Let’s get straight to the point. The mad-march effect is certainly not subsiding, with so much still happening. keeping up with Adelaide’s unabated food and bar scene has kept us on our toes this issue. Our food and news pages are packed with the latest eats and forward fashion - we also flew to Port Lincoln for the store opening of Coco California.

It’s M.J. Bale, man G iddyup, dress up, fire up for the new M.J. Bale store that has opened up on Rundle Street. The tailored-apparel brand specialises in suiting, corporate attire, deconstructed tailoring and layered separates for corporate, racewear and distinguished men of character. The Autumn 2015 campaign was shot in the rugged wild of Cradle Mountain in Tasmania and is titled, ‘Adventures of a Well-Dressed Gentleman’. The collection adds new and masculine all-weather tailored garments including military-inspired, waterresistant M-65 jackets, woollen pea coats and three-quarter-length trench coats.
With its headquarters in Sydney, M.J. Bale has grown to 20 stores nationally with 10 Myer Centre consession stores. It is also the official clothing partner of the Australian soccer team, the Australian cricket team, the Australian polo team and local NSW rugby sides.

East End Floral Market A
delaide’s flourishing East End precinct recently welcomed an exciting venture by local Adelaide florist, Justine Ellbourn. Nestled between fellow artisans, The East End Flower Market is blooming with fresh creative floral arrangements and gift ideas. Ellbourn brings a wealth of experience to her new venture with almost 10 years industry experience in South Australia, as well as working alongside worldrenowned florist Jane Packer in the UK. Bursting with new concepts, Elbourn says she needed a space to make them tangible. “I have an abundance of fresh ideas that I can’t wait to share with everyone.” The East End Flower Market focuses on the simplicity and appreciation of flora in its natural form. “We will be predominately stocking local flowers but we would like to expand on those
| 1 4 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
with unusual flowers that don’t make it into average florists. There are so many different varieties of flowers and we hope to showcase the classics but also the unique,” says Ellbourn. “I also create my own range of candles under the brand name Jsielbun which I will be stocking in store.” There’s no doubt terrariums and succulents are all the rage at the moment but Ellbourn forecasts that lush foliage is the floral trend for autumn 2015. “Flowers are beautiful, but it’s nice to appreciate some locally grown foliage available in South Australia”, she says.

Introducing
TY-LR T

hink strong, powerful, smart and feminine. Think TY-LR. Adelaide’s newest womenswear label and the latest brand under the Australian Fashion Labels auspice. TY-LR is in a league of its own. TY-LR is for the modern woman, someone who wants to make their wildest dreams tangible, excel in life and look fabulous while doing so. She is effortless, she is fearless, she is self-assured. “Tyler is one of those names you can use for men and women, and I wanted to convey something that was ultra-feminine while being completely modern and forward,” says Head Designer Chris Kontos. The label seeks to fill an obvious gap in the market, creating high quality, timeless designs crafted for any generation of women to wear and make their own. “We made sure we were able to offer pieces that would work in a ‘desk to dinner’ scenario, and will make a statement without being overbearing,” says Kontos. Following what has been labelled the AFL (Australian Fashion Labels) method, TY-LR will be releasing a complete collection each month. Kontos suggest this gives customers the opportunity to build a relationship with a label that they trust and love. With an extensive background working in all facets of the fashion industry, from the
Chris Kontos
retail floor, buying and styling, to running the marketing and creative direction of an iconic SA retailer, Kontos is undoubtedly an expert in Australian fashion. “I have known Mel and Dean (Australian Fashion Labels Directors) for many years, and have followed the company’s journey from day dot. Whilst traveling to New York for my previous job, I ran into them both at LAX airport... We spent a few hours chatting about everything we might be able to do together and here we are today,” says Kontos. “Fashion design was my first passion and it’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to design my own brand.” Inspired by past and present Dior, expect the collections to focus on tailoring, bespoke fabrication and exclusive prints. TY-LR's debut collection launches internationally this August; it’s a long wait but keep in mind… the best things are worth waiting for!

INTRODUCING
Mackenzie A GEN C Y: F i n e s s e M o d e l s
I started modelling when… I was 14. Last year I won the Finesse and IMG international model search and that’s when I was signed. When I was really young I… never really thought about modelling. I never thought that I had the looks and I was more focused on wanting to become an international rock star. Right now I’m listening to… a handful of great musicians, I like all genres of music so I don’t have a certain kind of song that I favour but a few of my favourite musicians are Fall Out Boy, Chet Faker and Jet. My favourite place to eat in Adelaide is… my home because both of my parents are such wonderful cooks and no restaurant can compare to their home cooking. My obsession is… horror movies, I love watching horror movies with some close friends in the dark. I only started watching horror movies when I was 13 but I’ve always had an interest in the supernatural and spooky. I would describe my style as… casual, comfy and classic. I believe comfort is an important key in everyday wear and it’s a great feeling to find something that you feel and look good in. Best thing about modelling is… meeting new people. When I first started out I met a girl and now she and I are quite close friends. Thanks to Finesse I have met so many wonderful people and I have some great memories and I look forward to making some new ones. Something I want to achieve is… travel. I want to travel all around the world seeing and experiencing new things. I haven’t really left Australia before so I want to go out and see what the world has to offer.

OPEN STUDIO O
pen Studio is more than your usual retail store; it’s a workshop, retail and gallery space for like-minded artists and designers to come together, collaborate and showcase their work to appreciative audiences and customers. With the environment in mind, open Studio was created by Anny Duff – designer behind Adelaide’s ethical clothing label B GOODS LABEL – to facilitate and celebrate artists and designers who engage in sustainable methods of production and employ environmentally friendly materials. “We don’t keep 9–5 shop hours but instead open at individual customers’ convenience, which works really well and allows us to focus on other work when we have no bookings,” says Duff. The studio is a blank canvas, inspired by contemporary Japanese | 1 6 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
and Scandinavian design; it is all about whiteness, timbers and greenery that allow the collections to tell their own stories. Open Studio is the HQ of Vege Threads and B GOODS LABEL. “There are also works from other local artists who use sustainable practices, and select publications including super limited edition zines from MISO,” says Duff. “We are in the process of launching our yoga nights with Naomi Keyte from JOYOGA, and for Adelaide Festival we will be exhibiting the amazing work of local photographer Tash Mccammon.”

Black There’s something in the water here in Adelaide; it seems like every few weeks we are uncovering a new designer that sets our hearts racing.
eet Natalie Ivanov, a recent Tafe SA graduate whose final collection entitled ‘Paint It Black’ received high praise from Adelaide’s fashion community, winning both the Australian Fashion Labels Award and Tafe SA Feature Award. And with a collection featuring an all-black colour palette, intricate faux leather braiding and mixing the sleek with the extravagant, ‘Paint It Black’ is clearly a winning collection. “I think my first thoughts were, ‘Ok, maybe I am kind of good at this – since the parade I have had an overwhelmingly good response to my collection,” says Ivanov. “The most exciting thing was selling my opening
| 1 9 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
piece, the ‘Paint it Black Faux leather biker jacket’, to George Gross. All these things have made me think more positively towards the future.” Inspired by music and everything 60s and 70s, Ivanov says the concept for ‘Paint it Black’ was the notion of ‘musical children’.” I was designing for famous ‘it’ girls like Pixie Geldof, Daisy Lowe and Zoe Kravitz, who were raised on rock ‘n’ roll.” For the moment, Ivanov is working on a project for the Adelaide Fashion Festivals Emerging Designer Award; She is hoping to create a collaboration collection with fellow graduate Amy Johnson.

The Black Rose A
new exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia by internationally recognised photographer Trent Parke will explore universal ideas from a deeply personal perspective. Called The Black Rose, the exhibition is neither a survey nor a retrospective but an exhibition which is a single work of art, one which has taken seven years for the artist to realise. It is the most complex and ambitious project of Parke’s career. Presented as part of the 2015 Adelaide Festival of Arts and at the Art Gallery of South Australia, The Black Rose continues until 10 May.

hey say to improve is to change and to be perfect is to change often. Taking on this idea, Adelaide’s beloved and highly sought after Cameo The Label is taking on a new life, evolving into C/MEO COLLECTIVE. Launching this April, Head Designer Siham Elmawey will take Cameo in a new and exciting direction. But have no fear, the unique aesthetic inspired by daring silhouettes, quality fabrics and directional prints that we have all come to love won’t be banished, rather enriched with innovative visions and fresh inspirations. “C/MEO COLLECTIVE has become more than just a label,” explains Elmawey. “It has come to represent a distinct form of self-expression.
In every range we use elements of modern life such as architecture, fine art and literature as inspiration – and we want to push ourselves further.” C/MEO COLLECTIVE’s vision is to move away from simply crafting beautiful garments, and instead to supply experimental designs to lead and inspire the fashion industry and future taste. C/MEO COLLECTIVE’s debut collection entitled ‘Fleetwood’ drops in stores late March. Well I know where my money is going…

SISTER ACT A little piece of Rodeo Drive in the heart of Port Lincoln.
A
t the end of 2014 something exciting started to take form in Port Lincoln. Trucks, cranes, workmen and building equipment buzzed around a storefront, and curious passers-by stopped to glimpse inside. Recently, that space opened to reveal a brand new fashion boutique, Coco California. The store has been reborn into a midcentury temple for the fashion conscious. Owners and twin sisters Rosa Sheehy and Linda Bryant have always had a propensity for retail and fashion – they opened Koko’s Shoes in Port Lincoln in the 80s and a string of popup endeavors before starting Coco California with the help from their daughters and nieces Aislinn, Stephanie and Karina. Coco carries on iconic Australian labels like Alice McCall, Michael Lo Sordo, Cameo Collective, Senso, Steele and boutique lines including For Love & Lemons, Rails and Mara & Mine – offering a range diverse in range and scope to suit everyone. Coco California took inspiration from
nostalgic memories of family trips to the US when Rosa and Linda were young. There they were inspired by the glamorous boutiques in Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive. To achieve an LAinspired aesthetic for their store, Rosa and Linda chose Adelaide agency Frame Creative to bring their vision to life, through comprehensive branding and store fitout. The all-encompassing branding was applied to the bespoke typography logo, gift-wrapping paper, carry bags, store vouchers, stickers and business cards. Frame Creative specialise in brand development, creative communication and all things digital– and was founded by three brothers – Tim, and twins Samuel and Simon, Pearce – over a year ago. The team has recently expanded with their acquisition of Miko Magni and
Dan Bitzer. After an initial scoping visit to Port Lincoln, Frame orchestrated the entire fit-out from Adelaide, and only saw the finished masterpiece at the store opening. The strength in concept, flexibility, process and partnership between Frame and Coco was conducive to its success. The façade is skinned in new striking steel-coloured mesh – imported from New Zealand especially for Coco California – making it the first exterior use in Australia. With a glass-front steel-framed French door entrance and polished concrete floor, there is a definite high-end feel as you are welcomed into the store. While its exterior identity is of modernity, time-honored traditions of handcrafted, bespoke pieces are very much alive. All the fittings and fixtures were custom designed by Simon and built by local tradesmen, including the American walnut timber joinery, the gold mirror counter, plinths, pink fabric ottomans, clothing racks and the green neon palm tree. The spacial narrative of the store is conscious, as it manages to maximize space without fully revealing itself. The fitting rooms are concealed behind the back wall of the counter, creating a secondary area with privacy. Lighting changes as you advance through the store. The large, windowfront entrance welcomes natural daylight, while warm lighting in the middle and fitting areas creates a calming emotion, implementing design beyond visual appeal. While Rosa and Linda’s family, friends and livelihood are in Lincoln, it is testament to their passion and vision that they have bought a piece of high-street LA to their very own doorstep, adding to the ever-growing buzz in Port Lincoln.

att Stuckey is an Adelaidebased illustrator and artist whose design studio, Be Friendly, is transforming the creative landscape through innovative design concepts, creative flair and ambitious yet prodigious outcomes. Whether it is creating a refreshed brand image or transforming the interior of a hotel into 45 works of art – you name the project and Stuckey’s multi-disciplinary skillset has you covered. Aside from considering careers as a fireman and astronaut when he was five, Stuckey confesses that it was never a question about what he wanted to do in life. Rather, the problem has been figuring out how to make a living out of drawing and illustration. After studying a Bachelor of Visual Communication (Illustration), Stuckey admits feeling disappointed and disillusioned. “I actually did worst in the illustration component of the course. I did better in design theory and typography courses. I learnt more about the fundamentals of design than illustration techniques, which has helped me move across disciplines with relative ease,” says
Stuckey. “It took me a couple years after university to get any passion back for illustration and design.” Nonetheless, Stuckey went on to forge a successful name for himself. “I worked for a company called Happy House, which did a lot of business in Asia, and I learnt a huge amount about product design, apparel, packaging and production processes. When I came back from living in Japan, I just didn’t think I could get a full time job in Adelaide, so through necessity I started Be Friendly and kind of found my own way from scratch.” Several years and countless successful projects later, Stuckey’s portfolio is broad and varied, encompassing everything from art direction and custom typography to illustration and public art. “I probably only do 10 percent illustration these days,” says Stuckey. “My typography and branding style is basically illustration with words, so I think it has more character. “I’m very proud of the East and Produce Progress murals on Ebenezer Place because they were so physically | 3 2 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
challenging to work on and have such presence. It is rewarding to be able to create something that becomes part of a place and part of so many people’s experience. Having a burger named after me was an unusual honour too! “I think my work is clean and minimalist. I don’t like to add anything to an artwork or design that doesn’t need to be there.” befriendly.net

Describe your occupation? We like to think we are sorcerers. What keeps you coming back to the office each day? We absolutely love the people we work with, our students and our customers. Working for ourselves gives us the flexibility and freedom to be creative. What is the studio vibe like? The studio vibe is VERY playful, energetic, open-minded, colourful and full of laughs. What keeps you motivated? Mostly we motivate each other. We listen to our students and are driven to offer products and services that excite them. We have been friends for 15 years and are like sisters. Where do you draw your inspiration from at work? Social media, travel, and engaging with like-minded interesting folk can be very inspiring. Books! We both love to read and draw much inspiration from this. Briefly describe your day-to-day routine at work? In our day-to-day routine we believe it’s super important to get in some physical activity, be it yoga, a lake walk or a beach run, and an in-season (local) cold-pressed green juice. Together, we meet daily to discuss the vision of the business and there are always a few fires that need to be put out and housekeeping to be discussed. Best industry advice? Allow your brand or business to live in alignment with who you are as a person. Stay authentic and remain humble.
What keeps you coming back to the office each day? The only word I can use is commitment, to my team and to my listeners. Breakfast radio hours can be gruelling; to do this job you have to make a real commitment. What is the studio vibe like? We have a great vibe here. There are creative people who are extremely passionate about their work; that’s always great to be around. I also work with someone who is really funny and always has a great story to tell. What helps you stay focused at work? I’m terrible at staying focused. I think expectations from my team, and generally wanting to be a part of a team that works, are what helps me push myself to stay focused. Where do you draw your inspiration from at work? I think you carry a huge responsibility when you speak to as many people as I do each morning. I feel inspired to read more, to be more educated about humans and the way people think and are. What is your day-to-day routine at work? I get in and look at things that have been trending overnight, big stories, viral videos and gossip. The rest of the day consists of post-show meetings, prep meetings for the show, meeting clients and brainstorms. What’s your favourite thing to do in Adelaide? I love going to Henley beach, doing yoga classes at North Adelaide and eating at Sean’s Kitchen. Best industry advice? Don’t give up, and be prepared to work for free when you first start. | 5 2 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
What keeps you coming back to the office each day? The lure of the next story, the idea that the next film will win a Gold Logie. Also money. What is the office vibe like? Kind of like The IT Crowd without the Lolz. What helps you stay focused at work? Ritalin and Arnotts Assorted Creams. Where do you draw your inspiration from at work? Mostly the internet. I make films about pop culture and find all my stories on Facebook and other waste-of-time social media sites. Briefly, describe your day-to-day routine at work. Internet. Internet. Work. Internet. Internet. Internet. Home. TV. Describe your occupation. I’m a filmmaker – more specifically a documentary filmmaker, even more specifically a documentary filmmaker with OCD who makes films about obsessives. What’s your favourite thing to do in Adelaide? I gave up partying after the Ultraworld 16 rave. These days I can be found drinking alone in the front bar of The Exeter and, on special occasions, eating the smoked cheese and eggplant pasta at Ruby Red Flamingo. Best industry advice? I read recently that the Nike slogan “Just Do It” was taken from the last words of a death row prisoner walking to the gas chamber.
Get Industry Connected With Media Makeup COURSES
Media Media Makeup Makeup Academy Academy NEW LOCATION OPENING For any avid makeup lover and artist, a common dream is to land a good job that can take you anywhere in the world. This rings true for Media Makeup teacher and training coordinator, Jess Bailey. While currently teaching at the Media Makeup training academy, it is also where is all started for her – completing a Diploma in Makeup there in 2002.
LevelJANUARY 2, 27 James 6 Place,2,Adelaide Level 27 James 8223 Adelaide 3233 Place, 8223 3233
After finishing her studies, Jess got a job at Studio 2000 where she was given the opportunity to dip her toes in an artistic director role – overseeing makeup, hair and the creative production of shoots. Jess has also done (and is still doing) a great deal of freelance work on the side, citing it as keeping her passion for the job alive. One of the greatest experiences in her career so far is the opportunity to work overseas as a makeup artist, which came down to the solid training she received from Media Makeup and her practice in freelance work. “The most important thing is to be proactive as well as get quality training,” Jess says. After falling in love with Ireland on an earlier trip to Europe, she sent her portfolio to the LA Creative College of Arts in Dublin where she met with the crew and joined their makeup artistry team as a trainer. Jess also dabbled in freelance work in the surprisingly large fashion scene there. After the whirlwind trip overseas she returned to Media Makeup in 2009 and has been teaching there ever since. It’s a rewarding job because she gets to pass on her knowledge and experience. “It’s always nice to see that students are following their passion and have a place in the industry when they leave us,” she says. On tips for aspiring makeup artists, she says, “practice your skills and do as much work experience as possible. Most importantly though, you have to be a good communicator!”

Nick Watt
HELLO, HANOI! I
f your knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine begins and ends with banh mi, boy oh boy do we have a treat for you. Internationally renowned chef Nic Watt’s idea for a one-of-a-kind FrenchVietnamese espresso bar and bistro has come to fruition, and so we welcome Madame Hanoi. Stepping off North Terrace into Madame Hanoi almost feels foreign because the space resembles nothing of its former self. Glance to your right and you’ll see a bespoke mural by local artist Emma Hack that stretches two storeys, but to your left you’ll see how well the nineteenth century architecture lends itself to the French-Vietnamese fusion. A mezzanine level allows you to get up close and personal with the domed ceiling and arched windows that spill natural light into the space, while the original train ticket booths remain as part of the furniture. The walls are peppered with an eclectic mix of framed photos that feel personal, like a window into Watt’s extensive travels. Madame Hanoi is all about the coming together of cultures, striking the perfect balance between the vibrancy of Vietnamese flavour and the elegance of French cuisine in a communal dining experience, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. “I know South Australians are as
passionate as I am about quality produce and big, fresh flavours,” he says. There is a focus on single origin and sua da Vietnamese coffee at the restaurant’s espresso bar entrance, which will complement the breakfast menu. As will macarons and French pastries made inhouse. Look no further than the soft-shell crab brioche coloured with squid ink (banh cua lot) or the crispy fried baby squid (muc sua chien gion). Get your hands on the crispy chicken wings with fish sauce, red chilli and mint (canh ga chien nuoc mam). If it’s the quintessential Vietnamese flavour that you’re after, you can’t go past the goi xoai du du with green mango, papaya, peanuts, coriander, chilli and lime. But for something a little more indulgent, we suggest the goi vit, a marriage of crispy confit duck, watermelon, Vietnamese mint and hoisin – don’t be fooled by the unusual flavour combination, it’s a standout! For something a bit more substantial, we suggest the ga la chanh: roasted baby chicken with chilli, lemongrass and lime leaf (served on a map of Hanoi). It sounds simple, but the subtle blend of flavours are reminiscent of street food in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Complement your meal with a choice between 12 craft and draught beers or | 6 0 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
a glass from an impressive list of local wines. If you’re feeling a little more exotic, take your pick from Madame Hanoi’s enthralling cocktail menu, or the nonalcoholic list of cleansers. We can’t get enough of the pokka with aloe, white grape and lime soda (and can you blame us when it tastes like Hubba Bubba) So from the hustle and bustle of old Hanoi, to the sophisticated boulevards of the 5th arrondissement, sit back and let the team at Madame Hanoi guide you through one of the most unique menus our city has to offer.

new café has opened in the south. Pickle in the Middle, with its curious name and “plant-centric” menu, dares to go against the grain. “We deliberately focused on including options we felt were lacking from the standard cafe fare,” says owner Karah Hogarth. “Many of the menu ideas we were playing around with featured pickles and this was particularly true of our sandwiches, which often don’t seem finished to us until there is a pickle in the middle!” With a menu that changes from day to day and is as locally sourced as possible, the team at Pickle in the Middle manage to cater for almost everyone by serving up food that is “interesting and well thoughtout, but not too preachy and food-faddy” – just straight up good food. The fit-out by Enoki, who used simple and salvaged materials, matches the uncomplicated nature of the food with its clean lines and fresh colour palette. The open-plan kitchen and dining area gives you | 6 1 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
a feel for just how fresh your food really is. The unrivalled winner on the all-day breakfast menu is the breakfast rice bowl (brown rice and red quinoa, a soft-boiled egg, avocado, radish, sesame, spring onion and gluten-free soy). In the lunch department, house-made focaccia seem to be the order of the day. Look no further than the cheese ‘n’ pickle toastie with mustard zucchini pickle, smoked mozzarella and parmesancrusted organic ciabatta. Don’t let all this talk of quinoa fool you into thinking that Pickle in the Middle is just for clean eaters… it’s so damn tasty you’ll forget it’s even good for you. Do do yourself a favour and check out what is fast-becoming a neighbourhood destination.

METRO, BOULOT, APERO
T
here is an old French saying “metro, boulot, dodo” which means, “commute, work, go to bed”. But there is a slightly different version splashed on 27 Gresham Street – “metro, boulot, apero” “commute, work, have a drink”. And that’s exactly what the establishment inside is all about. La Buvette Drinkery is the brainchild of Dominique Lentz, who moved to Australia from Alsace,France, nine years ago. Lentz wanted to introduce Adelaide to the concept of a contemporary French aperitif bar, with a twist, by serving only natural wine sourced locally imported from France. Lentz hopes that his latest venture will chip away at the stereotypes we so often associate with French people. “When people hear French, they think expensive, arrogant or cliché,” says Lentz. “But that’s not the vibe we want to bring… it’s going to be what’s being done in France these days.” In keeping with that, Enoki has been instrumental in transforming the blank space
that Lentz fell in love with into a little slice of Paris. Keep an eye out for some of its original features, like the old jarrah beams that make up the ceiling and an exposed brick wall that preserves the charm of the heritage building. For something really authentic, try a glass of pastis, an ouzo-like liquor from the south of France, mixed with water and served over ice. Another good choice is something a little bit sweeter – kir – a combination of blackcurrant liquor and either white wine or champagne. In the way of wine,
La Buvette will rotate between 25 natural wines, with 10 being offered by the glass at any one time. The idea behind an aperitif bar is to bring people together, so grab a friend and take a walk on the West End. Let the team at La Buvette give you an experience like no other in Adelaide. 27 Gresham St, Adelaide Labuvettedrinkery.com

Perched eight floors above the iconic Westpac building, boasting striking 180-degree views from the spectacular Adelaide Hills to the pristine coastlines, with the lush gardens of Government House, St Peter’s Cathedral and the SAHMRI building in between, there’s no doubt 2KW Bar and Restaurant is Adelaide’s newest and most

Entering 2KW, your eyes can’t help but be drawn to the many facets that make 2KW unique; from the unspoiled views to the clean and minimalistic fitout designed by renowned interior architect Claire Kneebone. 2KW office five individual spaces: The Restaurant, Loggia Bar, The Terrace, The Cabanas and The Garden.

And for those who like to indulge in a cheeky alcoholic beverage now and then, there’s no need to look any further than 2KW. There are lavish cocktails, refreshing ales and the unique ‘Barrel Thieves’ – a selection of exclusive wines from local winemakers. “We called them Barrel Thieves because it was almost as though we have ‘stolen’ these unique small batches of wine,” says co-owner Martin Palmer. Located in the heart of Adelaide, 2KW is the kind of place to sit back and enjoy what’s important in life – good food, good booze and good company.

We had a vision for a great craft beer, a beer that everyone can enjoy, a beer that we enjoyed.

SPIRITS I
t says a lot that someone who has pioneered a throng of successful bars in Melbourne to returns to his roots in little old Adelaide. The introduction of the small bar licence has lured Marcus Motteram to do just that, and, needless to say, his new haunt on the West End is one to watch. With the belief that Adelaide is on the cusp of greatness, Motteram decided to make his mark, and so Hains & Co. dropped anchor in the CBD. “I wanted to do a small bar in Adelaide that paid homage to all the things I love – old historical buildings, gin, rum, family and hospitality,” says Motteram. The nautical look stemmed from Motteram’s first loves in the “wonderful world of spirits” – gin and rum – which are both steeped in maritime history. Expect nothing less than a 1250kg anchor, brass portholes and a bar that once made up part of the Largs Bay jetty. Not to mention the mix of maritime memorabilia! Offering 25 gins and rums respectively,
Hains & Co. has a passion for local and imported products. West Winds is the winner on the gin front (a good choice is the Sabre or the Cutless), while The Botanist is said to be a rollercoaster botanical odyssey in a glass. In true maritime fashion, the menu started simply with planks of meats and cheeses by Barossa Fine Foods and Say Cheese with (the coulommiers truffe is the star of the show). But we have it on good authority that the signature house-made sausage rolls with spiced shiraz and black pepper chutney is a must-try. “From top hat to high vis, a smile is all you need to wear,” says Motteram.

Method 1. Combine all ingredients for Champagne Air into a large container and hand blend until foamy. Set aside. 2. Combine lychees, lychee juice, rose monin & sugar syrup into shaker.

Clever Choc Fancy Ices
W
hen science and desserts mix, it can either create a disaster or a delicious mouth-watering miracle. Thankfully the masterminds behind Adelaide newest dessert bar, Fancy Ices, have created the latter. Fancy Ices is Adelaide’s first ice creamery to use liquid nitrogen to create made-to-order ice creams. This mindboggling concept is created by mixing an ice cream base with –196-degree liquid nitrogen, creating a smooth and creamy mixture right before your eyes. But don’t worry – liquid nitrogen is

Asian bar with an Aussie twang
K
enny Wang’s is a new container bar on Wright Street. It has a indoor dining area and beer garden offering a range of delicious dumplings, small plates, Asian inspired cocktails and premium Australian craft beers. Kenny Wang’s is crafted from an old shipping container which create an industrial-like space with an intimate and lively outdoor area. Perfect for balmy summer nights or a post-work bite, the atmosphere is casual and convenient. The menu embraces the best of modern Asian cuisine along with the finest and freshest local produce, and everything is made in house. According to Damien of Kenny Wangs the crab, ginger and shallot dumplings are a must try, already proving a favourite with customers. Complementing the menu is a range of Australian small batch brews, exotic cocktails and saké.“The most popular drink is either the ‘Bin Wang’,
which is a rice beer that we had brewed for the bar, or the house-made ginger peach iced tea cocktail that we have put on tap,” says Damien. “Being on Wright Street, we are surrounded by good Asian restaurants and eateries. What was missing was a place where you could enjoy this food along with a good craft beer in a chilled out, outdoor setting, which is what Kenny Wang’s is all about.” It is well-worth checking out the large scale artwork painted by local street artist and graphic designer, Gary Seamen. At this stage, it's not clear how long Kenny Wang’s will be open for, so our advice is to take full advantage of it while it's here.

Round of Applause She’s known for her roles in films such as 2:37, December Boys and Warm Bodies but this time around, Adelaide girl Teresa Palmer is taking a bold and adventurous leap into the independent filmmaking industry, proving her talents stretch far from just acting in front of the camera. Along with actor, screen writer, director and husband Mark Webber, Palmer confronts issues typically ignored or simplified by mainstream production studios.
| 7 2 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
E
ntitled The Ever After, this beautifully crafted independent film delves into the confronting and sometimes dark world of mental illness. Written, produced and performed by Palmer and Webber – along with guest appearances by their nearest friends and family – the film takes a raw and uncensored look into how mental illness impacts the lives of individuals and relationships. To outside eyes, main characters Ava and Thomas lead ‘complete’ lives. They have a beautiful child, close friends and family and a home in sunny Los Angeles, but in reality they each struggle to overcome the temptations and challenges of everyday life and marriage, and fail to communicate their mental and physical desires. Violent and polarizing at times, Palmer and Webber also explore the complex and unassuming dark nature of relationships and sex, and the way people use sex for manipulation. This is a stark contrast to the generic film industry that glorifies sexual intimacy and portrays realtionships as idealistic. True to its independent film status, The Ever After is going straight to consumers and can be directly downloaded from the film's official website. We caught up with the talented, insanely beautiful and ambitious Teresa Palmer to talk all about her new movie, motherhood and surprisingly… Port Power. Are you really a fan of the Port Adelaide Football club? I also heard you’re the conumber one ticketholder? What does the club mean to you? Yes absolutely! I’ve been going to Port Games since the Power entered in to the AFL. Prior to that I attended all of the Port Magpies games with my dad, Kevin. Yes, I believe I’m a number one ticket holder alongside Kochie. Port is a wonderful team and I’m proud to know that my sons Bodhi and Isaac (my stepson) will grow up avidly supporting them too. Bodhi’s first birthday cake is Port Power themed!
I read somewhere that you hooked up with your now-husband via Twitter – is that true? Yes! Twitter brought us together. I saw his film The End Of Love and tweeted to my followers and added his Twitter handle in there. He started following me and after we both did some Google stalking we realised we had so much in common and started emailing. We fell in love over email after emailing for 40 days. What were the ups and downs of working so closely with your coproducer and husband, Mark Webber? The ups were just being creative with one another and watching each other work so intimately on our passion project. I fell deeper in love with Mark during the process. I could recognise what an extraordinary film he was making. The downs were just getting in to the emotional brutality of these characters and taking it there.
"Acting is a passion of mine but it trails behind my passions about natural parenting and motherhood, selfdevelopment and spiritual work."
Mental illness is a very tough subject for many, yet it is extremely common. Did you need to do research into mental illness for the role of your character? I’ve had tons of experience with mental illness in my life. I know it very well. I grew up with a mentally ill mother and a lot of my family members suffer with it, so it has always been around me and is a world I’ve been fully immersed in. It was really therapeutic in many ways delving in to this theme and getting to the core of my feelings surrounding it. You’re internationally recognised for your work these days, but reading through all your bios and watching old films, you seem endearingly down to earth. How does the real Teresa compare to the glamorous, red-carpet-ready Teresa we so often see in the press? The red carpet 'Teresa Palmer' is certainly a character. It’s lovely to get glammed up and wear a pretty dress but ultimately I don’t go to many events because it’s not really me. I’m much more of a homebody and it’s very important to me to never lose sight of that. I married a man that’s very in line with that same philosophy which keeps me grounded. Being a mum also keeps you with a healthy perspective. I don’t seek validation through my job; I only seek it from within. Keeping that in check really helps me feel clear and truthful to myself. Do you have other passions other than acting? Absolutely! Acting is a passion of mine but it trails behind my passions about natural parenting and motherhood, self-development and spiritual work. Wellness of the mind and helping to ease the suffering of animals is another strong passion. It’s wonderful that through my work as an actor I’m able to explore all of these other passions simultaneously. Mark and I always say that our life mantra is “be the change you wish to see in the world”. We are actively using our profiles to effect positive change in the world.

Oliver White O
liver White might be a new name to Adelaide music lovers, but rest assured it belongs to a familiar face. As one third of minimalist R&B group Swimming, the artist otherwise known as Angela Schilling has shared stages with everyone from Chet Faker to Oscar Key Sung. Over the last 12 months a few twists of fate saw Schilling branch out on her own, first providing the score for several dance and film projects and now embarking upon her first solo record. “It came together very quickly and unexpectedly – I wrote and recorded the tracks over the space of about five weeks,” Schilling explains. “A close friend passed away in late 2014 and I felt a strong push to make something cohesive, and it’s nice to finally realise in practise that music really is my heart and guide.” The result is a raw seven-track EP that ebbs and flows with delicate swells of guitar and stripped-back vocal harmonies. Recorded to tape with engineer and musician-about-town Tom Spall (Leader Cheetah, Doe, Wireheads) the album has an intimacy and spontaneity about it that’s all analogue, right down to the drum machines. “It wasn’t firstly in my mind to record to tape, but I am so grateful for it – the process feels so natural and organic, and there are subtleties with tape that make you understand music and sound on a whole new level,” she says. “I’ve been so involved in an electronic music world in the past few years, to return to something so organic – and outside of a ‘trend’ – feels good for the heart,” she says. “I also wanted to keep it raw and relatively unedited, and tape lends itself to that.” To bring Oliver White to life, Schilling and Hobart-based collaborator Sam Nicholson decamped to the tiny Adelaide Hills hamlet of Summertown. In the footsteps of Bon Iver, Nebraska-era Springsteen and the Kerrigan family’s Bonnie Doon pilgrimages, getting away from the big smoke proved just the tonic.
“We did it over three days in late December, and the seclusion was one of the most important parts of the process, no doubt – I don’t think the EP would sound the same had it been recorded in the city. I think it gave something to the space on the record, and a feeling of calm and sentiment. And maybe the vocals sound different because of all the roadside cherries we ate.” On tracks like Pacify, droning organ and gradually building vocal layers bear the influence of Schilling’s more ambient soundtrack work. It was contributing to dance production Bekitzor and ABC doco The Agony of Ecstasy that provided the impetus to trust her solo ambitions. “Those scoring projects have given me so much confidence in working by myself, and having faith that my decisions are right,” she says. “This is my first solo project and I’m glad I had those projects in the bag for confidence.” And with a new solo project comes a new, gender-obfuscating identity equally inspired by family ties and a love of simplicity. “Olive is my Nana’s middle name, so it’s derived from that,” she says. “White just sounds nice, like a blank page or clouds.” The EP is set for a release via Melbourne cassette label Healthy Tapes, the passion | 7 4 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
project of Victorian musician Leigh Hannah. “I am inspired on a daily basis by Leigh’s work ethic, his attitude towards a DIY culture and community, his support of artists who maybe feel vulnerable or like they don’t ‘fit’ into a particular scene, his love of nature and his Instagram colour palette,” she says. “He’s been a friend for a while and there is no better way to release music to the world than with your friends.” With Swimming working towards a follow-up to their 2013 debut Yes, Tonight, Oliver White née Schilling is enjoying the new luxury of having a second outlet. “It’s definitely more personal than any project I’ve ever undertaken, and for that it feels more rewarding than ever.”

Collaboration Nation Whether it’s Peter Gabriel getting inspirational with Kate Bush or Jay and Bey’s matchmaking single ’03 Bonnie and Clyde, musical collaborations are the spice of life. We’ve collected four sweet local guest spots that prove sometimes a few extra cooks actually make for some pretty delicious musical broth.
S parkspitter x S wi mm ing Bascient Before they played Laneway Festival in February, math-rock trio Sparkspitter perfected their inventive instrumental sound with the release of their debut album Technê. On lead single Bascient the band explore wholly new territory as they collaborate with sisters Katie and Angela Schilling of Swimming to create the band’s first vocal-driven song. The siblings’ unsurprisingly smooth vocal harmonies perfectly complement the band’s spidery guitar work, nimble bass and stop-start drumming. soundcloud.com/sparkspitter
Joy S parkes x Lone lyspeck You Were Not Enough A dream pairing of two prolific voices among Adelaide’s experimental scene, You Were Not Enough matches producer/singer Lonelyspeck’s
penchant for, reverb-soaked atmospheres and beats with Joy Sparkes’ethereal charisma. Sparkes is no stranger to collaboration, previously appearing as part of free-form electronic trio Question Question and lending her voice to tracks by K21. soundcloud.com/joy-sparkes
W est Thebarton B rothe l PARTY Glenn McGrath Sometimes less is more, but as West Thebarton Brothel Party prove, rampant excess is occasionally just as good. With members from TEA, Horror My Friend and Archers, the WTBP are currently Adelaide’s sharpest, loudest and largest garage-rock super group. Written when Glenn McGrath was best known for his aim on the cricket pitch rather than the African savannah, this NSFW track celebrates McGrath’s legendary on-field pairing with Shane Warne. Strewth.

T
he biggest event to arrive in Adelaide is just around the corner and it guarantees to leave jaws dropped, hearts racing and goosebumps galore. We are talking about the enigmatic masterpiece that is Le Noir, a truly unique and electrifying theatrical experience that challenges the norms of human abilities and leaves audiences holding their breath. Premiering in Adelaide on 22 April at the iconic Festival Centre, Adelaide audiences will be enthralled by this captivating production direct from a sold-out international tour. For the first time ever, the Festival Theatre will be transformed by a custom-built stage, offering a spectacular 360-degree view of the performance, bringing the exhilarating action closer than ever imaginable. Presented by Adelaide Festival Centre in association with Tim Lawson & Simon Painter, Le Noir features twenty of the world’s greatest and freakishly talented circus performers, including world-class acrobats, specialty entertainers and comedians who all display ridiculous spectacles of balance, contortion, stamina, aerial artistry and death defying tricks. Besides being the focal piece of this production, they will also leave you thankful for your 9-5 job and that you’re sitting in the
Le No ir audience rather than on stage. Le Noir is best described as Cirque du Soleil after dark; it encompasses that cutting edge production and artistry we have come to expect from Cirque, while deviating from the norm to pleasantly and playfully endeavor into a more personal, detailed and intimate encounter with the mystical world of Cirque. This proximity breaks the barriers between spectator and artist, creating a raw, surreal and at times hilariously risqué experience. Le Noir cleverly explores emotions through colours, using them as signifiers and symbols exploring varying moods and states of being. The cast transform | 7 6 At t i t u d e M a g a z i n e |
from beautiful and pure white, the passion of red and finally to the darkness of Le Noir. We can’t forget to highlight and appreciate some of the serious talent this production has to offer; from Chilly and Fly (an incredible duo with super human spatial awareness allowing them to traverse the boundaries of light, hand-tohand, feet-to-feet), The Colombian Wheel of Death (which sees two acrobats perform high-risk feats atop and inside a pair of spinning wheels rotating high above the stage), and the enchanting Elena Gaitlova (an aerial hoop artist and former rhythmic gymnastics World Champion who performed in over 2500 shows in Cirque Du Soleil’s Zumanity). Tickets for this insanely captivating production can be purchased through the Adelaide Festival Center website, where you can choose between a variety of entertainment and dining packages.

Alec and Danni
A
Gorgeous couple with a goregous home, Alec Hall and Danni Harris invited us into their abode – a beautifully converted shop in the Kensington area. When they found their now charmingly decorated home, it was being used as a storage area and hadn’t been lived in for years. On the corner of the strip is the former site of the old Rising Sun Inn – which is the namesake for the now worldfamous and Academy Award nominated Rising Sun Pictures – and adjacent to their house are identical shop fronts, which are now all residential houses and share an incredible South Australian history. Their particular slice of the building was once a local milliner and now, after numerous conversions, it has become the couple’s dwelling. The conversion has seen the space become an inviting and homey area. Hard wood floors and ornate doorframes are the first features to stand out on entering the home. However, the drawing points are the original fireplaces peppered throughout the house and that hard-to-miss spiral staircase. What really gives the house its character is the vintage furniture and knick-knacks on display throughout. The artwork on the wall is Alec’s own handiwork and most of their furniture is from second-hand stores. Both Danni and Alec mention their similar tastes when it comes to decorating, which made it easier when they moved in together and started collecting. Their ultimate aim was to make the space their own and representative of who they are both separately and together – and they’ve definitely achieved that.

Schweppes Oaks Day – or better known as Ladies Day – will kick off the Adelaide Racing Carnival with a day of fashion and fun, and of course, thoroughbred racing.
