the colour society

Last Sunday I gave a short presentation of my relationship with colour to the Colour Society here in Perth. It was a great chance to look at my work from another angle. It gave me a fresh perspective on the directions I have taken over many seasons of fashion and it also made me aware of my fierce connection with colour. It may seem more obvious to others that it has played a major role in my work but funnily enough it has been such an intuitive response for me that in many ways I have downplayed its importance. It is always good to recap on the past in order to move forward.

I recently did a shoot with Alberto from Slotbox photography at the Pantry door in angove st North Perth. This would have to be one of my favourite places to go to breakfast on the weekends. They have such a fantastic way of displaying their food and the environment is very old french with its bric a brac and bentwood chairs. The shoot features a new model called Rebecca who had a beautiful elegance in a european way. I am very happy with these shots that feature pieces from my winter 2011 collection. All pieces are available from my studio rack( a carefully chosen collection hanging in my studio). If your size is not there it is very possible to make your size up within 2 weeks.
Studio is located - Rear of 55 Queen Victoria St, Fremantle...entry through the shop.
