Emerging Sydney Fashion Label- Beautiful Kaos

'Beautiful Kaos' is a brand new and emerging men's fashion label, owned by young and talented Sydney local- Paulo Brito. With the launch of the summer collection about to be launched, I was lucky enough to sit down and interview the owner to find out more about this stylish new brand.

Interview Location- Coogee, Sydney
Interviewer- Kiara Reynolds
Interviewee- Paulo Brito (fashion label owner)

KR: Hey Paulo, so tell Kiki's Kloset a bit about 'Beautiful Kaos'.
PB: Beautiful Kaos is an emerging men's boutique fashion label which caters to guys between the ages of 16- 40. The label is different and unique from others in terms of the designs and fabrics. The first range is about to be launch in a few weeks, so I am very excited! I will keep you posted the launch date.
KR: What does the Beautiful Kaos range mainly consists of?
PB: The first range mainly consists of  mens tee shirts, board shorts, walk shorts, singlets, and muscle shirts. It's a really cool first range, got to start making next season soon.
KR: 'Beautiful Kaos' is an awesome name- how did you come up with the name?
PB: Beautiful Kaos is a play on words. Chaos (Kaos) can often be beautiful and vice versa.
KR: What inspired you to start the label?
PB: I wanted to start a men's label that is unique and fashionable, yet still affordable and accessible to the majority of guys.
KR: Where was BK designed?
PB: BK has all been processed right here in Sydney, which makes it a little bit more unique. I wanted it to be Australian made and owned.

I took to the streets of Sydney's hot spots to see what cool people were cruising the streets. There was never a dull moment- cafes, restaurants, funky dj's, chics on bikes, chics wearing nerd eyewear and bright pink blazers. A great place too see, and be seen!

i HEART Melbourne!

I  visited Melbourne this week and had the opportunity to take some cool photos of the beautiful and thriving city. The streets are not only filled with funky people, but also some of the funkiest bars, restaurants, cafes, and shops that I have seen in a while. I was also taken back by the amazing graffitti and art that is displayed on the walls of hidden lane ways, and also the amazing architecture around the city.
I truely heart Melbourne, it kind of reminds me of New York- edgy, contemporary, fashion-forward, and layed back (in comparison to Sydney). If you have never been to Melbourne, I suggest you go at least once in your lifetime....
So it is clear that I have a love for fashion and enjoying taking photos of street fashion. However, when I was in Melbourne a few weeks ago I wanted to focus on my other passions- which include art, culture, and lifestyle elements. Thus, I was inspired by all the amazing culture that fills the streets of Melbourne, where around every corner there is something new and exciting to see, whether it be a vibrant graffiti piece, or a beautiful building. These images I took below will give you an understanding of the Melbourne I have grown to love.

      Catching the tram can be pretty fun!

this bright red door stood out in the street like a sore thumb! but its really cool.






Louis Vuitton, nice shop but even better architecture.

'Street Fashion Sydney- UNSW Kensington'

I took to the streets of University of New South Wales (UNSW), to see what funky fashions the students were sporting. I wanted to go somewhere different with my camera, somewhere that would show us what the multicultural youth are wearing today. Because the University has such a diversity of cultures, there were plenty of fun fashions to be spotted. The day was hot and the sun was shinning, so this is what some of the students chose to wear on a hot spring day.
