BEHIND THE SCENES...



Gosh...it's been two years since I have done a collection let alone a photo shoot, so its time to saddle up ladies and gentlemen!

My new collection called "Street Theatrics" consisting of twelve garments and the colour theme is " platinum" which includes black, white, gold and silver. 

This shoot will include added street props and vintage accessories to make the shoot  individual and quirky.

I have started preparations and began searching for locations, sponsorship of a pre-shoot venue, marketing to gain funds for photo shoot and research inspirations for make-up and hair styles. I am on the look out for a strong fashion and design team at the moment!! On no budget...

I am looking for a photographer and photographer assistant!

My fashion team consists of Sheldon Covich, Jess Small, Sam England, Sarah Martino and Kayla Bajars.

Stay tuned for the photo shoot and some behind the scene action!

SNEAK PEAK...


Promotion and Marketing have begun for the 2014 Australian Indigenous Fashion Week.

I received a phone call from 'All The Perks' and they advised me that they received my samples in time! They arrive on Tuesday and the photo shoot was Wednesday morning.

Here's a sneak peak of what I sent across to Sydney...They were so impressed with my designs so much that they have reimbursed me for the freight costs! 

Look out for the photo shoot with Ms Samantha Harris - the Ambassador of Australian Indigenous Fashion Week. 

I am excited as the acceptance letter advised that the design program begins next month!!

Photo Shoots with a hint of travelling for fashion - such a hard life!
