Romy Madley Croft of The XX Talks Ring Pulls, Courtney Love And Dealing With The Hype
Combine four 20 year olds from South West London, some sublime tunes, moody guitars, an ethereal vocal duet and a kid’s Casio keyboard and you’ve got a hotter than Hades British quartet, The XX. Pedestrian caught up with lead singer Romy Madley Croft and found out about their hectic touring schedule, befriending Florence and the Machine, singing covers and becoming unexpected fashion symbols. It’s a damn long way from the days of jamming together in their school music rooms and not at all bad for four kids still living at home with their parents. Thankfully those lucky few heading to Laneway Festival in January will get a peak at what all the fuss is about. Just look for the ring pulls.

Shane Sakkeus On Surf Gang Fist Fights, London Fashion Week and Thinking Outside The Square
Shane Sakkeus is busy. Really fucking busy. As one third of design collective Trust Fun! Sakkeus battles psychedelic algorithms in the morning, produces a fashion/comic book hybrid in the afternoon and works for clients such as London Fashion Week and Topshop in the evening. On his lonesome he's a publisher, art director and graphic designer whose current responsibilities include redesigning Oyster Magazine, rebranding Josh Goot and answering way too many questions from Pedestrian. We pestered Shane incessantly to get these answers back but now that we're privy to his workload, the tardiness is completely understandable. Prepare to feel lazy everyone.

Topshop + Incu Sydney Progress Report
Seven days have elapsed since Topshop first landed in Australia and as far as we can tell, no one has died as a result. Now that might sound a tad hyperbolic but from the preppy streets of New York City to fashion forward Tokyo, the High Street giant has a knack for inciting retail hysteria wherever it goes.

Rachel Rutt Talks Ant Bites, Wardrobe Staples and Helicopter Head
Where would we be without multiculturalism? Tetsuya Wakuda's fusion cuisine, which owes as much to classic French cooking techniques as it does to a distinctly Japanese approach, wouldn't exist. Neither would circa '71 Can a Krautrock band from Cologne, Germany fronted by a Japanese busker with poor English. Alexander McQueen's stunning Fall'08 collection? A theatrical fusion of British tailoring and Indian craftsmanship that showed in Paris. Or how about The Motorcycle Diaries a biopic about an Argentinian, starring a Mexican and Directed by a Brazilian.

J.R White Of Girls Talks Gay Porn, Drugs and Attractive Acquaintances
Pedestrian chatted with one half of San Francisco duo ‘Girls’ about their debut album, jumping into the fame game head first and their not safe for work Hardcore XXX music video. As we learn, the duo aren't the drug fiends everyone thinks they are, the cavalcade of beautiful girls aren't models they're friends and their debut album errr "Album" may well be this Summer's most exuberant slice of hazy, washed out guitar pop. Ladies and Gentleman meet Girls.

How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love Working For Free Without The Guarantee OF Future Employment
Thanks to V Raw the past few weeks have seen Aaron, Tully, Jade, Vanessa and Meg (our tireless interns) grace Pedestrian HQ with their presence. During that time the intern crew have transcribed interviews (sorry guys), suggested content ideas, interviewed talent, written posts, taken photos and blown our minds. And rightly so, interning is a media rites of passage that almost all budding writers, magazine editors and public relations gurus must endure. But exactly what does it entail? Well in many ways it’s like an apprenticeship but instead of 8 dollars an hour you’re paid in by-lines, the occasional freebie and good faith - and the only conceivable occupational health and safety issue is RSI by data entry.
