Marcelo; Sydney

Marcelo had travelled from Brazil to Sydney for last week's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia, and with him had brought his own look, and approach to style.

His colourful look was finished off with the pink chequerboard Gola shoes you can see above, a pair of shoes which he claims are vintage, but he has had for some time.

Basically Marcelo throws nothing away, so he is ready for any fashion cycles to come back around as he has kept everything he has owned since the age of 10!

While his look is a lot bolder than something I would go for
, I loved his approach of being not so much a rampant consumer, but moreso a hoarder and collector which is pretty refreshing in this day and age.

Kicking A Gola; Sydney

The retro UK shoe brand Gola is renowned for it's classic kicks and they've been making their trademark simple, clean, and retro sneakers for decades.
This owner picked up his Gola shoes in an impulsive shopping move while overseas - he needed some kicks, bought these, and ditched his existing pair all in one swift move.
Now some 2 years later, life is anything but a holiday as he works in high end furniture retail so needs to dress smartly during the week.  But rest assured, the Golas are always there at the weekends.
Ironically I caught him in the middle of Sydney one Saturday on his way to the stores for some sneaker shopping, so by the time you read this these Golas might have been replaced in another impulsive shopping move.
