through the rest of july and all of august we will continue with still life summer hours, staying open until 8pm on wednesdays, thursdays & fridays.

complimenting our our early spring delivery comes additional summer 2010 pieces from the creative minds & hearts of jenny graham and toni spencer: a colourful, inspiring collection from velvet & 39 sixtyone.

velvet, long known for ultra soft tees and jersey/slub dresses, arrives today with some stunning wraps, tanks and river dip dyed scoop neck tees (think james pearse with more colour & ruching).

39 sixtyone, a difusion line from the graham & spencer signature line offers the same high quality, ultrasoft pieces produced in the same LA-based factories as its sister lines, but at a more affordable pricepoint. the varied selection for summer offers clean, strong colours (tree green, lake blue) and stunning dip dyed tanks & dresses.

graham & spencer, velvet and now 39 sixtyone are some of the most wearable items we carry on the women's side of still life - worn with ease and beauty by girls sixteen to sixty-five years old. come down this week and see what they're offering as the rain evaporates and the sun returns to the garden city.

jenny graham and toni spencer, designers and creators of velvet, long known for its t-shirts and dresses, introduced a luxury collection called "graham & spencer" in fall 2006. their focus is on new shapes and contrast of textures, materials include soft, light-weight fleece contrasted with silk charmeuse, silk habotai, and feather weight laundered wools.

jenny graham explains, "we've been feeling that there is a real void in the marketplace for this kind of loo: something contemporary, luxurious, yet young and hip at the same time."

both spring 2010 collections including a variety of styles are available now at still life in victoria.
