Tailoring with a utilitarian twist, it's a pocket that sits - like a pouch - on the outside of a garment.

Featured Editorial Fashionisers about town Witchery: celebrate your style competition As if you needed an excuse to go buy some new Witchery pieces for your winter wardrobe, you now have some added incentive: launching today is Witchery's 'Celebrate Your Style' competition. Pick up two new-season pieces, style them into an outfit, and email a photo to celebrateyourstyle@witchery.com.au. If your outfit is chosen and posted on Witchery's Facebook fanpage, you'll receive a $250 gift voucher. The overall winner then takes home a huge $3,000 Witchery wardrobe. To celebrate the launch of the competition I was asked by Witchery to create some outfits of my own. Because Giang Cao (t-t-l-g.com) and I had such fun in our last collaboration together, we decided to team up again to style and photograph the outfits. We had collective visions of Chloe-esque minimalism meets retro off-the-slopes holidaywear, ending up in slim black jodhpurs, luxe knits, and retro accessories.

Australia's answer to beautiful street style photography (he publishes his work on Through the Looking Glass at t-t-l-g.com), not to mention someone you don't mind having around the kitchen (his food blog is evidence of that), I can't imagine ever passing up an opportunity to work with him. And so it was that when he asked to photograph me for a project with Australian label Mimco I was pleased to oblige. Giang's editorial is featured around one of Mimco's current-season statement necklaces, styled in three ways.
