Chew invites you to enter a fantasy world filled with magical creatures, otherworldly images and fantastical ideas. Fantasy or Fetish? "Perhaps it is more apparent in this culture of penny-pinching, tightening our belts and generally bemoaning the bankers who brought about our having to exchange a shopping splurge for re-familiarising ourselves with our existing wardrobes, that a foray into the fantastical becomes a frequent occurrence," suggests Alexandra Ross. Twilight zone Chew fashion columnist Rachel Arthur bites into the latest fashion craze, inspired by Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and Jacob Black. Confused? Designers like Gucci and Prada take their queue from these fictional Twilight characters. Listen up Rachel Crous chats with Cutout Collective, a band that's reinventing the musical landscape of electronic and alternative projects, no jokes.
