans to visit Paris and New York later this month to meet buyers during sales season.
