Moxie Minx

Moxie Minx is Adelaide, Australia’s sauciest new vintage-inspired clothing line for contemporary pin up girls with a bit of rockabilly flair.

Blossoming bombshells, glamour gals and modern day sex kittens can buy completely original, flirtatious, 1950s style apparel spiced up with a hint of burlesque and sewn with the highest quality fabrics by professional seamstresses at their online shop while eagerly awaiting their presence in brick-and-mortar stores around the globe.

From their distinctive “Hello Buoys” nautical-themed wiggle dress and pencil skirt line for vintage sailorettes to their “Choose Your Own Gidget Playsuit” outfit in custom fabrics of your choosing, Moxie Minx clothing is classic, timeless and distinctive with a bright and cartoon-y style perfect for pin up designs. Black and white or red and white polka dots, skin-tight tiger print skirts and nautical stripes and buttons, all such a staple in mid-century women’s clothing styles, find a refreshingly new yet authentic presentation in all Moxie Minx clothes.

Cute and fitted sailor shorts, curve-enhancing halter tops, boleros, faux stoles, and skin-tight pencil skirts like the “Burlesque Bump” in black organza ruffles on the derriere and a big red bow on top will draw everyone’s eyes to the retro ladies wearing them and are tops in comfort and construction. Their garments cost from $50.00 to over $200 in Australian dollars, a reasonable price purview for original designs and high quality fabric and construction. For international shoppers they provide a link on their site to a currency converter to help customers determine if they are within budget lines.

Currently, Moxie Minx is exclusively available from their online shop of the same name, although further expanded distribution is in the works as evidenced by their up-and-coming stockist’s page. Their sizing chart is in centimeters with inches coming soon, and custom sizing and minor alterations are available upon request for a slight additional fee. Exchanges shipped at the buyer’s expense within 10 business days of the item leaving their Australian HQ are available; returns, however, are not accepted. Shipping costs vary by destination location and Moxie Minx accepts most major credit cards and PayPal and aims to ship orders within 10 days, both within Australia and internationally.

Miss Hussy Clothing

Miss Hussy Clothing

Miss Hussy Clothing was established and created by Hayley Stoneham in Adelaide, Australia, where she studied fashion and business management. Her largest fan was her grandmother, who worked as a tailor in a department store in the 1940′s. Her mother is her main source of inspiration, with whom she shares a passion for everything vintage and retro.

Hayley began selling the Miss Hussy Clothing line on Ebay, and after a great deal of success, began selling the label on a Myspace fan page she created for the clothing line as a store front. She moved to Melbourne, Australia, and began producing her clothing designs in large quantities so she could begin marketing Miss Hussy as a professional label. She began selling her pieces in Las Vegas, Nevada and even lived there for some time, but the true roots of the brand remain in her home country of Australia. To this day, the clothing pieces are still manufactured in Australia.

Hayley’s love for vintage style and clothing of the 1950′s came about due in part to the fact that the clothing from that era embraced curves and women of various sizes, and since she claims to have never been entirely thin, felt more comfortable in these styles. She creates pieces that look as if they came directly out of a clothing catalog from the pinup and retro era’s, and enjoys creating colorful dresses, swinging skirts, pencil skirts, stylish and form fitting tops, and plenty of retro embellishments. She also garnered inspiration from her mother’s closet, using the ideas and pieces to create a similar style that is fresh, young and lively. Old Hollywood films are another popular piece of inspiration for Miss Hussy Clothing.

Hayley continues to draw inspiration from retro era’s to create pieces that are beautiful, high quality and embellished with retro and vintage looking patterns and buttons. Whether it be polka dots, leopard print, floral prints or the classic pinup sailor look, quality clothing is the main priority of Hayley as she creates Miss Hussy Clothing. She continues to develop more pieces for online shops, and offers them at affordable Australian prices that range from 65 to 130 dollars.
