G-Star Launches RAW Suit Collection


RAW SUITS YOU

G-Star RAW and Pharrell Williams offer a creative and egalitarian solution to the monotony of strict office codes by launching the brand’s latest capsule collection – the G-Star RAW Suit. By taking patterns of Savile Row tailoring and applying it to the classic coverall design, the G-Star RAW Suit Collection becomes a symbol of equality and empowerment.


“Like everything we do at G-Star RAW, this collection is rooted in our dedication to finding fresh and unique takes on the every day. I love the unexpected combination of mixing traditional workwear styles with tailoring prints, but more than that I love what it represents: a democracy of fashion,” Pharrell Williams said.

The G-Star RAW Suit collection features five classic stripes and checks for both men and women. The collection is available instore and online as of now.

ICEBERGS BAR X BAG IN BOX

ICEBERGS DINING ROOM AND BAR LAUNCHES ITS FIRST BAG IN BOX COLLABORATION WITH A BIO-DYNAMIC BARBERA FROM PIEMONTE


2016 Barbera ‘Terzini’, Piemonte Italy
This is the first of several bag in box collaborations we have coming through as we endeavour to change the prejudice against cask wine. With increasing wine prices from both Europe and Australia we are looking at ways of keeping wines that are well farmed and direct from producers under ten dollars a glass. It’s getting harder to find wines that offer both good provenance, quality and value. In particular the lower priced wines tend to have an ingredients list that raises eyebrows.

This first multi vintage blend we have collaborated with is from Carussin a Piemontese producer that farms bio-dynamically, exclusively imported by Giorgio de Maria Fun Wines. It is made from 100% Barbera d'Asti predominantly from the 2016 vintage with no additions aside from a low dose of sulphur at packaging. The quality of wine is DOCG Barbera d’Asti, however we asked the producer to declassify the wine to make the price point even more accessible.

The Barbera genuinely offers a sense of place and reflects the grower who produced it, which is such a rarity in a cask wine in Australia. We are excited to offer this to our clients at $9 a glass.

“I love the idea of making great wine accessible. Anything that can make well farmed wine from revered regions such as Piemonte more affordable with less edifice the better. This bio-dynamically grown Barbera is an example of working with the farmer to reduce the footprint and costs of the wine on the way to Australia, makes the wine more affordable.” – James Hird, Group Sommelier (The Dolphin Hotel, Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, Da Orazio Pizza + Porchetta, Bondi Beach Public Bar, The Bucket List, Hotel Harry)

In addition to the Barbera we are currently working on a Rose, White and Orange wine with several producers to release in the upcoming months. It’s wonderful to begin these collaborations and hopefully break down some of the ill will against bag in box.

Bondi Beach Public Bar

 


Maurice Terzini and the team behind the Dolphin Hotel opened the doors to Bondi Beach Public Bar

on the 20th of December 2017.

In the couple of months it’s been open Gourmet Traveller, Good Food, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground and The Daily Telegraph to name a few, have all been big fans, scattering reviews, key highlight meals and what’s on articles along their pages and online webpages regularly.


BBPB (Bondi Beach Public Bar) is open 7 days a week 11am till 1am everyday (Midnight on Sundays). Taking a spin as a modern public bar and a representation of a modern day pub in 2017, tapping into the energy and attitude of 70s & 80s Australian pub culture. The Locals of Bondi are often seen at the new Family-Friendly Bar right on the stunning Bondi Beach. “It’s an ode to traditional public bars, so there are counter meals, it’s an everyday venue.” - Maurice Terzini


The Bar is a sharp, raw, contemporary space, featuring lots of grey, white, black and concrete to make an easy fuss free space.With the blank canvas of the Bar, artist Matthew Bax has created a custom installation and works by late Australian photographer Rennie Ellis ads bright life and mood around the venue.

The food heroes are namely; Pizza - romanesque, flat, crispy in style with a nod to New York and New Jersey; The “Double Patty Bondi Matty” or “Squish” burger, a rendition of a burger Monty Koludrovic made with Matty Matheson (VICE Munchies) for an event last year at the Icebergs; "Bella’s Hot Fried Chicken", a homage to good friend Morgan McGlone of Belles Hot Chicken fame; sweets to revolve around house made gelato by Icebergs Dining Room’s Jaclyn Koludrovic.


Being a bar there will also be a spin on the classic bar snacks, including Pinzimonio; Prosciutto Crochettes; Herb Polenta Nuggets, and a King Prawn Piadina with Fennel, Herbs & Seaweed.


Any pub menu wouldn’t be complete with plates like schnitzel, fish and steak. The BBPB take on these classics are: Cotoletta Alla Holstein - Crumbed Chicken, Fried Egg, Anchovy, Caper, Lemon & Rocket; Bistecchina - Black Angus Minute Steak, Proper Chips & Roasted Mushroom Sauce; Grilled Market Fish - Cauliflower Caponata, Olive, Radicchio, Dill & Lemon.

The Drinks list has taken lots of interest with its Fast and Fresh classics such as the No. 8, Negroni and a selection of Spritzes as well as Harvey Wallbangers & White Russians.

Along the Classics there is the extensive Wine list, “It’s been great fun putting together the BBPB wine list. It’s pretty wild for a Public Bar to have Latta Vino orange wine and our exclusive bottling of Cantina Giardino Terzini Anfora Rosato in the mix. We really wanted the Public Bar list to be accessible so we have sourced some cracking lo-fi wine made in the Adelaide Hills (a Sauvignon Blanc) and Pinot Grigio from the King Valley in Victoria to keep the beach-goers hydrated.” Comments James Hird, BBPB’s sommelier & drinks list creator.
