Top Shows On Hulu To Watch: For fashionistas From Australia

Do you love to watch fashion-oriented shows? If yes, Hulu is a great destination to explore the genre even further. It is one of the most sought-after streaming platforms with up-to-date content libraries from various genres and categories. While this platform is relatively easy to use and friendly, one thing to know is that this platform is not accessible in Australia. 

But if you wish to access Hulu in Australia, you are going to need a VPN account. Using the VPN, you can access the geo-locked content without hassle. It also conceals your identity and information, safeguarding you from data theft or other linked issues. 

Since both paid and free VPNs are available in the market, you can try them and understand their functioning easily. A few notable VPNs include ExpressVPN or NordVPN, which can help you seamlessly.

So, let us explore the top shows available on Hulu to be enjoyed by the upcoming fashionistas from Australia.

This is a perfect show for those who love fashion. This reality show is an opportunity for upcoming designers to explore their potential. While striving to overcome a variety of thematic, material, and time constraints, amateur fashion stylists and designers compete to create the best outfits they possibly can. 

Other materials like fake fur and ideas like the traditional cocktail dress but with an artistic spin is what this show is all about. The challenges include creating something new in a team-based challenge from just a color theme, creating a dress to style the stars from other shows, and much more.  

  • Stitched

The name of the show tells a lot. This is another reality show that is quite gripping and interesting to watch. In the show, various designers from North America compete with each other. Everyone possesses a skill of their own and has a different level of design knowledge. The one who wins the competition wins a whopping $10,000.

  • Jane By Design

This is a great series to watch and enjoy for those who are not into reality shows. High-ranking fashion executive, Gray Chandler is the star of the show. Her new assistant must keep her true age a secret because she was hired believing she was an adult. She quickly discovers that working for a high-profile boss brings in enemies; for her, it’s Gray’s former assistant. She still retains affection for her old crush Nick in her school, but her ally in the form of the alluring senior designer Jeremy also likes her. Billy, Jane’s closest friend, assists her in keeping her secret as she leads two lives.  

  • Just Shoot Me!

The story is linked to a famous magazine publishing house and the employees’ lives. This comedy show mainly focuses on the magazine and how things change when the owner, Jack Gallo, brings in new talent. Maya, his daughter, is hired to write for the publication, but she is very short-tempered. Meanwhile, there is Nina, who is a superficial former model. She is the one to challenge Maya at every step, creating chaos. With more such characters, the ultimate aim is to keep the business afloat, and the outcomes are genuinely hilarious. 

  • Project Runway Junior

Another series that takes a peep into the fashion world, Project Runway Junior, is about allowing contestants to explore their potential and reach the top. In this show, 12 contestants compete with each other to win a full scholarship to FIDM in California. All the contestants are below 18 years of age, and the winner will also get $25000 to start their own line. 

The story revolves around the lives of two sisters. Julia Sugarbaker is an ambitious and elegant lady who, with the support of her sister diva, Suzanne, plans to start a design firm. The two have great plans supported by close friends Mary Jo and Charlene. But there is another supporter who is ex-con Anthony. He is known to offer advice to women even when they didn’t ask for it. The series shows how the team works and makes their dream firm with all the challenges. 

Conclusion

Well, there is no doubt that watching fashion shows is a fantastic experience. It gives you insight into the latest fashion trends and do’s and don’ts when it comes to styling yourself. From reality shows to sitcoms based on the fashion world themes, you will get a pretty great collection on Hulu. Though there are chances that the platform is unavailable for use in your region, you can always rely on a VPN service to gain access to the site.

Paramore Announce New Album ‘This Is Why’, Share Video for New Single

Paramore have announced their next album: This Is Why arrives February 10 via Atlantic. It’s led by the title track, which is out today alongside a video directed by Turnstile’s Brendan Yates and shot in Malibu, California. Check it out below and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork (by Zachary Gray).

“’This Is Why’ was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. What came out of it was the title track for the whole album,” Hayley Williams explained in a statement. “It summarizes the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last 3 or 4 years. You’d think after a global pandemic of fucking biblical proportions and the impending doom of a dying planet, that humans would have found it deep within themselves to be kinder or more empathetic or something.”

“It was so rad working with Brendan,” Williams added. “I’ve known the Turnstile guys for a little while and was so psyched to have our worlds collide in this way. There’s a cool kinship between the way our bands do things… Hopefully we will get to play shows with them at some point.”

Speaking about the new record in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Williams said:

I think that’s what was so exciting about any type of influence that we’ve grown up with, which I think is probably a bit more wide span than some fans would even realize, just because of the scene that we ended up being such a big part of. We were able to really lean into some of those earliest influences where a lot of electro clash and stuff that had a lot of groove, but it was really aggressive. I don’t know, I love Dev Hynes’ journey because he was in Test Icicles, and then you listen to what he’s doing now and all the artists that he’s worked with. And that’s the kind of artist that we want to be considered as. Zac plays some of his most aggressive stuff on this record and it was so… I was freaking out to be watching it in the studio because we hadn’t seen it in a minute. And yet, like you said, there’s some beautiful restraint that I think shows up in all of us in different parts that really allows other things to speak. And yeah, it was just such a cool… This was such a cool experiment, really.

This Is Why was recorded with longtime collaborator Carlos de la Garza, who worked on the band’s self-titled LP and 2017’s After Laughter.

Knifeplay Release New Single ‘Ryan Song’

0

Knifeplay have previewed their forthcoming LP Animal Drowning with another single, ‘Ryan Song’. Following lead single ‘Promise’, the track arrives with an accompanying video directed by Ben Turok. Watch and listen below.

Talking about the new song, songwriter Tj Strohmer explained in a statement: “This song is about a friend who died young. He was a gifted writer and an incredible, one of a kind person who judged no one. Yet he was deeply misunderstood by most and lived with a lot of pain. A late-night conversation with a mutual friend inspired me to write something that was really about him, rather than my selfish feelings on his passing. Obviously, I will never know for sure if these words actually would have resonated with him, but I did my best with what I do know and I think the feelings expressed in this song are things anyone can relate to.”

Animal Drowning is due for release on October 19 via Topshelf Records.

Ercoli previously helmed the video for Weyes Blood’s ‘Seven Words’. And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow, the follow-up to 2019’s Titanic Rising, is set to arrive on November 18.

Lucy Dacus Covers Carole King’s ‘Home Again’ and ‘It’s Too Late’

Lucy Dacus has offered her take on Carole King’s ‘Home Again’ and ‘It’s Too Late’, two tracks off King’s classic 1971 album Tapestry. Originally released exclusively on a 7” as part of Third Man Records’ Carole King Home Again vault package earlier this year, the covers are now available on streaming services. Take a listen below.

“When I listened to Tapestry from my mom’s CD collection, I was young enough that it didn’t register as good or bad – it just defined what music sounded like to me, and it’s still a foundation of how I understand songwriting,” Dacus told The Guardian. “She’s clever in the good way – queen of internal rhyme – and I love how her melodies reinforce the tone of the lyrics. She keeps it simple, but that’s what makes it universal.” She adds, “When I was asked to cover a couple of her songs, it was a no brainer. Her work feels like a part of my DNA and I’m grateful for it.” 

Lucy Dacus recently shared a rendition of Cher’s ‘Believe’ for the Spotify Singles series. Her latest album, Home Video, came out last year.

 

Let’s Eat Grandma Release New Single ‘Give Me a Reason’

Let’s Eat Grandma have released a new single, ‘Give Me a Reason’, along with a lyric video. It’s lifted from the deluxe edition of their latest album Two Ribbons, which is out now on Transgressive. Check it out below.

“Back in Autumn 2019 we went to Sheringham on the Norfolk coast and stayed in an Airbnb together, where we wrote ‘Give Me a Reason’,” the duo explained in a statement. “Sheringham is a small seaside town and there was barely anyone there at that time of year, it was pretty rainy and cold, but we went for walks and sat by the sea and talked a lot. I think you can really hear the surroundings seeping into the song; it’s one of our most emotionally raw songs, but it felt very cathartic to write because of it. We were both writing about different things, but tying them together in a way which felt like it came together really naturally. We wrote a lot of the songs on Two Ribbons individually after this, so it feels nice to release something that we wrote completely together.”

Let’s Eat Grandma have also announced that they have composed an original score for the new Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, which is set to arrive on October 28.

Daisy George Announces Debut EP, Unveils New Song ‘do u feel?’

0

London artist Daisy George has announced her debut EP, see me now, sharing the new single ‘do u feel?’ alongside the news. It lands on November 25 via Brace Yourself Records. Check out the new track, a collaboration with SANITY, below.

“I wrote this song with SANITY around the time when Sarah Everard was killed in 2021, when the issue of violence against women was prevalent in the news,” George commented in a statement. “It seemed more than ever that everyone had an opinion on how women should behave, who ‘qualifies’ as a woman, and what the experience of being a woman in today’s society meant. ‘do u feel?’ is a direct statement for all women who feel frustrated or who don’t feel heard or truly understood, and the track is loud and powerful to match that frustration.”

Tegan and Sara Share Video for New Single ‘I Can’t Grow Up’

0

Tegan and Sara have shared another single from their ucoming album Crybaby. This one’s called ‘I Can’t Grow Up’, and it follows earlier cuts ‘Fucking Up What Matters’, ‘Yellow’, and ‘Faded Like a Feeling’. Check out its Mark Myers-directed video below.

The new track “was musically inspired by Chicago band Dehd and their album Flower of Devotion,” Sara Quin explained in a press release. “The song started on bass, an instrument I’d never written with until Crybaby, and I was channeling a little bit of Emily Kempf from Dehd, and Peter Hook from New Order. My partner had traveled back to the U.S., after a year of being stuck in Canada during the pandemic, and I was enjoying late nights alone writing music and singing full tilt in the basement.”

Crybaby arrives on October 21 via Mom + Pop.

Nation of Language Return With New Single ‘From the Hill’

Brooklyn trio Nation of Language are back with a new single, ‘From the Hill’. It will be part of a 7” that’s set for release on December 9 and will include another track, ‘Ground Control’, as a vinyl exclusive. Take a listen below.

“’From the Hill’ is a song reflecting on times when friendships fall apart over romantic entanglement, accompanied by the sensation that you’re somehow watching it happen from above with a more zoomed-out perspective,” singer Ian Devaney explained in a statement. “It can feel at times like certain parts of life are a story with which you’re just following along – the characters enter, they play their role, and then they leave. Often it’ll feel sudden and catch you off guard, and other times you’re able to see that it’s the only way things could have played out despite what you may have wanted.”

The song marks the band’s first new music since their 2021 album A Way Forward. “For us, we’re in a moment right now where it feels good to get this out into the world. It’s one that didn’t really feel like it fit the vibe of A Way Forward, nor is it any real indication of where the next record is likely heading. When that situation arrives we like to use these 7” releases to step outside the larger framework that the albums provide and just release a track that we love, so this is us doing that once again.”

Check out our inspirations interview with Nation of Language.

Foyer Red Unveil New Song ‘Pollen City’

0

Brooklyn band Foyer Red have released a new song, ‘Pollen City’. It follows their recent single ‘Pickles’, which came out in July, and May’s ‘Flipper’. Check it out below.

“There’s a special kind of buzzy energy in the air when the seasons change and the weather gets warmer; Pollen City is about that inherent impulse to stir things up, sometimes in a wicked sort of way,” lead singer Elana Riordan explained in a statement. “This track is the first song we wrote from scratch collaboratively as a 5-piece late last year, with ‘Flipper’ and ‘Pickles’ being more associated with the Zigzag Wombat era. I like to think of it as a bridge into the new world the five of us have created together, teasing some new sounds and forms, shapes and colors, etc.”
