CAMEO
Fleetwood Photography - GRETL WATSON-BLAZEWICZ Makeup - SAMANTHA VLASSIS
A rich palette of sky blue, ruby and tan inspires a ‘70s vibe in Cameo’s Fleetwood collection, with structured silhouettes adding a modern twist to traditional relaxed fits. Dare to make a statement in silk separates, or mix and match prints. Empowering, clean and elegant, Fleetwood reignites the feeling of the feminist revolution for modern women.

FLOAT
Finders Keepers Photography - GRETL WATSON-BLAZEWICZ Makeup - MILLIE HERD
The weightlessness of independence inspires Float, where clean florals, thick stripes and pastel tartans offer endless possibilities and the freedom of interpretation. Culottes and jumpsuits make empowering statements, while contrast piping and prints deliver a bold outline to a light, unrestricted collection. Statement prints, strong silhouettes and flirty colours - Float is as uplifting as quiet moments spent alone by the water.

Keepsake Photography - GRETL WATSON-BLAZEWICZ Makeup - SAMANTHA VLASSIS
As humans we continue to expand our knowledge, constantly evolving and transforming. Formation is a cohesion of feminine stand-alone pieces and smart separates – think sleek leopard next to delicate floral print; intricate lattice and frills contrasting classic shapes. Featuring multipurpose rompers and minis alongside elegant maxis and co-ordinates, it is an immaculate collection catering to the ever-changing needs of the wearer.

THE WAREHOUSE
The Fifth Photography - GRETL WATSON-BLAZEWICZ Makeup - SAMANTHA VLASSIS
Steel blues, pops of neon and placement prints catch the eye when exploring The Warehouse. The Fifth Label’s latest collection uses a marine palette in relaxed fits and cropped sets for a sporty, fresh finish. Furthermore, pairing with bleached denims adds universal appeal and versatility. For those dressing inside – or outside – the box, The Warehouse has it stocked.

Behind The Lens
Adelaide expat James Hartley was the man behind the lens of our BNKR x FK FIT shoot, captured high up in the New York skyline. BNKR chats with the photographer about dream collabs, selfie sticks and the best place to grab breakfast in NYC.
Age: 29 Place of birth: Adelaide, Australia. Current Location: Brooklyn, New York. Instagram: @hartleyphoto
Why did you make the move to the US? I’ve always dreamt of living and working in New York, so when the opportunity presented itself, I had to take it. Australia will always be home, but I’m enjoying the change of scenery. How did you get into photography? Through skateboarding; filming friends and reading skate magazines. What was the first camera you ever used? Probably a waterproof disposable camera on the Yorke Peninsula when I was in school. How did you move into fashion? Charlotte and Simone from Attitude Magazine approached me about shooting an editorial for them about two years ago. It was something new and different; I did it. I enjoyed it. Working with a team to create an image or a look is something that really resonates with me. What camera do you always carry with you? Fuji x100s – it’s the perfect walk around. Dream location? Just moved to it! Describe your feeling when you’re behind the lens? Happy...to not be in front of it. Whose work do you admire most? Bill Cunningham. Bill Murray. Barnacle Bill. Ultimate collaboration? Would love to work with Daft Punk on something. Anything. Please. Soundtrack when you’re shooting? At the moment it’s D’Angelo - Black Messiah. Do you use filters? Strictly selfie sticks.
best in nyc: Coffee: Cafe con leche from Le Major. Bar: Kingston Hall. Bossa Nova Civic Club. Hungover breakfast: Champs Diner. Anywhere with bottomless Bloody Marys. Place for hangs: Summer - McCarren Park; skateboarding and beers. Any rooftop. Rockaway Beach. Winter - my studio. Los Hermanos. The fireplace at Kingston Hall. Touristy spot: Walking Williamsburg Bridge. Neighbourhood: Bushwick or Alphabet City. Photographer: Kalen Hollomon.
when you’re travelling: Hostels or hotels: Hotels. Backpackers are weird. First thing you do when you land: Smoking Area. Cars, planes or trains: Planes. Suitcase essentials: Beard brush. Solo or with friends: Friends. 100%.
favourites: Type of photo to shoot: The candid ones. Time and place scenarios. Destination: One with friends. Maybe I’m homesick. Places to shoot in the US: You can’t beat the light in L.A. New York is amazing, although it’s cold as shit right now. Anywhere with interesting people. Middle America is something... Way to unwind: Skateboarding.
Editorial shoot for Cameo The Label’s Backroads collection.
D E S T I N AT I O N: COACHELL A Two weekends. Six days. Hundreds of artists. And endless outfit opportunities. We’ve got you covered.
