The brand exists as an eclectic muse that draws influence from a multitude of eras, revolutions, and walks of life.
"From vintage nostalgia to sophisticated simplicity. Vanessa Mooney collections are all about expression. They are unadulterated and uninhibited. Filled with statement earrings, strong forms, bold and interesting shapes, gold and silver multi-chain necklaces, semi-precious stones, and symbolic symbols like crosses and hearts. This brand is for every woman - regardless of style and influence, she can find herself within the Mooney aesthetic."

However there has always been one that has stood out from the rest, the original, and the best. Kate Moss has not only been around for what feels like 100 years, she hasn't seemed to have aged a day, especially seeing as a 4am bedtime appears to be the norm rather than the exception.
While her partying ways have always provided us fabulous rag-mag fodder for the hairdresser's chair, Kate's style is what really has kept her at the forefront of the digital age, without embracing it at all.
No Instagram feed, no Facebook, yet she dominates our feeds regularly, whether with retro #TBT posts, or what she wore in Knightsbridge the day before.
Her style ranges from boho chic to 1920's glamazon, and every outfit embodies how we want to dress.
She is a queen of disarmed fashion, 'throwing together' a look so effortlessly - and yet each one has us scrambling online to try and source something remotely similar.
Kate kicks off our Muse series, where we celebrate the fabulous ladies inspiring our style, and also take a stab at what we think they'd pick from The Addition to complement their look.....

One of our favourites, F+H Jewellery, have partnered with the always-chic-with-a splash-of-sexy Aussie label Bec & Bridge - resulting in a gorgeous capsule of jewels that are the perfect addition to any trans-seasonal wardrobe.
We're loving the mix of metals, stone and pearls - with bold shapes being the order of the day.

Well, that's pretty much the same story here! Just over a year ago I upgraded my phone to the iPhone 6 Plus - yep, I went super-sized.
It was done unexpectedly at the Telco store within a shopping mall, so I needed a case to protect my new baby then and there, so thought I'd have a look around the shops and pick up something that day.
Alas, the only cases I came across were 'bling' and tawdry to say the least, so I jumped online in hope to find one that was both fashionable and sturdy. No luck there either.
And so I dwelled on this. Having been in the fashion industry for over 14 years I knew where to source on-trend and fashionable pieces from OS, but locally, there appeared to be nowhere to access a curated selection of bang-on-trend, well price pointed and super-fashionable accessories and jewellery, that were all in one place, and that were easy to shop (and shipped locally).
Yes I know, quite a list of requirements, but if I expected online shopping to be that easy, so would everyone else!
And so the idea for The Addition was born.
One year (and lots of late nights, lots of viewing pretty things and LOTS of work) later here we are, launching a brand new site, filled with lots of gorgeous pieces!
I am so excited about the brands we have on board, with many local talent + fabulous designs from Paris + LA for good measure :)
The Addition will be heavily influenced by classic design, but also 'what's hot right now' as we recognise you want the best of the best, and what's current on social media and the catwalk.
Make sure you sign up to receive our newsletter, as there are many more exciting arrivals happening over the next few months - and of course new stock dropping from all over the world.
For now, please enjoy the site and follow us on Instagram @the_addition for the latest updates!
