Richard E. Grant plays Henry Higgins!
Another trip to Sydney is due in October, it would seem.
And for Sydneysiders who might have missed reading the Sun Herald on the weekend:
Come to Gertrude Street. Circa got a nice write up:
Former Sydneysider Nicole Jenkins, who runs Circa Vintage Clothing at No. 102, is one of Gertrude Street's new guard. She moved in four years ago because, she says "rent was cheaper than Brunswick or Smith streets". Jenkins admits gentrification has seen rents rise but says the area is still "very edgy".
"I think it will retain its character," she says. She loves the street's laid-back, bohemian vibe. Jenkins, a costume designer, cleans and restores the clothing she gets from private collectors, mostly from the '40s and '50s. At the moment, she's working on a royal blue Schiaparelli gown from the 1930s and a 1920s Chanel dress. Whether you're looking for a vintage wedding dress or fur stole, you can find it here -at prices generally cheaper than in an equivalent shop in Sydney.
