So originally we thought we might stage a whole production of sundry looks we could dig up and chuck together, then we realized after an interesting take on Beetle Juice, an Edwardian mash-up and some sequin get-up that I’m not sure how to categorize, we had run out of light and enthusiasm. The rest might come later, (think hardcore Brit Punk, Studded Mayhem, Excessive Cyber Goth… yes we are a one-trick pony). LOL.

Title not in specific reference to myself, rather a comic book name – from the Black Canary. For some unbeknown reason my wardrobe, from when I was an ankle biter to a neck biter (?) has always somewhat circulated around get-ups that have a ’superheroine-esque’ vibe. From the BRIGHT red plastic jumpsuit my Mum clothed me in at the tender age of… actually I have no idea, I’ve never been good at discerning kids ages, but I’m really small, say 3? It covered my feet, hands and my head, only leaving a cut out for my tiny (adorable) face. She would throw me in the backyard and leave me content for hours, then to call me back and hose me down. Doesn’t that sound totally appealing still? Haha hmmm. Ok I went off on a tangent, but this outfit was kick ass and I wish I had one in my current size. (And I am thinking ‘cute’ not fucked up fetish zen suits with holes in all sorts of inappropriate places)
Moving right along, my superhero fascination seems to have wiggled it’s way into my uni work, and all the way through to my grad collection, even if somewhat diluted (as we all know the superhero aesthetic has been DONE in fashion for decades). So for a bit of fun I thought I’d throw up a bunch of rather embarrassing pictures (?)
The jumpsuit is from a shitty Adelaide Salvos, the kids section actually… the boots are an accidental purchase – I truly thought they would be wearable but NO – cunts on Ebay who fool people – they are fetish to the maximum, wearable for only a few moments before… well you can use your imagination. The jacket is vintage, and to be honest cannot for the life of me remember which state, let alone which shop I got it from. A bunch of random collected chains and the bracelet is from Lucrezia & De Sade. Best sex shop in town!
And just for good measure:
And no, I WISH, they are not mine. WOE.

There were some stupid/funny photos that came from this day that if were ever leaked, I no doubt think would lead to a lot of people questioning our sanity!? haha. Anyway, judging by the photos we ended up choosing for this post, we both seemed to gravitate towards the impromptu ‘in-between-shots’ photos where our faces are the most hidden. Clearly still having issues with this whole whoring of the face on blog thing.
Here is Cami – love this photo, one of those in between shots I mentioned.
Nadia wearing: black vintage crochet dress and nude slip borrowed from cousin. She was in China for a few days, so I went and borrowed stuff from her wardrobe! Sorry Anna, you’re probably reading this now! haha. Also wearing 10 hole Docs, standard black leather bag and a summery biker jacket.
hahahahaha kinda look like a gremlin here, action running face
Cami wearing: …i’m just going to do this and you can change it later Cami… “shit jeans” (whatever they are not) “vtg jacket and tshirt” and “Chloes”. NO BIG FUCKING DEAL… just “Chloes” haha x
Here wearing awesome Does Not Equal arc bracelet that I recently re-discovered when cleaning my uni working space (thank god) It’s amazing and it’s one of the last things I still wanna post about on fox man about. Also wearing spike bracelet from Bangkok and various rings.

I have a story about these jeans… I wrote out the whole story before, but it would have been long and painful to read for most. Decided to do dot points:
Quick sum-up of this post: I wish I still owned those jeans in their original 80s state – not cut short at the knees, no slashes. Also wish they would fit me right now. Finally, I would like to have the ability to switch on ‘fashion ignorance’ – especially when designing. That’s it! I really just wanted to share images of these jeans that I once owned!

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HERE WE ARE!!
We are DI$COUNT. This is our new blog. Nadia and Cami, we both recently graduated from the hallow halls of RMIT ‘fajun’ design. The blog will be whatever the hell it turns out to be – mostly a mutual stomping ground for the two of us to give anyone interested a bit of an insight into who we are, how shit inspires us and as an outlet for ideas and thoughts on any given topic. Feel free to use whatever you like, and tell us what you think.
Nadia getting excited…
Cami looking somewhat like a young boy… awkward… ha
Ok so the photos get a little odd from here down, but we blame lame Melbourne bars for driving us to scaling walls and dancing in graffiti coated alley ways…
