SHABOOSH VINTAGE GLAMOUR
FOR MODERN WOMEN

Vintage glamour reaches exciting new levels with the inaugural launch of new Australian womenswear label, Shaboosh. Launching for Spring Summer 2008/09 this luxury label is influenced from a time when couture and beautifully constructed garments were every woman's staples. The collections are inspired from the 40s', 50s' and 60s', creating styles that evoke feelings of nostalgia and timeless elegance.

Shaboosh is the non conformist label rebelling against the current trend for throw away fashions that are worn for a week or until they fall apart in the wash. Each garment is meticulously constructed using exacting standards and classic tailoring methods. The fabrics are sourced from all over the world and include fine silks, butter soft cashmere, cool cottons and dreamy wools. Shaboosh collections are timeless, classic, investment pieces, the sort of garments you will treasure forever and pass down to your daughters.

The Spring Summer 2008/09 Shaboosh collection is divided into five main ranges. The first, ‘Youthquakes' is a collection of fitted 60s' panel mini dresses, in silk and silk, wool blends. Panels of retro prints, delicate lace and fabrics embossed with droplets of bronze, flatter and bring out the Mary Quant in you. ‘Uptown Savvy' is sex kitten tailoring, masterfully cut and form fitting power suiting and skirts, for a sexy but serious look, with a touch of flirtation. Fabrics include soft silk and cashmere in dusky rose, dramatic black with red trim and delicious caramel. ‘Feminine Chic', is whimsical 40s' style tea dresses that look like a New York vintage store find, garment gems that Carrie Bradshaw would treasure. Form skimming Jackie O style dresses in soft linens, silk and wool are available in dragonfly prints in Prussian blue, emerald, black, cream and tangerine spice, perfect pieces for high tea or summer strolls. ‘Shaboosh Exclusives' and ‘Silk Siren's', include 70s' vibrant floral dresses, silk plaid shorts and cat suits with a hint of Jane Birkin. There are also super-cute Bloomettes, shorts and pantaloons in chintzy floral's and flannette stripes. These truly unique pieces are Shaboosh exclusives for non conformist girls with their own style.

"We created Shaboosh from a life long passion for all things vintage. We look to a time of lasting fashion, a time when clothes were investment pieces and built to last. We find inspiration from antique wallpapers, old prints and op shop finds and blend them with the style of iconic times, people and places. Our collections take inspiration from the passion of Paris and Italy, the Carnaby Street of the 60s' and the New York of Studio 54. We look to the style of iconic women with gumption, such as Bridget Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy and Grace Kelly," said Shelia Sarra Lead Designer for Shaboosh.

The range includes gorgeous mini dresses, suits, shorts, and dresses available in sizes 6 to 14 and prices start from $69.00 to $600.00. There are also essential accessories including cute hats, jewellery and bags to compliment the Shaboosh style. The entire Shaboosh collection can be purchased online at www.shaboosh.com and can be shipped worldwide. The Shaboosh flagship store is planned to open with the launch of the second collection around October / November.

Each Shaboosh garment is an investment piece carefully crafted using luxurious fabrics and traditional garment construction methods. The collection is designed in Australia and manufacture in Australia and overseas, in the same factory and to the same premium quality controls as highly respected international labels Feraud, Guy Laroche, GR and L'Officiel. Shaboosh is vintage style for modern women who expect a little more.

Shaboosh's boutique clothing is available online at www.shaboosh.com
and a planned flagship Shaboosh store is set to open in October / November 2008, in time for the new collection launch.
