SASS & BIDE (Australia) Embellished Maxi Dress

One of Australia’s most respected and loved fashion labels, Sass & Bide is the namesake label of Sarah-Jane Clarke (Sass) & Heidi Middleton (Bide). These best friends broke the rules, followed their hearts and today enjoy international success.

The sense of free-spirited confidence and contradiction that defines the designing duo’s style is evident in this free-flowing, eclectically embroidered (and very expensive!) maxi dress. Keep your accessories to a minimum to ensure the embellishment pulls focus. At most, give it a wanderlust touch with gladiator sandals and simple cuffs.

(RRP US$795 / £560)

Be sure to showcase the cutout front and back with a sleek updo.

SASS & BIDE (Australia) Printed Leggings

Some adore them while others may not appreciate them as passionately, but leggings are still around and they are clearly here to stay. So now it seems the big question isn’t “Should I buy some?”; the question is “Why don’t I have it already?!” and “Which type should I buy?” :-D
These sassy “Printed Cages” leggings -from leading Australian label Sass & Bide- will add a fun twist to any black/ivory/neutral colour tee or tunic. For the more adventurous fashionistas, you might even like wearing them as an extra layer under dresses and shorts.


As you may have noticed, many designers have added printed leggings to their 2011 collections.


On and off the runways, leggings have evolved from basic black to sport every colour and print.


Rihanna and Nicky Minaj (Trinidadian hip hop and R&B artist-songwriter) are of the firm opinion that printed leggings are compatible with all body types.


ABOUT SASS & BIDE
Sass and Bide, one of Australia's most prominent contemporary street- and pop culture-inspired fashion labels, is the story of two Brisbane friends Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke. The name Sass & Bide is a fusion of the ladies’ nicknames (Sarah-Jane = Sass, Heidi = Bide). The label was founded when the pair lived in London and sold their clothes at the Portobello markets. In the cut-throat world of fashion design, it is a testament to the talent and tenacity of the pair that they are still creating clothes together, better friends than ever, and that their label continues to be an international success, with 16 boutiques in Australia, hundreds of stockists worldwide, and a rollcall of celebrity fans.
