Australia.  Home of Olivia Newton-John, Mel Gibson, INXS, Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin*. In recent years- a couple of the larger Australian cities have been home to a growing urban arts and cycling culture. On certain levels, the Aussies know whats up when it comes to style.  I think that there must be something in Fosters beer to inspire people’s creativity. Whether it be Le Pista Resistance, Fyxomatosis, Shifter Bikes, PAM, Knog, or Ashcan, there are a lot of big things coming from the smallest continent in the world.

Here we have Australian Nicole Kidman- breaking into acting with her first starring role in the 1983 film BMX Bandits. If you haven’t seen it….

Wow.  It’s… something.

Fast forward to today- there is a shop in Sydney by the name of Supply- that along with an impressive number of streetwear brands, now has a house brand by the name of Domestique. I got a sneak peek on Le Pista Resistance who says that there are many other goodies coming soon. I was impressed with what they’ve got so far:

*Author’s note: I apparently misjudged Australia’s capacity to be birthplace of individuals famous in pop culture.  Mel Gibson was not born in Australia, nor was Olivia Newton John.  Steve Irwin, Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) and INXS are however shining examples of the talent born in Australia.  Guy Pierce was born down under, as was Yahoo Serious.  So take that.  I seems that those that are raised in Australia have become “more famous” than many that were born there.
