Mitchell Oakley Smith isn’t the only Australian getting published by an international imprint. Paul Bui, former editor of Australia's longest-surviving indie fashion magazine, Oyster, now working as a freelance stylist and writer, has penned the Sydney chapter of the upcoming City Style: A Field Guide to Global Fashion Capitals. The book is being published in October by New York-based Museyon Guides, which commissioned hipsters in eight cities to write about their local haunts, hotspots and fashion creatives. Bui joins Tokyo-based Brit Dan Bailey from the Tokyo Dandy blog and New York-based Laia Garcia from Geometric Sleep and writers in Milan, London, Paris, LA and Stockholm. Designers profiled include Rad Hourani, Danielle Scutt and Australia’s Kit Willow. Interesting to see Sydney make the global fashion cities cut yet again, after popping up in the top 10 Fashion Capitals list published by Texas-based Global Language Monitor in both 2008 and 2009 (with the launch of the 2010 list imminent).

I really want sydney to be a fashion capital but its just not. I mean, look at the cover of that book, sorry.
in fact the publisher is american and the illustrator (jean-philippe delhomme), french.
but look, don't let that for a nanosecond get in the way of your australia-bashing cultural cringe.
Sis, what a great comment... no, seriously. GREAT.
Sis, having traveled the fashion capitals, I think Australians do really have a distinct sense of style. We're less polished, our look is looser, younger, fresh, urban-meets-surf focussed.
I remember about a year ago Lisa Smith, founder of pr firm Agent 25, published a book on Bondi style. I think this captures Australian style in general...
Not trying to be a shit-stirrer, y'all. Sydney is fab! I just find that book cover a bit corny. Regardless of who made it.
