Corr Blimey.

 

Who is Corr Blimey?

We are a collective of 2 likeminded people who draw inspiration from the objects and city around us to create sculptural streetwear and private commissions. Our collections always incorporate textile manipulation and unique fabric choices to give a sensory experience for the wearer.

If your latest collection, Propaganda Z (recently launched at Fashfest), could be encapsulated by one song, what would it be and why?

Propaganda Z could be encapsulated by the song 'Monument' by Royksopp and Robyn (Inevitable end remix).

The collection was inspired by the furniture of Walter Knoll and we wanted to translate this into a story of experiencing the furniture from all angles. All design is some sort of propaganda because it is sending a message. We choose furniture to serve multiple purposes not just comfort. This collection was designed to encompass all these different elements including creating textures and feelings when wearing certain pieces to emulate that of the Walter Knoll furniture.



What do you hope to achieve over the coming year for your label?

We’d like to take it interstate to a new audience, which we are with Hobart. We are always looking for the next adventure. Working with Walter Knoll was fantastic because it had so many challenges which we love. Ultimately we’d like to take Corr Blimey overseas. Maybe Hustle&Scout could go to New Zealand??

What can market-folk expect to find at the June event?

We’ll be taking both Propaganda Alpha and Z down to Hobart along with many of our other CB staples like jeans, CB Tees and Luft Ballon skirts. We will have a new range of accessories along with the new collection from Silver Atom. This will be the first time that both collections will be seen together. This is very exciting because the whole collection tells a story. The collection contains streetwear, after 5, winter coats and unique shell garments. There is something for everyone. This will be the largest collection we’ve ever offered.

What is it about Hustle&Scout Hobart that made you want to be involved?

Hustle&Scout is the ultimate fashion market in Canberra so taking it to Hobart can only mean it’s going to be great experience. Social media has enabled us to meet some of the other stall holders already and we’re looking forward to making new friends. It’s a great community of people. H&S always has a good vibes which customers love and they know that they’re going to find unique products that are often not available in regular shops. It can be very exclusive.
