Edited by Corey Moran

I Heard They Eat Cigarettes has managed to capture my heart yet again with another amazing collection. By far one of my favorite Aussie designers (and designers in general), the brand has managed to develop another great “in your face” collection. The collection is much more complete and well versed then past collections, and I’m very excited to see this brand find its legs and begin to really take off. Be sure to check out the full collection in the gallery and on the I Heard They Eat Cigarettes website.

Just Because It’s Friday

Edited by Corey Moran

This is what I was considering doing to Daniel today!

Well Fashion Indie are big supporters of Funday Friday, and that is exactly what I had today (despite the numerous efforts by Daniel Saynt to rain on my parade). Now normally I wouldn’t talk about my daily happenings (mostly because you would realize the awesome life I pretend to live and be jealous), but when I found this picture I knew it was an omen from a higher power to tell the tale of my day’s voyage.

The day started as any normally does, dragging my exhausted carcass out of my bed and into a piping hot shower. Breakfast was standard (oatmeal and a glass of water gross!), and the trip to work was boring and cold. A quick wake up was in order before Daniel and Becks got to the office, so grabbed a Guru and poured it all over my face in the same manor a college football team would do if they won some form of championship.

All fueled and ready to go I got to blogging as fast as possible throwing up stories left and right, and working on February’s Fashion Indie Week (it’s going to be AMAZING!). I had fun re-reading the interview I did with Chris from I Heard They Eat Cigarettes (I love working with new designers, they are always so nice!).

Then the most exciting part of my day came! Our new Fashion Indie mascot dropped by for a visit. Her name is Kimmy Nibbler, she is the squirrel who lives on our balcony. She was hanging out on our screen (more pictures when we get them uploaded), so I decided to make friends and offer her some pistachios…She ran in terror and Daniel laughed at me (strike #1).

Back to work, lots of stories in such little time. As the rest of the ultra supportive Fashion Indie crew took Daniel’s side in laughing at my attempt to make a friend (strike #2), I came across this cool little DIY laptop stand made of cardboard.

In an attempt to regain my superiority in the office I grabbed some left over cardboard and got to work on my new toy. Apparently, all the logical utensils for proper office tasks don’t apply here at Fashion Indie, including scissors. I found myself risking my blogging (and thumb war) career by hacking away at the cardboard with Daniel’s switchblade…FAIL!

Finally my new toy was complete, and as I hoisted my Mac up onto the stand, it crumbled into shambles. Daniel laughed, and I considered quitting Fashion Indie and trying my luck at the failing Conde Nast.

Which brings me to now. Daniel has since given me a near brain aneurysm due to my anger and frustration (and so called “dumb” ideas), and the thought of round housing him Chuck Norris style seems quite refreshing. 

So as I sit alone under my archway of year-round Christmas lights, I leave you with this epic tale of an average Friday in the life of Corey Moran. Enjoy your weekend, and for all of you traveling home for the holidays this weekend, have a safe trip.

Thanks Flickr for the kick ass (get it!) image.

Interviews Of Fashion: I Heard They Eat Cigarettes

Edited by Corey Moran

Hey guys, I got an awesome chance to talk with Chris, the man behind I Heard They Eat Cigarettes. I had a few questions, he had a few answers, short, sweet, and to the point stright up. Hope you like it! Oh and all you dirty little indies better check out their website!

Fashion Indie: How did I Heard They Eat Cigarettes come to be? 

I Heard They Eat Cigarettes: Originally I Heard They Eat Cigarettes was going to be only jeans. I wanted to create a completely original pair of jeans with it’s own unique design features. A year or so down the track I found myself with some spare time and decided to design some shoes, and then t shirts, rings, leather hoodies and eventualy a whole range.

FI: What music is currently coming out of your speakers?

IHTEC: Operation Ivy

FI: What are your biggest inspirations? 

IHTEC: Where I live ( Melbourne ) I think Melbourne has the best fashion / music in Australia.  Because of the cold weather the kids usually have to wear layers of clothing to keep warm when they go out. One of the things that I am inspired by is what the kids are wearing on a cold night out in Melbourne.

FI: Who Is your favorite superhero and why? 

IHTEC: Fatman, cos he don’t care what nobody think.

IHTEC: clothes

Designer Discovery: I Heard They Eat Cigarettes

Edited by Corey Moran

Australian fashion is at an all time high right now, and it seems like every day I find a new designer I fall in love with. Today it’s I Heard They Eat Cigarettes. This Melbourne brand is really indie grunge rocker, and that’s is what I love about it. It’s in your face and care-free, and it makes me feel like these are people hanging out, not people modeling clothes. For more information check out their website or Myspace.
