Yvan Rodic; Sydney




So, as many of you will know Sydney had the world's collective fashion eye upon it last week with MBFWA hitting town.
It brought all manner of industry leaders to town, including the ever growing blogging community who have without doubt become a mainstay of fashion weeks around the world.
One of the big hitters is Yvan Rodic; aka. Facehunter.  He is without doubt blogging royalty and his work puts him in the fastlane of globe trotting fashion shooters.  He can be in 2/3 countries a week and clocks up over 432,000km per year - so when he looks for shoes he needs something that is comfortable and lasts.
He picked up these shoes in Lisbon, Portugal after stumbling upon the brand Eureka while out there.  The first attraction was the fact that Portugese shoe making has a well known quality about it, secondly, as he always dresses in blue and white, the colour of the shoes offers an injection of colour to his looks.
A really lovely guy, it was great to meet Yvan and if you're in Melbourne and Kazakhstan keep your eye's peeled as they are his (and his beloved Eureka shoes) next destination.
You can check out Yvan's personal site here, and the Facehunter blog here, and I also recommend his latest book; A Year in the Life of Fachunter by Thames and Hudson.

Blinding Shoes; Sydney




This sneaker find has a globe-trotting International flavour to it; I met Frederico in Sydney at Bondi Beach but he was born in Mozambique, raised in Portugal, before moving to Brisbane, then settling in Bondi. Phew!
Frederico seems to love drawing on his travels for inspiration; he's a musician about to launch a site on Cargo Collective called 'Maputo' which is an experimental type of music named after the town he was born in Mozambique.  And his sneakers also draw on his travels, as they were purchased in the city he first arrived at in Australia; Brisbane at the fantastic sneaker store Laced (see more here).
Fred has a cool look that brings some well co-ordinated colour together with a great summery vibe, which is all the more amazing as he told me that he's colour blind.
