> What’s on Strummer?

My blog-a-log as been down for a while. And I was meant to post this interview about a month and a half ago. But couldn’t due to cyberspace suction. So. I’m presuming that Weenie & Gina’s playlist has been updated. And they’ve had their Strummer drinks. But what hasn’t changed is how hot their range is. Gina and Edwina (AKA Weenie) met, fell in love and started designing sexy clothes together. Oh sorry. Not lesbian love. Fashion love. ‘We have a very similar aesthetic and both share a love of vintage clothing, music and art; we gave each other the confidence to just get started and go for it.’

They began by making a range available to family & friends and then in A/W 2009 they launched their first line titled ‘along the path and’. It’s available in store at Ourmishmash, Bracewell Penny Arcade (NSW), Violent Green, Meow Meow (QLD) and Emporia (WA). And ONLINE at The Grand Social. But now, down to business.
